Adidas Originals Superstar 2 make a big revival this summer! This revival is in line with the “comfort is stylish” as well as “I don’t try too hard to look stylish!” attitude. And its pretty true those shoes are not only made for walking but look super effortless too. However, there is a fine line between a jeans + sweater + trainers bucolic/ sloppy look and a really stylish outfit including Adidas Originals Superstar 2. Below I show you how to mastered the art of making trainers look incredible using one of my favorite models at the moment Freja Beha Erichsen as an example.

Similar to Alexa Chung during New York Fashion Week Freja managed to spice up a totally classic business look with a pair of trainers. In this way she transformed the otherwise boring look into a super fashionable style.
As I have tried to often to make a white shirt plus black pullover plus black blazer work and ended up looking like a member of the theologic faculty I would go for a white shirt black jacket combination instead.

A big scarf is quintessential to finish the look. A black one can easily make the face look a little sad and dark, particularly in woman with light hair. Thats why I chose my favorite color – khaki. The scarfs from Faliero Sarti, which are available at L’Eclaireur Paris are exactly the right big scarfs. The best selection can be found at the mens store in 12 Rue Malher (Marais) – here the scarfs are extra big, the colors are mainly neutral and there is little print on them. They are super expensive – but its worth to save for one – they never go out of style and will accompany wherever you go!!!
… and of course the addition of a great wool coat gives the whole look the perfect finish, photo@harpersbazaar.com
The whole look gets even better when you add a stylish coat. Great choices are definitely offered by MaxMara.
What do you think about that look? Would you like to try to mix your Nike trainers in that way?
