Designers have taken the liberty to be more imaginative and inventive, maximising colours and exaggerating silhouettes. Each trend is a homage to excess, suggesting that what our wardrobes need now is a sense of fun and escapism.

During the lockdown, Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri stayed active doing pilates and, like all of us, was craving freedom and movement. This unlocked her desire to design these free-flowing Grecian-inspired goddess gowns for Dior’s Resort 2022 collection.

The peplos – a draped, single piece of outer garment worn by women in ancient Greece – was reimagined by Chiuri in a myriad of ways. But the Roman-born designer went one step further with the choice of footwear she paired with these ethereal gowns. Chiuri addressed comfort and beauty in one look by pairing the dresses with sneakers, elevating the ever-popular athleisure aesthetic in response to the younger gen’s preference for unfussy fashion.

So, find the prettiest dress you have, slip on your everyday sneakers, and head out to brunch. Scroll down for more style inspiration from your favourite celebs.

Song Ji A

1/6

Guilty of binge-watching Singles Inferno on Netflix? You're not alone. And while many of the participants in the show have caught our attention one way or another, there is one particular contestant that's got everyone buzzing about. Aside from her phenomenal beauty looks, Song Ji A, is also known for her exquisite taste in style.

Donning a stunning peachy coral dress, the famous beauty content creator paired this look with a matching bag from Alexander McQueen and a simple, black and white pair of chunky high top sneakers for a more casual look.

Rosé

2/6

For her highly anticipated debut performance on Jimmy Fallon last year, Rosé was seen in an incredibly short sparkly mini dress from David Koma’s Spring / Summer 2021 collection, along with a pair of Maison Margiela MM6 sneakers. But why was everyone talking about her outfit? Well, apparently, many couldn't keep their eyes off her slim and long legs that made her look taller, even without heels.

Jisoo

3/6

Speaking of Blackpink members, it's also safe to say that Jisoo is also a fan of wearing dresses with sneakers. Here, the singer and actress posted a series of mirror selfies that highlighted her preppy outfit which consisted of a white shirtdress, layered with a long printed purple vest and a pair of platform sneakers with matchy purple socks to go along with her whole look.

Dua Lipa

4/6

You can never go wrong with a classic LBD. And if you're keeping it casual, take a cue from Dua Lipa with her simple yet chic ensemble featuring Puma's iconic Mayu sneakers.

Tiffany Young

5/6

Tiffany Young definitely knows how to work an all-black ensemble without overdoing it. While many tend to wear heels or boots to make their legs look longer, Tiffany teaches us how it's really simple to do the same, with a pair of knee-high socks and sneakers.

When it comes to daring style choices, Kylie Jenner is one of the few celebs who know how to make outfits pop. Case in point: this long and simple black maxi doesn't just accentuate her curves, but she also goes for an off-shoulder look to flaunt her neon green innerwear, which also matches with her bright green sneakers.
