Don’t put your sneakers in the back of the closet just yet. While everyone’s sporting Uggs, knee-high boots, and cozy winter shoes, Jennifer Lawrence just made the case for wearing your sneakers through winter, and I’m so here for it. In L.A., the cold weather season hasn’t quite yet hit its stride, and sneakers are one of my most-worn practical shoes for when I know I'll be out and about throughout the day. Lawrence’s pair, however, is much more controversial than my typical lace-up Nikes. Lawrence was spotted in
New York dressed cozy in a cardigan, scarf, and straight-leg jeans, toting a $8,000 Hermes Kelly Monaco Bag. In an outfit as simple (yet stylish) as this, her shoes added a pop of intrigue. She was wearing Nike Air Rift sneakers that featured a laceless exterior, Mary Jane strap, and separated toes like Maison Margiela Tabis. Chic! They looked more like a dressed-up flat than a sneaker, which is proof of the power of the “sneakerina” trend. Imagine all the comfort of a traditional walking shoe, in a sleek ballet flat.
