Sneakers are not something I would have imagined myself talking about before I started this blog. If you have been following my blog, you must know how much I love my heels. Not like I am against sneakers/flats but I always go for heels first if I have a choice. Starting to wear sneakers again is a very recent thing. I used to wear sneakers everyday when I was in high school because any shoes with heels were not allowed to be part of my wardrobes. I remember that I spent lots of my high school years with all my dearly All-star Converse. Then my desire for sneakers started to fade away once I went to college because I finally got to wear whatever I want without needing my mom’s approval.

I know the first impression sneakers usually give is they are very casual and they are for workouts. It is true; however they have come a long way and have become part of the fashion trends. Because of the simplicity of sneakers, they can make your wardrobes into all different kinds of look – from sporty to sophisticated. Imagine on the weekend you have your day fully booked and you have couple places to go to, just one pair of sneakers can get you through the day without having to bring a second pair of shoes. You can do your morning workout in your sneakers with track pants and shirt; then you can change into skinny jeans and sweater to go with your sneakers for grocery shopping; and you can pair your sneakers with an A-line dress and leather jacket for coffee/lunch date with friends. They can be easily go with anything in your closet. Since sneakers look more casual and relaxed, you would try to not wear something too baggy or long at the bottom part to avoid looking “sloppy”.

The perfect thing about sneakers is that there is really no rules on how to wear your sneakers or what to wear them with. They are very low-maintenance yet cool and stylish fashion pieces. Another great thing is they are usually not overly expensive so you can really work them into your everyday outfit. Since I have started to wear my sneakers again, I have paired them a lot with my culottes to create the mix of trendy and classy look. I am looking forward to spending more time with my sneakers in Spring. I am sure you must have a pair or two in your closet, so take them out and make them into part of your stylish outfit!
