Skirts and Sneakers
{how to pull of sneakers and skirts without looking frumpy}
So, last week we shared this article on our social media pages talking about how women use fashion to assert power. Of course, the topic of Texas Senator Wendy Davis’s sneakers came up in the article and intrigued us. How is that woman able to rock sneakers with her business suits? We have the scoop.
Get stylish sneakers. Because there are some shoes out there that may look and feel like your comfiest sneakers, yet are still totally stylish and classy. For example, these Pony Hair sneakers by Steve Madden or these Tory Burch Jessie Quilted Slip-on sneakers. And, what girl wouldn’t love these Burberry print sneakers?!
Stay neutral. While neon green sneakers are probably not a good idea when you’re wearing your dressy clothes, if you pick a pair of sneakers in a more neutral color, then you can easily make it work. Generally, wearing all-black or shades of grey/white/beige offers the perfect blank canvas to have some fun with your shoes (after all, you don’t want too much going on in one outfit!).
For example, these New Balance suede sneakers are super chic and we can totally see ourselves pairing them with a casual dress and a long sweater over the weekend. For a more New-England vibe, try these Sperry top-sider seacoast sneakers.
Know the occasion. With all due respect to Wendy Davis, there are just some occasions when you shouldn’t wear sneakers with your professional work clothes – think pretty much any time business professional attire is required. But, for more casual days, a skirt or cropped pant with sneakers may be just what you need this fall. At the very least, make your daily work commute comfy without fear of judgment for rocking sneakers with a skirt!
