I’ve never found styling cropped jeans easy. There’s something about short hems that has always made me question my proportions, and, with the unfamiliarity of the silhouette, I’ve usually erred on the side of caution, always avoiding them in favor of their longer-line counterparts. However, this week, after seeing Meghan Markle step out in a pair of crisp white cropped jeans, I’m starting to reconsider, styled with the perfect trainer trend that really makes them shine.

Leaning into the tonal palette, Meghan paired her cropped denim with low-profile trainers in a similarly optic shade of white. Wearing ankle-length boots ensures that a subtle glow of skin brings lightness and summer-ready energy to the look.
Whereas, the trainer pair keeps things grounded and easy Ballet flats or sandals may feel overly decorated or polished. And while black trainers or bold, colorful pairs may compete for attention, the clean white iteration adds that freshness that’s essential to spring and summer outfits.
Inspired by Meghan’s sleek styling, consider this your cue to revisit cropped jeans and white trainers this season. Shop my edit of the best styles below.
