Low-profile, slim sneakers from brands like Puma and Adidas have been gradually replacing chunkier styles for a few seasons now, with 2025 undoubtedly being their biggest year yet. But how do you style them right now so that they feel fresh and not overdone? Gracie Abrams just answered that question, doing so in elite style. The "I Love You, I'm Sorry" singer was spotted out and about in New York City with friends wearing the popular sneaker style—particularly brown, suede Puma Speedcasts—in this year's most relevant way: worn with low and loose jeans. The denim shape perfectly settles over the slim shoe shape, just letting the almond toe peek through in a cool, effortless way. She added a three-quarter sleeve, boat-neck tee in black and Chanel's chocolate-brown suede 25 bag, which the brand ambassador has been carrying for a while now.

Sure, you can wear skinny, slim-straight, or high-waisted jeans with low-profile sneakers, but styling them with low and loose jeans just clicks best with today's trends. The combination gives a true lived-in quality that off-duty girls prefer to super clean-cut denim outfits. Abrams' decision to pair the jeans-and-sneaker duo with a luxury bag like Chanel's 25 silhouette added the perfect contrast of high and low, while simultaneously making suede a throughline in the look. Like her music, her outfits never miss, on and off the stage.
