Jennifer Garner was spotted alongside her son Samuel on October 19. The mother-son duo took a stroll hand-in-hand in Los Angeles. Garner wore casual clothes for her family outing, styling classic jeans and funky sneakers.
Dressed in closet staples, Garner wore a white button-up shirt that she tucked into her slightly faded high-waisted jeans, creating a laid-back look perfect for an outing with the kids. Garner accessorized with a green Fitbit and wore her dark brown hair parted in the middle in a slicked back style.
Whether she’s working out, staying home, or running errands, Garner loves her sneakers. True to that sentiment, the Texas native laced up chunky white Loewe sneakers with his green logo swirling down the sides.
The retro-inspired shoes featured chunky rubber soles on an oversized silhouette with all-white laces, with the dark green detailing creating a nice contrast. A closet staple for many, chunky sneakers often act as a blank canvas for many patterns and colors, given the versatile nature of footwear.
Chunky sneakers were popularized in the 1980s for their practicality, comfort, and stability. Although the popularity of the sneaker style slowed in the 2000s, chunky sneakers re-emerged as part of the “ugly” shoe divisive trend in the late 2010s, attracting attention from across genders.
When it comes to shoes, Garner’s go-tos are often versatile and comfortable. The “Adam Project” actress regularly wears athletic trainers perfect for school or running, from brands like Brooks, Newton, Glycerin and Nike. However, contemporary styles from high fashion brands have also entered its rotation, such as Brunello Cucinelli oxfords, Chloé sandals and sneakers from Gucci, Prada and Isabel Marant. When dressing up, she often opts for pointy toe boots and pumps from Jimmy Choo, Roger Vivier and other top brands.
