These Are the Most Popular Sneaker Styles
Over the past few years, sneakers have become quite the mainstay in all of our wardrobes. While you might be just a casual dabbler in the athletic-inspired trend, there’s no denying the power of this fashion-girl essential. That is, of course, because we’re finding it hard to come across a look that doesn’t look better with sneakers. Denim? Check. Miniskirts? Check. Silk midis and cocktail dresses? Check and check.
Sneakers are one of the ultimate wardrobe must-haves, especially as we enter fall. While summers are rife with the sporty kicks, come autumn, we’re ditching our sandals, not quite ready for full-blown boots, and reliant on these athletic-inspired shoes more than ever. Though we might not be slipping into sneakers for that black-tie party, we’ve found ways to wear the fashion-girl essential nearly everywhere else.
For a little outfit inspiration on how to style the most popular sneakers of the season, we’ve turned to the ultimate street style stars and looks they rock with ease on the regular. Find all our favorite fall trends here and see exactly how we’re going to be wearing them come colder weather.
