Something I know after years spent writing about fashion is that trainer trends move fast. So when I want a quick read on what’s actually resonating in real-time, I turn to the celebrity style set. With access to the latest and greatest pieces, it’s always fascinating to see which trends they’re choosing to work into their wardrobes and which ones they quietly skip. And this weekend my scroll-stopping moment came courtesy of Kendall Jenner, who stepped out in a trainer trend that’s not only unexpected but also surprisingly wearable.
Spotted soaking up the sun at Coachella, Jenner swerved the usual suspects—plain white trainers, which, let’s be real, would dirty in an instant in any festival setting—and instead opted for a pair of glossy silver trainers. Set on a black base with thick silver detailing framing the shoe, the metallic sheen and subtle iridescence added depth and shine to her casual ensemble in ways few other trainer trends ever could.
Styling her trainer with a casual and comfortable look, Jenner styled cuffed straight-leg black jeans, a pared-back grey tank, The Row’s Park Tote Bag (£2,270), and simple Gucci sunglasses, creating a low-key festival-ready outfit with elevated undertones.
With their futuristic finish and easygoing appeal, silver trainers are an easy alternative to white, which, thanks to the reflective finish that literally mirrors what you’re wearing, go with just as much as their optic counterparts. Styling well with denim—as showcased by Jenner—these trainers work just as well with cut-off shorts, voluminous skirts or slip dresses as the white trainers that we all know and love.
