Forget White Trainers – Every Fashion Person Is Only Wearing This Colour Now
The year is 2011. Phoebe Philo - fashion's messiah, quiet commander and Céline's creative director - is closing her show. But this time, the moment of impact isn't stitched into hemlines or cut into tailoring. It's walking out with her. As she takes her final bow, the designer steps out in a uniform that's become something of a cut in itself: skinny jeans, a roll-neck (hair tucked in - a noted Philo-ism), and a white, conspicuously unbothered pair of Adidas Stan Smiths. Within a few moments, the groundwork had been laid for what was set to become the bestselling trainer of the last decade. Phoebe Philo at the Celine Autumn/Winter '11 show. ©Getty What followed was a golden age of '70s sneaker renaissance: an era of trainers that looked as if they might have belonged to the cooler sibling in a Wes Anderson film. The fashion set, Victoria Beckham, Raf Simons - and Philo again in 2014 - all stealthily contributed to the rise of the retro trainers, legitimising them in virtually every setting, with the exception, perhaps, of global politics. (Justin Trudeau, we're looking at you). Fast forward to now, and the retro sneaker hype hasn't lost its footing. If anything, it's sprinting ahead: take Wales Bonner's bonafide collaboration with Adidas, for example, which continues to sell out on sight, or look at the craze caused by Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico trainers. We've seen so many Stan Smith revivals or sportswear brands reissuing iconic styles from their archives (hello, Puma Speed Cats). Dries Van Noten has created vintage-inspired trainers, which are a masterclass in scarcity marketing, and if you're reading this, chances are that you, too, own a pair of Adidas Sambas - whether they're still in or not. The point is, retro trainers are the piece of footwear to which we'll never want to say goodbye. But in 2025, there's a notable caveat: all-white kicks no longer make the cut. Call it the limit of ubiquity, their cool having fallen victim to the trends inflation rate, or the fact that they have suffered death by repetition on mums at the school gate (and the cropped, skinny trousers and ankle socks combo didn't help). But, a piece of good news, the industry's tastemakers are switching things up. And if Philo were to give her stamp of approval today? Chances are, it would go to pale yellow sneakers. Already shot out into the mainstream by hamstring-bracing shorts king, Harry Styles, who wore Prada's skinny sole, collapsible heel style out for a stroll this summer, the sunshine-bright shoes aren't hard to find. Loewe's cult-y On collaboration brought forth a pair that fashion editors have bookmarked and backordered. Maison Margiela's newly-launched 'Sprinters' have arrived in a beige-could-be-sun-bleached-yellow colourway, and as for 'The Tennis' by Jacquemus in suede lemon sorbet? Practically extinct in popular sizes. From L-R: Jacquemus' The Tennis trainers; Loewe X On Cloudventure 2.0 trainers So, what's the takeaway? A happy trainer equals a happy life? Maybe. Or, perhaps, the trend pendulum has swung and we've temporarily eschewed white trainers for something with a bit more character until the oversaturated stampede of alpina white shoes has died down again. Either way, if you're contemplating a trainer upgrade this summer, might we gently suggest opting for a dopamine-inducing shot of colour for your feet? Scroll on to shop our favourite pairs below. 1.

This Chic Arket Skirt Is Dominating Fashion Right Now – And It's Worth the Hype
It wouldn't be an overstatement to say I harbour a dying love for skirts. My summer wardrobe is a steady mix of linen midis, denim midis, and tiered maxis, each of which is perfectly suited for those rare but glorious days when the British weather finally decides to cooperate. And, while temperatures tend to fluctuate in the lead-up to summer, I take comfort in knowing my wardrobe will be ready when July and August arrive, all thanks to my trusted line-up of skirts. Still, one midi skirt has recently managed to shake up my well-established line-up: Arket's Poplin Skirt, a piece so good, it's earned a permanent spot in my summer wardrobe. Combining structured tailoring with a light, summery feel, it's a versatile staple that works just as well in the office as it does on off-duty days. Crafted from cool, crisp cotton and finished with timeless blue-and-white vertical stripes, it's designed in a subtly voluminous A-line silhouette that flatters from every angle. With its airy shape and subtle Côte d'Azur charm, the Arket skirt captures two of the most crucial aspects of summer style - a relaxed fit (ideal for catching a breeze) and effortless polish. It's no surprise, then, that the style set has gravitated towards it at record speed. 1. Arket, Poplin Skirt But what makes this skirt a true essential for balmy-weather dressing goes beyond its French Riviera appeal. It's actually part of a set, designed to be paired with the equally chic Oversized Cotton Shirt, a timeless, preppy staple that proves year after year to be a must-have in every summer wardrobe. Featuring the same classic stripe pattern, the shirt combines a cool, oversized silhouette with a stylish cinched waist (very office-siren in my opinion), which is great news if you're not a fan of shirts that swallow you whole when buttoned up. Worn together, this tailored co-ord becomes the ultimate throw-on-and-go outfit formula, perfectly suited for everything from office hours to evening drinks. Like any two-piece set, the real style challenge lies in choosing the right footwear, and if you're looking to keep things chic, black ballet flats are a fail-safe choice. For those seeking a cooler, off-duty edge, sneakers are the way to go - with options ranging from Puma Speedcats to Adidas Sambas, which happen to be a favourite among celebrities, and Onitsuka Tigers. If you're planning to wear the skirt solo, pair it with a crisp white baby tee for an effortless errand run look, or channel boho-chic vibes with a white lace top reminiscent of the Chloé runway. As for the shirt? Wear buttoned up with a pair of crisp white jeans as per the fashion pack, or unbuttoned with a black vest top and wide-leg black trousers. Again, choose footwear accordingly. Shop the matching shirt below. 2. Arket, Oversized Cotton Shirt Pair the Arket Poplin Skirt with the matching cotton shirt for the ultimate summer ensemble. Wear on a trip to the med, for an evening out with friends, or for the office. Image credit: @ and @dianaritasilva _Emma Richardson is a fashion commerce writer for Grazia.

Summer Outfits So Chic, You'll Want to Copy Them All
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Don't look now, but summer is here, which means the time has come to showcase your hot-weather style with some fresh 'fits. Whether you plan to hit the beach with your crew or stay in with the A/C blasting, there's no reason you can't do it wearing something cute. If inspiration is lacking, you're in luck, I found the best casual summer outfit ideas out there, inspired by major celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner and street style mavens alike. Stick to basics with an airy sundress and summer sandals or perhaps—if you're feeling newly inspired by the NBA playoffs—opt for something sporty like a summer tracksuit and heels. At the end of the day, a cute outfit can make all the difference (at least, that's what I believe!). Check out the stylish summer outfits you can all season long, below. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and a baby tee. Take notes from Kendall Jenner, who accessorized this classic combo with loafers and a baseball cap for an effortlessly cool and casual look you can wear on repeat. Jean shorts and summer just go together, and what better time to wear your favorites? Throw on your trusty Adidas Sambas, like Hailey Bieber, and your go-to denim jacket for when the temps start to dip, and you're set. Take a page from Bella Hadid and tap into the Western trend. Center your outfit around a pair of chic cowboy boots, and then style them with a fun graphic tee and cutoff shorts. You'll have a trend-worthy outfit ready in no time. Don't feel obligated to dress up if you're planning to lay low this summer. Sometimes, a sweatshirt and comfy sweatpants are the move. A monochromatic look like this one from Jennifer Lopez still looks put-together and elevated, even when you're in a loungewear set. I anticipate no regrets. An all-black ensemble is perfect for any occasion, including a barbecue or picnic. A romantic dress and ballet flats paired with a dainty necklace come together for an ensemble fit for a daytime outing. Feeling like a woman on the move? A lightweight tracksuit is just what's in order. And if you want to give it a fashion-girl twist, style it with this season's trending aviator sunglasses and a pair of metallic sandals. Sports jerseys are trending for summer—and if you're looking for an unexpected way to style yours, consider a cute bubble skirt. Spice things up with metallic accessories, and I guarantee you'll be primed for a post on the grid. For something that feels casual but still elevated, consider a fitted cardigan paired with Bermuda shorts. Polished details like ballet flats and a leather designer bag will take things up a level. Nothing beats the heat quite like a sundress, which makes it a great option for your summer uniform. It's easy, effortless, and chic—not to mention versatile. Wear it to dinner alfresco or for your neighborhood barbecue. This is a staple that can be as dressed up or down as you want it. No doubt, a long black skirt is the most underrated MVP of your everyday wardrobe. For a go-to look, you can wear again and again, opt for a denim jacket, a classic white T-shirt, and easy flats (like the ones shown here, in the ever-popular butter yellow hue). It's a classy and casual look that'll work for nearly any summer occasion.

Olivia Rodrigo Proves an Unexpected Print Is Actually So Boho
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When you think of the boho aesthetic, which pieces come to mind? Perhaps a crocheted shawl, a billowy maxi dress, or over-the-knee boots. Pretty much every ensemble in the Chloé catalog works. On June 2, Olivia Rodrigo proved that with the right accessories, any Chloé creation can lean boho—even leopard-print pants. Just a few hours after landing in New York (in her signature Adidas Sambas, of course), Rodrigo hit Fish Cheeks in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood to celebrate a friend's birthday. She deemed it the perfect occasion to toast an unexpectedly all-seasons neutral, leopard print, at the same time. Chloé velvet trousers featuring a Y2k low-rise and a bootcut flare hem were the star's pick. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill animal print endorsement, however. From there, Rodrigo upped the boho vibes with suede peep-toe pumps and a coordinating, buckle-heavy brown shoulder bag by Stand Oil. Perhaps inspired by Jennifer Lawrence, Maya Hawke, and Hailey Bieber (to name a few), she chose a slouchy style crafted from faux nubuck leather that aligns with the belt bag trend. View Deal View Deal To finish, Rodrigo popped on a cherry red Brandy Melville long-sleeve. Then, she opted for minimal jewelry—just a silver pendant necklace and matching stud earrings. Much like Miley Cyrus, Bieber, and Lawrence, Rodrigo is undeniably embracing her wild side right now. A few hours before meeting up with her friends, the "Vampire" singer sported another animal print at JFK airport. Alongside jeans and Adidas Sambas, Rodrigo carried a zebra shoulder bag from Rouje. Unlike other Rodrigo-approved purses, the beige suede bag is still available to shop. View Deal Rodrigo has kept a low profile this spring, but she's back in New York City for a highly anticipated performance: her headlining slot at the Governor's Ball festival on June 8. At this rate, she'll take the stage wearing another déjà vu-inducing animal print—or subverting an unexpected seasonal pattern. My money's on plaid or gingham.

Dakota Johnson just put these chunky sneakers back on the fashion map; here's why everyone's obsessed
Move over, sleek and slim - chunky is back, and Dakota Johnson is leading the charge. The Madame Web star, known for her effortlessly cool style and enviable sneaker game, has just brought a forgotten favourite back into the fashion spotlight. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now We're talking about the Nike V2K Run sneakers, a throwback-inspired pair that's suddenly everywhere again, all thanks to Dakota's off-duty gym looks. From sleek to chunky: Dakota's sneaker evolution For the longest time, Dakota Johnson's casual footwear of choice revolved around retro silhouettes. From Adidas Sambas to Converse All-Stars and Nike Daybreaks, her closet was a celebration of low-profile, flat-soled classics that oozed 'cool girl' energy. But things have taken a noticeable turn. On June 2, Dakota was spotted leaving a SoulCycle class in New York, dressed in a minimal all-black workout outfit that screamed quiet luxury, with an edge. She wore Lululemon Align leggings, a tongue-in-cheek pullover from Cinema L'Amour (yes, the adult movie theatre in Montreal), and instead of her go-to Sambas, she stepped out in chunky, futuristic Nike V2K Run sneakers. And just like that, the fashion tides shifted. The V2K run: A nod to Y2K with a modern edge If the silhouette of the Nike V2K Run sneakers looks vaguely familiar, it's because they're heavily inspired by early 2000s running shoes. Think dad-core meets futuristic gymwear. With exaggerated soles, extra cushioning, and techy vibes, they mark a distinct shift from the ultra-slim sneaker trend we've been living in for the past few seasons. Johnson's choice of the all-black version only adds to their wearability - they're sleek but substantial, bold yet versatile. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And at just USD 125 (around INR 12,400), they deliver high fashion vibes without breaking the bank. No wonder they've become her latest obsession. This isn't the first time she's been spotted in them The V2Ks may feel like a new trend, but Dakota's been quietly championing them for months. She first debuted the pair on April 16 after another workout session in Malibu, just minutes from her home. Dressed in a cropped sweatshirt, those same Lululemon leggings, and a New York City Ballet cap, she looked both casual and curated, two of her signature style traits. Interestingly, the Nike V2K might also come with a celebrity co-sign from Jennifer Lawrence, who not only owns the same pair but also styles them in near-identical fashion. Coincidence? Unlikely. The two have been spotted hanging out, and Dakota's June 2 look came just hours after grabbing dinner with Lawrence. Sneaker twins? We think yes. Available in over 15 colours and counting What really sets these sneakers apart, aside from the comfort and cool factor, is the insane variety they come in. Whether you're into neutral whites and tans, or bolder tones like bronze, red, and electric blue, there's a V2K Run sneaker out there to match your mood. So while Dakota might be devoted to her all-black pair (a safe and stylish pick), we wouldn't be surprised if she starts collecting other colours the way she hoarded Adidas Sambas in every shade. Why everyone's now googling 'Nike V2K Run' The power of a Dakota Johnson street-style moment cannot be underestimated. With just one paparazzi snap, she has the ability to shift fashion trends, restock shelves, and bring forgotten gems back into the spotlight. The resurgence of the Nike V2K Run is a perfect example. In an era dominated by minimalism and pared-down fashion, these sneakers offer just enough drama to feel fresh again. They're nostalgic but not dated, bold but not bulky, and they look just as good with a workout set as they do with baggy jeans or a slip dress. And the price? Surprisingly accessible for a shoe that's fast becoming a style staple. You need these in your closet If you're ready to shake up your shoe game, take a cue from Dakota Johnson and embrace the chunky sneaker revival. The Nike V2K Runs are back, they're cool again, and they're basically sold out every time she wears them. So whether you're headed to the gym, brunch, or just trying to emulate that low-key celebrity style, these sneakers are the perfect starting point. And if Dakota's fashion history is any indicator, this trend is only just beginning.
