If you spent literally 10 minutes reading about shoe trends sometime during the last year, you're probably well aware of the fact that slim-fit sneakers were 2025's top performer.

Retro-inspired sneakers dominated the footwear category, with several must-have iterations from brands like Puma, New Balance, Adidas, and beyond. And if you're one of the many who invested in this buzzy sneaker trend, you can breathe a sigh of relief, because they're not going anywhere soon.

On Dec. 28, Sofia Richie Grainge stepped out for a quick ice cream run in Montecito, CA, while out with her husband Elliot Grainge and daughter Eloise. The model embodied the standard week-after-Christmas-vibes in a decidedly laid-back outfit.

Like Selena Gomez, who wore a similar outfit one day prior, Richie Grainge sported plain black lounge pants. However, she went for a flared version straight out of my own high school wardrobe. The star revived 2010s-era yoga pants, styling them with a matching black tee and a sporty, ribbed varsity jacket in cream.

The glowing mom-to-be Sofia Richie, husband Elliot Grainge, and their adorable daughter Eloise share a delightful treat at Rori's Ice Cream in the upscale beach town of Montecito, CA—celebrating their new life following the purchase of a luxurious $10 million mansion.

Where Gomez reached for four-figure shearling slippers, Richie Grainge's lazy day ensemble included a pair of trendy suede sneakers from Antonio Melani. The $140 pair boasted 2025's popular narrow silhouette in a modern fabrication that's perfect for mild California winters.

Get a jump on what will surely be one of 2026's biggest shoe trends, right ahead, with suede styles inspired by Richie Grainge.
