FA S H I O N Pretty practical IT’S FAST BECOMING THE STREET STYLE STAPLE OF SUMMER - THE DRESS AND TRAINERS COMBO IS THE ONE TO ROCK FOR EFFORTLESSLY LAID-BACK DRESSING, SAYS AMY NORBURY LOCKDOWN has had an effect on every part of our lives - and our wardrobes are no exception. With loungewear overtaking tailoring as the work attire du jour, and our ‘going out’ outfits eschewed in favour of home comfies, we’ve had a serious rethink about how we approach daily dressing. And thanks to lockdown, the words ‘heel’, ‘stiletto’, and ‘wedge’ have been noticeably absent from the fashion lexicon for the past few months. Because who would opt to wear sky-high stompers when flats have become more than acceptable all-day wear? This summer’s ‘effortless chic’ award goes to a daily uniform which embraces comfort all the way, while still looking perfectly put-together. That’s right, the trusty dress and trainers combo is the top choice for those whose only opportunity to show off their breezy summer garb has been on the supermarket dash. Now, with picnics in the park the height of social activity, adding our sportiest trainers to our floatiest dress is a foolproof approach to dressing for a park outing. Having perfected the art of the ‘sunny mini-dress worn with trainers’, Hollywood starlet - and self-confessed sneaker obsessive - Emily Ratajkowski is a poster girl for the look. The supermodel has long had her Nike Cortez, Air Force 1s and Keds on pretty much permanent rotation. So how to work the combo? Thankfully, it’s one which doesn’t require much forethought - simply throw on your favourite summer dress, add your comfiest trainers and you’re good to go. The classic Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars are a footwear go-to for myriad occasions and outfits - this timeless canvas shoe comes in enough colour variations to match pretty much anything in your wardrobe. Opt for crisp, clean white - or even white leather for a smarter look - to pair seamlessly with patterned and floral dresses, or try one of the cool prints to add a fun touch to a plain sundress. Elsewhere on the trainer front, Adidas Originals’ go-to Stan Smiths, or the aforementioned Nike Air Force 1s so beloved by Emily Ratajkowski, are a worthy investment for optimum dresspairing. Every wardrobe needs a good shirtdress or three, and while they can be dressed up effortlessly with heels, they look just as stylish teamed with a sporty pair of trainers for a touch of everyday elegance. Whatever your style, the dress and trainers combo is one that can be worked with very little effort - and we’re hoping this comfortable approach to dressing sticks around long after lockdown ends.
