If you’re looking to give your white trainers a little more airtime now that spring is finally in bloom, I’ve found the jeans silhouette that makes them look their chicest. Whilst this season’s bootcut styles continue to trend, there’s something about the way they puddle over trainers that can feel slightly off-balance. Instead, take your cue from Hosk and reach for an ankle-grazing, cropped pair.

Spotted out this week, the model made the timeless pairing feel particularly fresh, styling crisp white trainers with tonal, ankle-length white jeans. The subtle flash of ankle created a sense of freshness that feels perfectly attuned to the warmer months ahead, whilst welcoming in a lightness that complements the bright trainers. Meanwhile, the cropped cut adds a certain structure that makes the casual trainers feel far more considered.

Balancing the casual energy of her footwear, Hosk layered on a belted, bubble-hem coat in a soft beige hue, adding structure and sophistication to the look. Slim black sunglasses and a coordinating Hermès bag completed the ensemble.
