Of sneakers that you're teaming with Some of your looks and a platform or a Wedge style sneaker is definitely going To help you so these days sneakers are Definitely office appropriate obviously It's going to depend on what sort of Office you work in and only you will Know that but certainly you can create a Very stylish professional look with Sneakers what I do tend to advise is to Keep it classic stick with a really Simple classic sneaker if you're teaming It with a corporate style suit and use Accessories like a handbag sunglasses or A beautiful Chanel style Blazer to add That bit of interest and texture to an Outfit but otherwise I would say keep Your sneakers fairly clean and minimal And clean reminds me that your sneakers That you're wearing outside and they've Kind of had a little bit of wear and Tear they're not the sneakers that you Can Style with most of these outfits Keep them for at home or just wearing With your active wear but when I am Talking about styling sneakers with Everyday outfits to create a a little Bit of of a stylish look you do need to Make sure that you keep those sneakers Nice and clean and when it comes It comes my casual look it does take a Little bit of experimentation so it Might mean that you need to put aside an Hour on the weekend and try a few of
Your different outfits on and a few of Your different trainers on with them or What I do often say too is do a little Bit bit of research whip onto Pinterest Whip online find some sneaker styles That you really like use those as Inspiration and see what outfits that You could create from your own wardrobe And which sneakers are going to work Best for you it is all about finding the Right sneaker style that really suits Your style that sometimes takes a bit of Experimentation and if you don't want to Go out and buy sneakers to try on first Then what I would suggest is doing that Little bit of research and trying to Maybe even put together a mood board Coming up with some sneaker styles that You know are going to work for you and When it comes to formal events sneakers Definitely have a place now that I'm not Going to be right for everyone and they Do require a little bit of something Extra when it comes to styling sneakers And I've even seen some beautiful Brides Wearing sneakers Bridesmaids and guests wedding guests Wearing sneakers but I do think you have To be a little careful with how you do That the best and easiest way to do it Is wearing sneakers teamed with maxi Dresses because you generally only sort Of see a little bit of a hint of them But when you think about it sneakers are
Probably the most practical Footwear for A bride to wear or for even a guest a Wedding guest to wear when you are Standing around on your feet for hours You dance the night away sneakers Definitely are a good option what I do Suggest though is opting for a maxi Style dress and a very understated Sneaker that's probably the only way You're going to get away with it and Also think about your accessories as Being a little bit more upscure sales so Whether you wear a beautiful sequined Dress and a fur or faux fur jacket or Coat then you can have sort of sneakers It's really about balancing that high Low look so that your sneakers look Intentional they're an intentional part Of your outfit and creating an outfit That does have that real sort of high Low with sequins or fur or A very Upscale dress or outfit and team them Back with sneakers it's intentional it's Making a style statement so think about How you're teaming those pieces together To create a high low outfit which is in My opinion the best way of doing it now I just wanted to touch on some of the Key sneaker outfits that are very much a Happening thing for this year now not so Long ago the sneaker style was to wear Sort of dad style chunky trainers with Sundresses and summer frocks and Maxis But but what seems to have happened this
Year is that those sneakers appeared Being paired back and we're seeing more Pretty floaty summer dresses worn back With more of a classic simple sneaker Obviously it depends on your personal Style but in terms of Trends this is Very much The Happening look for spring Summer this year so anything that's Really pretty and floaty is definitely Being teamed back with a more Sleek Classic simple style sneaker as opposed To what we saw last year which was that Really chunky dad style and because Because we're still seeing a huge focus On neutrals and monochrome neutral Outfits this is the time to let your Colorful vibrant beautiful bold sneakers Shine because this is when they will Shine with a pop of color a beautiful Bold sneaker is really going to have its Moment when it's teamed back with a Neutral outfit and certainly any neutral Styling will give you that ability just To create a statement with your sneakers So if you are into bright colored Sneakers which I am from time to time a Great way to style those and incorporate Them into your outfits is with Monochrome or certainly beige toned Neutrals it really does just let the Sneaker do all the talking and with These outfits that's where a small Accessory in the same color whether it's A case of iPhone case or a scarf really
Just creates that cohesion with the Outfit or otherwise you can simply stick With a neutral outfit and let your Sneakers do all the Talking another way To wear sneakers with dresses and skirts Is to show a little bit of sock now in The past socks have all been kind of No-show and needing to be hidden and That's often been tricky but now there's A real trend for actually showing the Socks that you're wearing but a little Bit of a word of warning like I did Mention earlier is just be really Careful where those socks finish and Certainly you don't want to break up Your leg in too many parts they will Look great with a maxi style skirt and If you have Super great legs they'll work with a Mini skirt but again it's up to you with Your styling and what you like the look Of but socks are great there are also Some really cool socks as well so some Sparkly socks that can work well with Just simple classic white sneakers but Socks are definitely here and making a Comeback as well so think about teaming Some of your favorite sneakers and and Socks with some of your favorite dresses But just be aware of where those socks End you don't want to highlight the Widest part of your calf or where your Ankle starts to widen out so just think About that but socks are a great way of
Adding some interest and using the socks To actually style and create a a lovely Outfit and obviously baggy style jeans Are very much a happening look for this Year and what I do recommend when it Comes to styling sneakers with baggy Style jeans is to opt for a sleeker Style sneaker when you try and team a Sort of a chunky lug style or dead style Type sneaker with these more voluminous Denim jeans what you do run the risk of Is creating an outfit that's just quite Bottom heavy so to get around this just Opt for more of a sleeker style sneaker Sleeker steep sneaker tongue twister and When it comes to retro sneakers you can Wear them with more sort of preppy retro Style outfits but the sort of fresher More modern way to to wear them is to Team them with more sort of polished Outfits so baggy man style trousers and Really sort of polished more structured Pieces or tailored pieces I should say I Think the juxtaposition of the retro Sneakers worn with more sort of tailored Pieces Just creates a little bit more of A modern fresh look so think about this As well now that you're across all of The key sneaker trains and how to wear Them then you might like to know which Fall fashion trends are heading our way Real soon so click or tap on the screen Here and I'll see you there
