How To Style Adidas Gazelles

Every fashion fan worth their salt knows you can’t get your hands on a pair of Sambas right now – no thanks to our Insta feeds being bombarded with the classic sporty sneaker – but you can still get a taste of that 90s cool with the shoe’s sister iteration, the Adidas Gazelle.

Spotted on the likes of Kendall Jenner, Harry Styles and Alexa Chung and with a rich cultural heritage that’s seen them sit on the feet of everyone from Kate Moss in her 20s to Mick Jagger in the 70s and just about every Brit Pop star of that era, they offer a knowing nod kind of nostalgia to any look. Plus, with a sought-after collaboration with Gucci, they’ve certified themselves as one of the cult shoes of recent times.

They are also super versatile, pairing perfectly with weekend denim or winter midi skirts and even tailoring. Want in?

Here’s how to style Adidas Gazelles three different ways for SS23…

 

 

Look 1 – How To Style Adidas Gazelles With Denim & Cosy Coats

Add just a subtle pop of colour to classic mid-wash denim, black and white with Adidas’ merlot-hued Gazelles. Totême’s coveted wrap scarf jacket is top of the wish list, but there are plenty of cosy coats and fuzzy blanket scarves on the high street that will recreate the look.

 

 

Look 2 – How To Style Adidas Gazelles With Smart Tailoring

Get more wear out of your smart tailoring by pairing with lowkey accessories. Gazelles are the perfect juxtaposition to a classic suit, whether wearing at the weekend, to the pub on a Sunday or on the commute. The key is to keep things a little oversized for a more contemporary feel.
