ALL IN THE DETAILS: Chicks In Kicks

Women are storming the sneaker industry with kicks so sick, they would make the most pious sneaker lover turn his head.

The sneaker industry is a traditionally male dominated market, but in recent years, women have been incorporating this sporty-chic staple into their wardrobe. These women are knowledgeable on the hottest sneakers, both past and present, and are waiting in line for hours right alongside the guys for the newest shoe to hit the stores.

Sports and comfort aren’t the only reasons why women are lacing up and stepping out. Street wear fashion has made this look fashionable to even the most sophisticated Fashionista. You don’t have to trade in your heels for a pair of Jordans; showcase your wardrobe’s diversity by opting for a shoe that ties up instead of slips on.

Sneakers can be so versatile that you can wear a pair with a skirt or dress and add a bit of edge to your outfit without losing the feminine air. You can also take a more relaxed approach, and rock your kicks with a pair of chic pants like this Temple Fashionista did.

Statement shoes are a staple on the runway this season, so why not take a different approach and incorporate a tight kick to elevate your style to the next level? Guys, move aside and make room for a new era of women sneakerheads. Just please don’t step on their shoes!

How To: Not sure how to incorporate a pair of sneakers into your wardrobe? Start off by pairing your shoes with other causal pieces in your wardrobe, such as jeans or shorts. Another stylish idea is coordinating your sneaker color with another one of your accessories; this will create an eye-catching look. Also, try choosing a shoe with a vibrant color or daring print, but but keep the rest of your outfit simple. Your feet will be the star of your ensemble.
