Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson were recently spotted enjoying a casual stroll through Manhattan. The newly-engaged couple are known for their combination of cool and couture, but it was Waterhouse who stole the show in her sartorial hit.
Waterhouse, 33, flaunted her chic bohemian style while donning a shirt by Isabel Marant. She looks perfectly chic and warm with it layered over a Madewell tank top. To Kit’s debonair ensemble, she tossed a pair of well-loved, vintage Levi’s 501 jeans. No wonder this great staple has remained so popular for over 30 years! Her getup was a scream about her passion for newfangled old-people stuff. Worn to perfection, it accented her extensive lineup of furry Charlotte Simone coats, flared denim and dystopian slouch Chloé booties.
And as they walked through the jubilant streets of New York, Waterhouse glowed with the exuberance of a regular 33-year-old. He fell into the urban milieu like a whisper on the wind. She opted for the Mexico 66 sneakers to complete her look. This approach to industrial design saw a huge renaissance in the last few years, favoring sleeker and sexier lines. Once worn by Uma Thurman in the iconic action saga “Kill Bill,” these sneaks have come to define a reclusive-glamorous aesthetic.
Despite not rocking any particular brands or styles, Pattinson still kept a cool vibe next to Waterhouse. Our fashionable couple’s first date set the tone for a contemporary take on summer dressing and the perfect balance of ease and elegance.
Fashion insiders and journalists alike have commented on the changing tide of sneaker culture. As Lily Allen remarked,
“They look delicate next to the JD Sports treasures that I recently pulled out of my storage unit… but they’re very much still about freedom, which is what sneakers have always symbolised to me.”
The recent return of vintage sneaker designs seems to reflect a deeper change in fashion priorities. Others are still reluctant to go all-in on this new kind of paradigm shift. A contributor from Vogue stated,
“Though, I for one, have yet to embrace this shift.”
