I love the sneaker trend. I mean, what woman doesn’t want comfy shoes to be all the rage? Even as a fashion obsessed person, I have wondered how to wear the sneaker trend. Somehow it seems like a cool girl look I cannot quite achieve, so I did some research (aka Pinterest searching). Thankfully KicksUSA gave me the opportunity to test my theories with these awesome floral Nike sneakers. I mean, how cool are they?! I’d been wanting a pair of Adidas, but when I saw these I knew they were the ones. KicksUSA has a great selection (men’s and kid’s included). They are also giving my readers a 10% discount. Just use the code “STRAIGHTASTYLE2016” at checkout. It seems like these never go on sale, so this is a great chance to snag a fun pair to try the trend or a new workout pair. Here are some easy tips on how to wear the sneaker trend.
- Don’t over think it. Add sneakers to any outfit without worrying whether or not they “go.” Part of the trend is that people are wearing them with everything. I had to remind myself of this.
- The majority of times I have seen sneakers done well, the outfit itself isn’t over the top. Think basic items with the fashionable part being the shoes.
- Do the unexpected. My personal favorite way to style sneakers is with a dress or skirt. It’s the opposite pairing of casual and dressy that makes it cool.
- The “stylish” sneakers seem to have some white coloring and the more flat, skater look. I’m linking some great options below. Stay away from styling your running sneakers this way, and buy a pair purposely for casual wear.
P.S. This polka dot dress is so perfect for summer and only $22. I love the shoulder tie detail. Also, I grabbed these white sunnies for $5 on a whim, and I think I regret it. Nothing like blog pictures to let you know whether or not you made the right style decision.

Firstly I love the monochrome spotted dress! It’s stunning. I rarely wear trainers as I’m less than average size 😉 however these really do suit you nicely!

I love rocking sneakers with any outfit, especially a dress as you mentioned. This is a great combination and I do like those sunnies! You can also never go wrong with some white Chuck Taylors – they tend to match any outfit!

For so many years I was taught that you had to wear sneakers with jeans and shorts. I also love mine the best with a dress or skirt. Love the way you styled these!

I think it’s fun rocking a dressy outfit with casual sneakers, too!! I wore a floral print two-piece with a cropped tank and skirt bottom, then I paired it with mint green sneakers. The post is here, but I think yo may have seen it before! :o)
