There’s nothing inherently wrong with a pair of\u00a0square-toe\u00a0pumps or heeled booties or even some strappy night-out sandals\u2014they’re\u00a0chic. However, if you find yourself more often than not eschewing the above and reaching for your favorite\u00a0comfortable kicks\u00a0instead, you’ll be pleased to know you’re not alone in your quest for well-supported arches and versatile footwear. Thanks to the spike in athleisure-related trends over the last several years and tons of designers creating everyday iterations of trainers, wearing sneakers in all scenarios is, in fact, rather feasible.<\/p>\n
Keeping this in mind plus your affinity for all things sneakers, here is a list of six essentials you should keep stocked in your wardrobe that pair seamlessly with kicks. From the perfect dress length to a timeless top you most likely already own, read on for what to wear with\u00a0sneakers.<\/p>\n
Midi dress<\/strong>: If the idea of a stylish outfit in less than 30 seconds sounds appealing to you (how could it not?), look no further than a midi dress and sneakers. Together, the two are polished and comfortable, and the possibilities are in large supply. For example, a classic summer go-to is a floral dress with white kicks. Also, a bright-colored dress will go well with a pair of crisp white sneakers. Or, a surefire way to get away with print-mixing is by anchoring your look in a pair of solid white sneakers.<\/p>\n Suit:<\/strong> Suiting is the best go-to when you want to feel put together without all the stress of figuring out if your outfit matches. If you’ve yet to try your hand in the sartorial world, ease into things by pairing your matching blazer and slacks with a pair of laid-back sneakers. The overall look is well-balanced and looks even cooler when worn with a relaxed T-shirt underneath. Plus, sporty as sneakers may be, the uncommon styling trick adds a bit of feminine flair to a masculine suit.<\/p>\n Classic white shirt:<\/strong> The only thing better than one classic item is two classic items masterfully styled together, which is why a timeless white button-down and sneakers is\u00a0the duo that keeps on giving.<\/p>\n Straight-leg jeans:<\/strong> Though just about any pair of jeans can be successfully styled with sneakers, the straight silhouette is best teamed with trainers. Add a bright sweater up top for a fun finish.\u00a0 With skinny jeans and a white tee, opt for a pair of sneakers that may not be a bright color, but definitely stands out from the crowd. Look for a pair with an unexpected element like a bright stripe or metallic leather.<\/p>\n Athleisure:<\/strong> If you’re a sneaker fan, then you probably also have an affinity for athleisure in general, which is why including another active piece or two in your look isn’t a bad idea\u2014think ribbed socks or sporty shorts. Just remember: If you’re not heading to the gym, be sure to include a\u00a0non-athleisure piece in the look so it feels complete. Dress up your cashmere sweatpants with a leather biker jacket and sneakers, which is a great look for traveling and casual days.<\/p>\n\r\n
