If you thought we'd be leaving our obsession with old-school trainers in the past, Sofia Richie Grainge has other plans. Just last week in Los Angeles, Richie Grainge stepped out in the perfect off-duty summer look: a simple black outfit styled with bright, retro trainers. While we've seen plenty of nostalgic kicks take over in recent months (like the controversial Nike Air Rifts), Richie Grainge offered up a humble schoolyard classic with her green Reebok trainers, and honestly, they've never looked cooler.

With white panelling instead of pink, these alternate Reebok Classics are just as chic and eye-catching as Richie Grainge's pair. Make sure to style with crew length socks for a decidedly modern look.

While the sportswear brand has been largely missing from cool girl wardrobes since the '90s, in recent months it's been quietly making its way back to stylish women, and Richie Grainge's Classic AZ trainers are solid proof of this. The bright green suede trainers lean into a vintage running silhouette with striking pink overlays, adding a fun contrast. But it's not just about the good looks with this one. A padded collar and soft foam midsole keep your feet comfortable while a wrap detail at the heel and textured rubber outsole offer traction to keep you moving all day.

Delightfully striking yet surprisingly wearable, Richie Grainge styled the bright green pair with a simple scoopneck black tank top, wide-leg trousers, timeless black sunglasses and a sleek black Alaïa Le Teckel shoulder bag. Designer shoulder bag aside, the look is so simple to recreate for an easy win on those days when you just can't be bothered with outfit planning. The retro kicks are also easy to style for when you wish to dress up a bit more – whether with a summer dress and denim jacket for warm-weather days or with cool girl-approved jorts and a vintage T-shirt.

As simple as it gets, Anthropologie's scoop neck black tank will prove to be a hardworking summer essential when styled with jeans, trousers and maxi skirts alike. Come summer, simply layer it under lightweight jackets and cardigans.

In an inky navy, these billowy trousers from COS are as elegant as they are practical, whether styled with a white T-shirt and flip flops or a smart button-down and loafers.

Alaïa's Le Teckle bag went viral last summer and is proving just as popular for 2025. While there are a few alternatives to shop from on the high street, nothing beats the original.

If you'd rather opt for a lighter trainer, Richie Grainge also styled Reebok's Classic AZ trainers in the soft purple shade on TikTok earlier this year.
