I Never Thought Sneakers Should Be Paired with This Skirt Trend—But I've Just Been Shown Otherwise.

I Never Thought Sneakers Should Be Paired with This Skirt Trend—But I've Just Been Shown Otherwise.

      When contemplating a new purchase, I typically do a quick mental inventory of the items already in my closet to ensure that I can easily style the new piece. So, when I finally acquired a lovely, lace-trimmed satin skirt, my wardrobe calculation began. Kitten heels? Check. Mary Janes? Absolutely. Sandals? Naturally. What didn't even occur to me was that my reliable trainers might be the most fashionable option of all. This week, I learned not to make hasty styling assumptions when I saw Alexa Chung wearing a silky satin skirt in the softest pink hue, trimmed with delicate lace, paired with the one footwear choice I hadn’t considered: a set of chunky Balenciaga Hamptons Trainers (£675).

      By combining the airy fabric with sturdy, thick-soled trainers, Chung infused her appearance with a stylish, practical vibe that prevented the outfit from looking overly delicate. She introduced texture with relaxed wool socks and a boxy white t-shirt, which bridged the gap between the sophisticated miniskirt and the casual trainers. It turns out that if you want to give your lovely skirts a more relaxed feel, trainers might be just what your ensemble is lacking. Keep scrolling to find the best lace-trimmed skirts and trainers to recreate this look for yourself.
