How to Wear Sneakers and Still Look Cute

I never thought I would wear a pair of sneakers outside of the gym, but now that it’s become trendy it makes sense, particularly for me and my troubled feet. If you’ve read this blog for a while, or know me in real life, you may be aware of my feet issues and how I never wear uncomfortable shoes. So when the tennis shoe became the “it” thing, I was determined to work them into my wardrobe.

My Sneaker Wearing History

I’ve worn sneakers before but not very often and certainly not for the sake of style, unless you count my pink Converse sneakers in junior high. As a young girl, I wore white Keds every spring and begged for a pair of saddle oxfords in my preteens. Other than that—nadda!

Fast-forward to present day, and there are a plethora of tennis shoe options, many of which are very cute!

Sneaker 101 Dilemmas

First, let’s address the elephant in the room.

Dilemma #1: finding the right pair. You may ask yourself, “Isn’t a sneaker just a sneaker?” Not exactly. While you could grab your workout shoes and pair them with your outfit (aka “athleisure”), it’s won’t give you the same aesthetic I’m sharing in today’s post.

The Superga sneaker offers a classic brand and look. They are incredibly comfortable and super cute! I love their slim appearance and appreciate that they come in a handful of neutral colors and prints. They run a bit wide, so if your foot tends to be narrow, you may opt for a similar style by a different brand.

Dilemma #2: incorporating them into your wardrobe. This can be tricky, but once you’ve mastered my tried and true tips, you’ll wonder why you didn’t wear them sooner.
