How to wear sneakers
Wearing:

Givenchy ‘Antigona’ bag
Cluses Watch
Porter Lyons ID Bracelet
Whereas this time last year, the sneaker still connoted a certain frump-factor, the tables have well and truly turned – a small victory for the tomboy camp, which would rather just be comfortable – now the most coveted shoes of the day are from the activewear isle.
How to wear sneakers? This shoe’s true charm is that subtle out-of-place-ness with the rest of your outfit; that juxtaposition that takes the outfit to another level of cool. Therefore, my key principle is to absolutely wear sneakers with any pieces that by all accounts should be worn with heels – though it might sounds a bit loopy, trust me on this. Pencil skirts, coctail dresses, skinny jeans and tailored trousers all get the sneaker appropriate tick from me.
Of course, proportions are everything when wearing flat shoes. Therefore, elongate the leg by showing the ankles or wearing the most flattering pair of skin tight jeans. Here I’m wearing my Senso Avery III sneakers with a perfectly fitting pair of coated jeans from Picnic Clothing, topped off with an oversized blazer (from this year’s H&M Studio Collection AW2015).

Such a genius rule about wearing sneakers with anything that “should” be worn with heels! Definitely a great way of thinking about it

Oh I’m so glad you liked my tip. Seriously though, works every time!
Nice sneakers! I might be in the girly high-heel camp, but I still strongly appreciate a comfy sleak pair of trainers 🙂

I’m definitely up for girly high-heels too!
Absolutely love how effortlessly cool this look is! Such good advice, and I’m also loving the little bit of feminine lace peeking through your blazer <3
Love, Adela xx
Aw thanks so much! Am I a little bit indecent for always flashing my bra? haha
I’d usually be scared to add sneakers to my wardrobe but I’m definitely embracing them these days! It’s so fun to pair them with something you traditionally wouldn’t. Love this outfit, the perfect amount of cool 😉

You always do sneakers so well. I feel like I look about 15 when I wear sneakers, so I definitely need to take some style tips from you. In fact, I think it’s time to update my old (not-so) white Converse sneakers with something a little more chic like these ones!
