Trainers and white T-shirts are, without question, the most worn items in my wardrobe. Whether I’m styling them with jeans, linen trousers or breezy cotton skirts, they’re the pairing I instinctively reach for time and again. And while there’s something to be said for not messing with a good thing, every so often I feel the urge to breathe new life into this classic combination.
Right on cue, a photo of Florence Pugh landed on my desk complete with exactly the kind of fresh styling inspiration I’d been craving. Taking the humble tee-and-trainer formula and giving it a non-boring twist, Pugh chose a retro-inspired ringer tee that immediately elevated the look. From there, she made another simple yet impactful swap: instead of reaching for basic white sneakers, she slipped on a pair of bright blue Adidas Gazelle Bold trainers.
Keeping things casual, Pugh completed the outfit with white, straight-leg jeans, cuffed at the ankle to spotlight her shoes. To bring even more colour into the mix, she added a sunshine-yellow bag and a light brown baseball cap, pulling together a look that was as playful as it was considered.
With its red piping and nostalgic charm, the ringer tee injected a distinctly ’70s energy into her outfit—something a plain white T-shirt just can’t replicate, while the cobalt blue trainers inject a wash of colour and a playful component.
While Pugh’s exact trainers are now sold out, there’s no shortage of vibrant blue kicks hitting the shelves this season. Similarly, ringer t-shirts are nearly as common as their bright white counterparts. To discover the best of both, read on to find our edit of ringer t-shirts and blue trainers below.
