Neutral pieces in your closet are essential, but sometimes you need a fun pop of color or an interesting piece. Sneakers are a really easy way to add color and excitement to your outfit. Like a white sneaker, colorful sneakers can be super easy to style! The thing about a colorful sneaker that you want to keep in mind, is that you want the sneaker to be the hero piece of your outfit. Adding the colorful shoe should make your outfit better, not be over the top!
With a Black Dress
This is an outfit that you can wear from spring through the fall. I love how a black dress looks when paired with bright colors. The colors look brighter next to the black, and seeing a little skin around your ankle is really flattering and makes you look taller. The beauty of this look, is that you can wear any kind of black dress and it will work! If you are into shorter dresses (or even rompers), wearing a sneaker looks laid back and casual. A black flowy midi or maxi also looks really chic if you knot it up and show off your shoes. This is how I would style sneakers for an elevated everyday look. You can wear this day to night and look really put together, effortless, and cool.
Street Style Inspo:
Jeans + Solid Colored Top
The easiest formula for this look would be jeans and a white top. I say top because this outfit can be worn in any kind of weather (besides snow). You can trade out the top from a tank, to a tee, to a sweater. A white top is a really simple way to put this look together without worrying about the colors in the sneaker clashing with a top. Plus, a white tee and jeans is a really classic look that will always look chic. Another simple option would be a solid black top. A similar idea to the black dress but more casual. I also love the idea of incorporating a color from the sneakers into your top. So, if your sneakers have blues and greens, a blue
, green, or teal top would match and look good. This is an everyday look that will always look amazing!
Street Style Inspo:
Monochrome
You can really never go wrong wearing a monochrome look with a colorful sneaker. Wearing all black makes your shoes really pop. Black is also always slimming, and great for any season. I also really love the idea of wearing all white with a color on the shoe. This is a look that is probably best for summer, but would look really good. Creating a column of color makes you look taller, and no matter where you're going you look chic and classy. Wearing a monochrome top and bottom, also allow you to wear any color jacket or sweater on top to complete your look without having too many colors going on. Such an easy look, and makes you feel incredibly stylish!
Street Style Inspo:
Leggings + A Sweater
This is the perfect casual, cozy, weekend look. This is where, if you're feeling bold, you can try a sweater with a pattern or colors, as long as it coordinates and somewhat goes with the colors in the sneakers. For this look, I recommend a sweater that is a little oversized. The tightness of the leggings and the oversized look of the sweater balances each other out, and makes you look French Chic. This outfit is perfect for running errands, hanging out with friends, or meeting a friend for a casual brunch. Such a comfy and cozy outfit that you can feel really good in all day long!
Street Style Inspo:
With A Matching Set
There are so many matching sets out there that are totally acceptable to wear out of the house. An easy way to make a matching set feel like a stylish outfit is with a cute pair of sneakers. The colors in the sneakers will make the set look more cohesive. This is a great look for days you want to look put together but comfortable. This is a perfect fall outfit- a matching set in a neutral color, your favorite colorful sneakers, and an oversized leather jacket. Casual, cool, and super edgy.
