STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Sneaker It Up

Hey! This is my first article on CollegeFashionista and I am so excited to bring you the latest fashion from my campus this semester. Now that college is in full swing, I start walking a lot more than I’m used to. This means I can’t wear my cute high-heeled booties to class everyday because that would be torture for my feet. But today we must pause and take time to thank the fashion gods because we are living in a remarkable moment when sneakers are on-trend!

The sporty trend has been on the rise for several years now. Some people are totally for it and others will add just a hint of sport into their look. Converse, Nike Free Runs and the adidas Originals Stan Smith sneakers are all over fashion blogs. Sneakers are being paired with not only leggings but with jeans, dresses and skirts! Two years ago, I would have never thought or have wanted to use my running sneakers as a fashion statement.

That is why I fell in love with this Fashionista’s style! She took a printed romper and instead of wearing it with sandals, she melded the feminine look with white adidas sneakers. It is remarkable how an outfit can go from girly to sporty with a change of shoes. Her half topknot look is also on-trend and adds a casual feel to the outfit. The black cross-body bag does not take attention away from her romper and is the perfect size for a night out.

The sneaker trend has been evident all summer long but will definitely transition into the fall with joggers, jeans and maxi dresses. Say bye-bye to blisters and hello to sporty-chic!
