It’s been a minute since we had a fresh dress-and-trainers outfit to discuss, so when I saw the one I’m about to put on your radar, I was immediately intrigued. White sneakers paired with a sundress of sorts had been *the* Copenhagen-coded dress outfit to wear for some time, but 2026 calls for something different, and while out for the night in NYC, Charlotte Lawrence just gave us what could be the new dress-and-trainer look of today.

Charlotte’s outfit consisted of a long, minimal knit dress and chunky athletic trainers (specifically, silver-and-red Salomons). As the saying goes, opposites attract. The combination of the sleek long dress with the rugged trainers (bonus points for the leopard-print bag) makes for a very of-the-moment outfit, and the fact that it’s a far cry from the fit-and-flare midi dress plus white trainers look of years past is refreshing.
