From Adidas and Nike to Dries Van Noten and Prada sneakers, here are nine sneaker outfits that prove the comfortable shoe can be worn all spring & summer.
Nothing screams comfort quite like a sneaker. And yet, being comfortably dressed doesn’t have to imply underdressed. If anything, our favorite sneakers can be worn for much more than a post-reformer class stroll. You can thank brands like Adidas, Nike, and Puma for pushing the off-duty sneaker into greater realms—and celebrity It girls, like Emily Ratajkowski and Bella Hadid for cementing it as a bonafide style symbol.
As for how to make the summer sneaker your own? There are plenty of ways to unify taste and solid arch support. A scarf-print dress mini dress from Dôen looks unexpectedly en vogue when complemented by a pair of brown Puma Speedcats. Want to play with a more boyish touch of sport? A lightweight bomber jacket and short pleated shorts go hand in hand with Dries Van Noten’s lavender trainers. There’s a sneaker outfit for the work week, too—just pair a ribbed polo and trousers with Le Monde Béryl’s neutral-colored sneakers together. And there’s more where that came from. Ahead, nine summer sneaker outfits, for the office, the weekend, and beyond.
A slim knit from Banana Republic, wide-leg pleated pants from newcomer Ssstein, and a pair of low profile kicks from Le Monde Béryl easily move from off-duty to workwear—just add a jacket if you’re feeling chilly.
