When you picture Victoria Beckham, I imagine you’ll either envision a black mini dress from her iconic Posh Spice days or a crisp white shirt and wide leg trousers that she often turns to now that she is fully into her fashion designer era. One thing I bet you won’t imagine is VB stepping out in a pair of chunky white trainers. It’s very rare to see the celebrity in a casual ensemble, so much so that I had to do a double-take when I saw a picture of her in New York last week.
Victoria opted for a low-key sweatshirt and jogger combination in a rich khaki colour, and finished it with a pair of Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro trainers. The look was very laidback, but she managed to keep it feeling high fashion by finishing her get-up with some of her signature oversized shades, which also ticked off this season's sunglasses trends.
The star's outfit was both comfy and chic and will make a great choice for a busy weekend of errands or even the school run. It’s a look we can all recreate, so I have rounded up some similar pieces below to add a little Off-Duty Spice to your wardrobe.
Get The Look
This fuss-free sweatshirt will look great with your best barrel leg jeans for a different spin. The timeless khaki tone will sit particularly well with shiny gold jewels, too.
A drawstring waist can be loosened or tightened to find the perfect fit for your shape, so you'll feel extra comfortable while wearing this straight leg pair of bottoms.
The chunky design of these retro-style trainers will add a little extra height without feeling uncomfortable, and now they have had the VB seal of approval, I will be adding to my shopping list.
This hooded take on the look has a sportier vibe than Victoria's simple jumper. Wear with matching bottoms or throw it over your best running leggings for a trip to the gym.
Trainers can feel just as high fashion as a pair of heels these days, and this vintage-inspired pair will do the job nicely. Wear with tailored trousers for a smart casual feel.
Gathered hems will add a little more shape and definition to jersey bottoms. Add some interest to this dark green pair with a bright graphic print T-shirt and a slick of lipstick.
A matching tracksuit set like Victoria’s is a relaxed choice for a low-key day at home, but you can easily wear this type of outfit while out and about too.
Take note from the star and add your best white trainers and shades for a more polished spin, or during summer, you could finish with chunky sandals and a statement tote bag. To get even more wardrobe mileage, you could buddy each half up with other separates, too.
