As someone whose job allows me to work from home a few days a week, it’s safe to say I’m extremely well acquainted with my leggings drawer. Making up the foundation of my outfits for at least a third of the week, they’re a wardrobe staple I don’t take lightly. And because I wear them so often, I’m always on the lookout for styling tweaks that make them feel fresh rather than frumpy.

This week, that inspiration arrived courtesy of Dakota Johnson. Stepping out in Los Angeles, she paired her sleek, black high-waisted leggings with a trainer trend that instantly elevated the look. Forgoing the predictable white trainer–black legging combination—which, dare I say, is starting to feel a little dated—Dakota opted for a chic flash of colour instead, grounding her outfit with a pair of blue trainers.

Riffing on the colourful trainer movement that’s been gaining momentum over the past few seasons, her choice added welcome dimension without tipping into anything too loud or distracting.
