It’s been a minute since we had a fresh dress-and-sneakers outfit to discuss, so when I saw the one I’m about to put on your radar, I was immediately intrigued. White sneakers paired with a sundress of sorts had been *the* Copenhagen-coded dress outfit to wear for some time, but 2026 calls for something different, and while out for the night in NYC, Charlotte Lawrence just gave us what could be the new dress-and-sneaker look of today.
Lawrence’s outfit consisted of a long, minimal knit dress and chunky athletic sneakers (specifically, silver-and-red Salomons). As the saying goes, opposites attract. The combination of the sleek long dress with the rugged sneakers (bonus points for the leopard-print bag) makes for an outfit that’s very of-the-moment, and the fact that it’s a far cry from the fit-and-flare-midi-dress-plus-white-sneakers look of years past is refreshing.
Scroll on to see Lawrence’s unexpected sneaker outfit for a night out in NYC, and shop similar dresses and sneakers to recreate the cool look for yourself.
