There's no feeling quite like falling head over heels for an item you've spotted on a celebrity or influencer only to find said item and realise it's got a hefty price tag attached. I can't splurge on designer items often (or ever) and instead favour a trusty few high-street brands that are worthy of my investment and vintage or second-hand shops. So when A-list fashion folks champion an affordable design and give it their longed-for stamp of approval, I feel all kinds of excitement.
This time around, celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Olivia Wilde (maybe you've heard of them?) are embracing an already-established design: Adidas Gazelle trainers. At around the £75 mark, they sit at the lower end of the trainer spectrum price-wise, making them accessible to those of us not on a film-star or supermodel salary. Plus, not only are they purse friendly, but these trainers also get big bonus points for how comfortable and stylish they are.
Navy is a safe bet if you're buying your first pair of Gazelles.
2. Black Blazer + Blue Jeans
Style Notes: It's always refreshing when someone takes a tried-and-tested outfit formula and injects something unexpected into it. Case in point: Olivia Wilde's sunflower-yellow Gazelles.
Style Notes: I'll forever be a fan of all-black outfits, but sometimes they can feel a little heavy. This look from Lindsey Holland overcomes that problem by going the bare-leg, short-sleeve route. Chuck on a camel trench coat if it's nippy out.
Jewel tones are big this season, and this feels like an easy way to tap into the trend.
6. Fitted Blazer + Relaxed Trousers
Style Notes: The quickest and most effective way to dress town tailoring? Add in a pair of fuss-free trainers. Danielle Bernstein has done just that, and I love the result.
Style Notes: Influencer extraordinaire Alyssa Coscarelli styles her Gazelle trainers with a vintage ruffled skirt and a plain white tank for a relaxed yet impactful look. Note to self: Search for a similar skirt ASAP.
If you're in a position to splurge, don't miss out on this killer Adidas x Gucci collab.
