Pippa Middleton Just Gave The Chunky-Sneaker Trend Her Stamp of Approval
There was a time when ladies of the high-society crowd wouldn't dare wear tennis shoes in public, but those days are long gone. In 2019, sporty footwear falls under the casual-chic category. Even Pippa Middleton advocates for the chunky white sneaker trend.
The British socialite is all about being comfortable these days, constantly taking six-month-old son Arthur out for walks in London dressed in cozy sweaters and her favorite Jimmy Choo sneakers.
That was the case on Mon., when she wore her trusty trainers out for the dozenth time. Middleton threw on her go-to pink coat (that Claudie Pierlot number she wears nonstop) and laced up a pair of stylish designer sneaks for her daily stroll with the baby.
Her shoes are the epitome of a basic white sneaker, with a classic round toe, flat rubber sole, and lace-up front fastening. The new mom is clearly obsessed with them because she's sported them more times than you can count on two hands.
Middleton acquired the $500 calf-leather sneakers back in Sept., just before giving birth to little Arthur (because every pregnant woman is entitled to a comfortable pair of tennis shoes). Since then, she's paired them with floral dresses, colorful denim, winter coats, and everything in-between.
As her outfits demonstrate so perfectly, these neutral shoes go with just about everything. They're a fit for Middleton's feminine florals and Hailey Baldwin's bold athleisure looks alike. While Gigi Hadid sports them with crop tops and bike shorts, Kate Middleton pairs hers with preppy anoraks on casual days out.
In fact, white sneakers are pretty much the liaison between every aesthetic at the moment. And (finally) you don't have to compromise on comfort to be on trend.
Ahead, Middleton's favorite footwear and other all-season sneakers your feet will be thankful for.
