Why sneakers are perfect for spring

Sneakers are great at any time of the year, but they can be especially fabulous in the spring months because:

They are comfortable. In spring you might want to get out and about more, making comfy shoes an essential.
Sneakers are versatile. Reebok Maison Margiela and other brands and styles from SSENSE look glorious with everything from summer dresses to jeans.
Sneakers can be lightweight and breathable, making them ideal in warmer weather.
They are easy to clean. You can wipe off any dirt quickly, and some are even machine washable.
There are sneakers for every budget. Whether you are in the market for designer shoes or shopping on the high street, you’ll find a range of sneakers to suit your budget.

Dress them up with a skirt or dress

Gone are the days when sneakers were only worn with jeans or shorts. One of the hottest fashion trends is pairing sneakers with a skirt or dress. It’s a perfect look for those who want to be comfortable yet stylish. A midi or maxi skirt with a pair of white sneakers can create an effortless yet chic look that is perfect for spring.

Athleisure

Athleisure is a trend that has been growing in popularity over the years. It involves mixing athletic wear with casual clothing to create a comfortable yet stylish outfit. Pairing a statement pair of sneakers with leggings and a loose-fit sweater is perfect for a casual day out, the school run, or running errands.

Remember, athleisure is all about comfort, so make sure your clothing and footwear are comfortable as well as stylish.

Bold colours

Spring is all about bright and bold colours, so why not incorporate that into your sneaker collection? Brightly coloured sneakers are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your outfit. If you are hesitant about bright colours, start with pastel-coloured sneakers, such as mint green or baby pink.

Wear them with basics and dark block colours to make an impression, or if you really want to make a statement, mix your colours and prints as much as possible.

Monochromatic outfits

Monochromatic outfits are a great way to make a fashion statement while keeping it simple. Pair your sneakers with a monochromatic outfit for a chic and put-together look. For example, a black and white trouser suit or dress with a pair of red sneakers will make you stand out from the crowd.

High-waisted jeans

High-waisted jeans are a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Pair your favourite sneakers with high-waisted jeans for a casual yet chic look. Add a crop top or graphic t-shirt for a casual look or dress your outfit up with an oversized blouse, tucked into your jeans and a stylish clutch bag.

Oversized blazers

Oversized blazers are a great way to make a statement and add sophistication to your outfit. Pair your favourite sneakers with an oversized blazer and jeans for a chic and trendy look. This look is perfect for both casual and formal occasions.

Prints

Prints are a great way to add a unique touch to your outfit. Pair your favourite printed skirt or pants with a simple top and sneakers for a chic and effortless look. Leopard print, floral, and plaid are all great options to consider.

Alternatively, if you’d prefer a subtler look, wear plain pants but accessorise with patterned bags and a statement pendant.
