Adidas Sambas have transitioned from a major sneaker trend to a wardrobe classic. Its versatility and timelessness allow it to be worn in any season, in any city, and for almost any occasion. However, the key to keeping the Samba feeling modern, rather than dated, lies in its styling. For a chic, very spring 2026 aesthetic, a winning combination—as demonstrated by Lily Collins—is pairing the sneakers with relaxed, straight-leg jeans.
This week, while in Brentwood grabbing coffee, Collins was spotted with her husband, Charlie McDowell, wearing a chic yet casual denim ensemble. The look featured a sporty jacket, a hooded sweater, and cuffed straight-leg jeans. She completed the look with suede Adidas Samba sneakers and a Chanel 25 bag.

As Collins showcased, straight-leg jeans and Sambas pair perfectly because they’re both visually balanced. The jeans are neither overly baggy nor skinny; they fall cleanly from the hip to the ankles, and the sneakers match that middle-ground energy, creating an outfit that looks intentional and polished. Bottom line, it’s a classic pairing that will always work.
