Jeans and white trainers go together like salt and pepper—they’re one of those styling combinations that never really date. Now, of course, the exact way we wear them evolves from season to season, and the chicest take on the pairing has just arrived fresh from Cannes, courtesy of model Poppy Delevingne.
Stepping out in a pair of long-line straight-leg jeans, Poppy leaned into the denim silhouette that fashion people are backing hardest right now. Forget cropped jeans, which so many of us instinctively reach for once temperatures rise, or the barrel-leg styles that dominated last summer—this season, it’s all about relaxed, ’90s-inspired straight legs.
And whilst slim-sole trainers are still having a major moment, Poppy took a more timeless, and arguably far more comfortable, approach, opting for classic gum-sole white trainers to carry her from the airport straight into the glamour of the South of France.

To complete the look, she layered on a striped knit, a leather jacket and a rich cognac-toned shoulder bag. With her jeans softly pooling over the tops of her trainers, Poppy’s look was relaxed, understated and perfectly suited to Cannes’ elegant atmosphere.
