It’s been a minute since we had a fresh dress and sneakers outfit to discuss, so when I saw the one I’m going to put on your radar, I was immediately intrigued. White sneakers with a sundress have been the *Copenhagen-coded dress outfit to wear for a while, but 2026 calls for something different, and while out for a night out in NYC, Charlotte Lawrence gave us what might be today’s new dress-and-sneaker look.
Lawrence’s outfit consisted of a long, minimalist knit dress and heavy athletic sneakers (specifically, silver and red Salomon). As the saying goes, opposites attract. Combining the sleek long dress with rugged sneakers (bonus points for the leopard-print bag) creates an ensemble that’s very modern, and the fact that it’s a far cry from the fit-and-flare-midi-dress-plus-white-sneakers look of years past is refreshing.
Scroll through to see Lawrence’s unexpected sneaker outfit for a night out in NYC, and shop similar clothes and sneakers to recreate the cool look for yourself.
