THE PANEL:

Alissa Thomas (CLEO’s fashion director): “The other day, I announced to all of my colleagues that summer 2016 will mark the start of me wearing trainers with everything at all times. I’ve since been investing in every kind of street-sport shoe, skipping and jumping everywhere over the recurrence of this ’90s trend. If anyone has a problem with my brand-new look, take it up with my cool-kicks kweens, Lily, Kendall and Kylie.”

Kyly Clarke

Kyly Clarke (TV personality and founder of Lyfestyled): “Yes, I’m loving the reinvention of taking casual to a sophisticated level and bringing comfort back – but if you get it wrong by under-dressing your outfit with the wrong sneaker, you could be wasting your fashion power. I’m not sure that Adriana Lima should be donning sneakers with such an elegant gown, but Lily Aldridge has pulled off the look with a simple dress. Kylie Jenner gets top points for rocking her kicks with a sophisticated tunic and some pretty banging sunglasses.”

Olivia Phyland

Olivia Phyland (Co-host of The Loop): “This new trend is right up my alley. I’m not a huge fan of high heels and I like to live in my activewear; you want to always be comfy in case you ever get the urge to bust out an impromptu dance move. But while I’m fan-girling hard on the trend, Rita Ora is not winning me over.”
