The cool sneaker is no longer just for lounge wear and comfies. Sneaker style has really evolved and taken over any high heel purchases we once made. Styling the comfortable shoe into a cool street style vibe, business casual or even with an elevated dress or suit is happening…even in the workplace!
How to incorporate the Sneaker Trend into your wardrobe
You may be thinking, I like the idea of a sneaker style but how do I incorporate that look into my personal wardrobe and get it right?
- Find a brand & style you love within your budget
- Try them on
- Keep it simple
A few tips, find yourself a brand & style that you love and make sure the style falls within your budget. I say budget because cool sneakers are ranging from the basic converse at $70 all the way up to designer, starting at $700! There is a big range in price points for these looks, which is great because everyone has the opportunity to create sneaker style outfits without breaking the budget.
For my personal style, I just can’t do the chunky sneaker, sometimes called the ‘dad’ sneaker. I prefer a street style look, effortless like I’m not trying too hard but still speak fashion. I also don’t love a lot of branding on the shoes, which designers often do, keep it simple.
Here are some of my favourite brands:
Converse – I like the low & high tops as well as the platform sole
Vans – basic old skool style, or fun prints & platform sole options
Here are my pinterest picks for sneaker outfits
Pinterest is a great place to find some inspiration or where you can find looks to copy.
