Jennifer Garner always exudes effortless, uncomplicated elegance, whether she's teaching her Instagram followers how to make bagels from scratch or razzing up fans with a 13 Going On 30 reunion selfie featuring Mark Ruffalo. To master this vibe, the actor has chosen several reliable pieces for her capsule wardrobe — relaxed jeans, white tees, breezy sundresses, and what might be her most worn item of them all: sneakers. Garner's sneaker collection is vast and features sporty running shoes, vintage-inspired trainers, and designer low-top kicks. Whichever sneaker Garner chooses to wear when running errands, the pair no doubt will represent her easygoing, laid-back weekend style.

As you'll soon discover below, Garner's outfit formula is typically composed of a relaxed pair of blue jeans, a loose tee, and a pop of athleticism in the form of her footwear. Occasionally, she'll sprinkle in a sandal or a pair of clogs, but Garner's footwear rotation always includes wear-everywhere functional sneakers. Make no mistake, her sneaks do range in aesthetics: there's her luxe pair of tan Brunello Cucinelli tennis shoes that have a casual vintage feel, along with her multiple pairs of running sneakers from low-profile athletic brand Brooks. She may not be your usual image of a hypebeast sneaker enthusiast, but with her versatile and enormous collection as proof, the actor fits this bill. Ahead, find the sneakers Garner swears by the most and shop them too.

Their athletic design represents the cornerstone of where fashion meets function and makes them a solid option for any activity. Follow Garner's lead and style them with distressed jeans and a crewneck, or with sleek leggings for a I-just-left-a-pilates-class look.

This light blue pair from fair trade brand Veja is one of Garner's favorites and features a seafoam hue and sky blue colorway. Take a cue from the actor and style the vibrant pair with dark wash denim bottoms and a trusty cardigan to complete your easygoing ensemble. Meghan Markle is a fan of the French brand too, although Markle's go-to Veja sneakers are a bit more neutral and feature a black and white color palette.

As evidenced with Garner's other sneakers in her top rotation, she loves a pop of color. This luxe designer pair features a color-blocked green stripe down the side, but is low-key enough to wear when running errands out and about in Los Angeles. To dress up the sneaker, wear with another one of Garner's wardrobe staples: a midi dress.

You might already have this vintage staple in your closet, as Stan Smiths have been in style since their debut in the '70s. While the iconic sneaker comes in an array of colors — green, red, and even a floral print — Garner opts for a pop of solid navy blue in her pair. The beauty of this everyday sneaker is its versatility. Wear it with blue skinny jeans like Garner has done or elevate your kicks by pairing it with a sundress or midi skirt.
