Fashion People in Paris Turn to These Outfit Ideas When They Wear Trainers

The style set in Paris is routinely a go-to source for effortless style inspiration. What can I say, fashion people in Paris just often get it with that je ne sais quoi. I recently highlighted one of the key shoe trends Parisians wear (ahem, knee-high boots). But next up, I thought I’d focus on another footwear silhouette that is a staple for many. Yes, I’m talking about trainers.

I wear trainers basically every single day, so I’m consistently on the hunt for fresh outfit ideas to wear with my favourite pairs. To that, I scrolled through my saved photos on Instagram and noted the looks French people wear with trainers (typically retro silhouettes this season) to use as inspiration for myself. I thought you’d be intrigued as well, so I curated a grouping for you below.

1. WHITE SHIRT + WHITE TEE + JEANS

Of-the-moment adidas Sambas sneakers are classic with a pair of straight-leg jeans and a white button-down shirt over a tee.

A white shirt is a versatile wardrobe staple. 

The relaxed shape and raw hem adds a 90's feel. 

The paired-back look requires minimal jewellery. 

Samba's are hard to come by right now, but Gazelle's offer a similar retro silhouette. 

2. SHEARLING COAT + WHITE TOP + JEANS

A loose leather jacket on top of a white tee and jeans combo is modern and effortless with those trusty sneakers.

Layer up this winter with this useful top. 

This bag incorporates Staud's signature knotted top handles. 

The perfect gift from you to you. 

3. BLAZER + SUIT TROUSERS + CASHMERE SWEATER

For an elevated silhouette, consider a suit in a relaxed cut.

The classic colourway makes this feel even more elevated.

Need to layer up? Add a cashmere sweater. 

These classic trainers remain part of the fashion uniform. 

4. LONG COAT + DENIM SHIRT + JEANS

This is cool layered look featuring the denim on denim, longer coat, XL scarf, and sneakers.

This beautiful silhouette will forever be in style. 

The trick to mastering double denim is to choose differing washes - for example this light blue jean with the darker blue shirt. 

An acne scarf is on every editor's wish list. 

New Balance's flagship women's sneaker. 

5. MAXI SKIRT + WHITE TEE + MOTO JACKET

A maxi skirt and sneakers feels fresh with a moto jacket.

I wear a classic white tee at least once a week. 

Celine's Triomphe sunglasses are highly sought-after.

Complete the look with retro striped tube socks. 

Finish up with a monochromatic trainer.
