New Style Idea

Jennifer Garner is known for her comfy-meets-cute style, which she showed while at a school beach party with her children in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The actress wore a lightweight, pale blue sweater for the occasion, which she layered over a white T-shirt. Paired with blue-and-white striped drawstring pants, the outfit had a distinctly nautical style that was perfect for a day at the beach. Garner accessorized with black sunglasses to ward off the sun, as well as a gray face mask when needed.

For footwear, the “13 Going On 30” star wore a sweet pair of leather slide sandals. Featuring light brown leather straps in wavy scalloped shapes, the shoes seemed to mimic waves — a clean complement to the rest of Garner’s look. They were also ideal for showing off her bright red pedicure.

Comfortable sandals with stylish details are on the rise for summer ’21. Garner’s fit into her approachable and relaxed “cool mom style,” which often includes flip flops, clean white slip-on sneakers and running sneakers by Brooks. Styles featuring toe rings, buckles and thong straps have also been seen on stars like Gal Gadot, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Katie Holmes in recent weeks.

Last month, Garner was seen in a more colorful version of her sweater-and-jeans uniform. The actress wore a multicolored striped sweater with her go-to straight-leg jeans, plus a pair of gray and blue Brooks Levitate 3 Running Shoes that are currently marked down to $99 from $120 on Dsw.com.

Garner has been regularly spotted in other models from Brooks as well, including Brooks’ Levitate 4 Road sneakers. In March, the actress also  wore them with a green T-shirt and another pair of blue straight-leg jeans.
