The older I get, the more I find myself ditching my high heels in favor of more comfortable shoes – because of this, my sneaker collection has grown quite a bit in the last few years! Thankfully, the athleisure trend is still going strong & there are plenty of ways to make sneakers look stylish when you choose the right combination of pieces from your closet.
Below I’ve rounded up some of my top affordable sneaker picks for the coming season in neutrals, cool textures & pretty spring hues. And to help get your creative juices flowing, I’m also sharing a few ways to wear them – of course, sneakers are easy to throw on with leggings & cardigans, joggers & tees and comfy knit dresses. But they also take on a cool modern vibe when you pair them with feminine styles or sophisticated staples. Here are a few examples:
ONE: Moto Jacket // White Tee // Printed Midi Skirt (love this one too)
TWO: Denim Jacket (another option here) // Floral Print Dress
THREE: Trench Coat // Striped Sweater // Faux Leather Leggings
FOUR: Plaid Blazer // Lace-Trim Camisole // Skinny Jeans
I like to follow the rule of adding one structured piece to each outfit to give the whole look a more polished feel. Try wearing your favorite dress but swapping out your heels for sneakers. Or take that blazer that you usually wear to the office & dress it down with denim & a casual pair of Converse. For those looking to up their sneaker game, here are some under $50 options worth checking out:
ROW 1: ONE // TWO // THREE (another option here)
ROW 2: ONE (in 5 colors) // TWO // THREE (also in black)
ROW 3: ONE // TWO (also in black) // THREE (another option here)
ROW 4: ONE // TWO (more sizes here) // THREE (in 5 colors)
