STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Sneaks and Skirts

May 4th, 2016 at 2:05am

We are currently living in the golden age of the sneaker. No longer are sneakers regarded as just athletic wear or a walking shoe, but instead the must-wear piece to complete an outfit. Sneakers are an amazing piece to transform an outfit because they simultaneously make a look casual yet a little bit edgy and tomboy-chic. Whether you are a Vans girl, Nike addict, adidas lover, a classic Converse chick like this Fashionista or have one of everything like myself; your sneaker choice says something about you, so make a statement!

This Fashionista paired her white low-top Converse with a light wash denim A-line skirt with a button-up detail. With this she paired a simple black body suit with a daring low cut back. A suede black necklace with a layered choker and silver hardware topped off this look with a cool edge detail. Her sneakers give this outfit the perfect day-time look, but a quick swap of some booties or heels would make this look work for a night out as well!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Wear sneakers with outfits you wouldn’t ordinarily think to! I love wearing really feminine pieces like dresses and skirts––like the one I’m wearing here––and balancing it out with a pair of white Converse. Aside from the fact that it gives a total cool-girl not trying too hard vibe, it’s so nice to be able to wear comfortable shoes with a cute outfit to music festivals and other events like that in the summer!”
