There's nothing that adds an effortlessly cool touch to your look quite like a pair of sneakers. Sneakers are something I've come to rely upon as a solid and versatile shoe option for summer, balancing comfort and style—they're the ideal option when you're walking long distances or on your feet most of the day (no blisters from sandal straps in sight!). There are plenty of cool sneaker trends that are dominating right now—from the perennially favorite retro styles, to rich-looking suede fabrics, and soft minimalist thin soles—there's something for every taste and budget. Whether you're exploring the city or enjoying a casual day out, try pairing your sneakers with breathable summer pieces like breezy dresses, tailored shorts, and linen pants to tackle the heat in style.
To get inspired, below, I'm sharing seven fresh summer sneakers outfits I can't wait to copy for myself this warm-weather season. They're guaranteed to add a fresh, sporty, and fashion-forward touch to your summer looks.
