Individually, they may be simple, but when paired together, this combination of jeans and trainers embodies the essence of a fashionista.
I may spend my time covering the most important trends of the moment, but when it comes to my capsule wardrobe, I like to keep things simple. Far from dull, in my view, the essentials I've selected are highly versatile and serve as a blank canvas, offering me a wide range of styling options each morning without confining me to a single look. What I value the most is how these essentials truly shine when paired together. The subtle details become more pronounced, and the overall appearance feels intentional. These are the looks I most admire in others as well. For instance, Vanessa Kirby’s recent outfit featuring jeans and trainers may seem unremarkable at first glance, but the way she styled it really stood out.
Spotted in New York, the actress combined a shiny leather bomber jacket with sculptural barrel-leg jeans and classic black high-top Converse trainers. Individually, each piece is understated, but together they create the perfect off-duty chic vibe. The outfit incorporates two key trends—barrel-leg jeans and retro trainers—infusing it with an energy that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Barrel-leg jeans, specifically, are gaining popularity as one of this season's top denim styles. Their structured shape adds a refreshing change that disrupts the monotony of straight or skinny fits. Pair this with Kirby’s high-top Converse, a style that has made a comeback among fashion enthusiasts, and you achieve a grounded, easily wearable look full of character.
So yes, her jeans and trainers may be considered "basics," but that's exactly what contributes to the outfit's success. Continue reading to shop for barrel-leg jeans and Converse trainers below.
