Sam Smith took the Canadian tuxedo for a romantic stroll this week.

While strolling with boyfriend Christian Cowan on Sunday afternoon, Smith wore a double-denim outfit. The Grammy Award-winning musician’s ensemble consisted of a light-wash blue trucker jacket, paired with complementary jeans with cuffed hems. Layered beneath their outfit was a knit polo shirt with a black and white checkerboard pattern, complete with a green button tab and black collar.

Smith finished their attire with a burnished brown leather crossbody bag and large orange-framed sunglasses, as well as small mismatched pearl and crystal drop earrings. Cowan was sportily outfitted for the occasion in a white sweatshirt, carpenter pants and black hoodie, paired with worn-in sneakers.

When it came to footwear, Smith opted to lace into a pair of unisex Reebok sneakers. Their $100 Classic Leather 1983 Vintage style featured nylon-lined white and navy blue leather uppers with a lace-up front. Giving the pair added ’80s flair were vintage terry lining and buffed midsoles, complete with logo-printed tongues. The style was finished with lightly ridged black rubber outsoles for added traction, providing a sporty base for Smith’s off-duty outfit.
