4 Ways To Rock Your Retro Sneakers This Season

For years, retro sneakers have reigned supreme in the footwear world. From the Adidas Samba to the more recent rise of the Puma Speedcat, these nostalgic shoes have provided us with plenty of volume and color. While these footwear options have become more popular, the bright colors and bold prints can make them a headache to style. Despite this, retro sneakers remain a favorite among the trendsetters and for good reason. Here are four ways our favorite trendsetters are styling and rocking their retro sneakers for an ultra fashionable look that’ll work from this season and beyond. 

With Suits and Trousers

While wearing suits and sneakers might seem far-fetched and out of sorts, it’s the perfect combination to show off your fashion skills. For those looking for an easy pairing, these two seem to always work. The seriousness of a suit or trousers with the casual, laidback energy of the sneaker is a pair that’s unexpected yet charming. Bonus points if you pair a neutral suit with a strong pop of color. 

With a Slip Skirt

Like the previous example, this pair is a juxtaposition that simply works. Blending the femininity of a slip skirt with the more structured and masculine energy of a sneaker is a fun mix that is a go-to for any fashionista. This pair also makes it easier to either dress up or down your outfit, depending on the type of top you choose to finish off your look. 

 

As a Pop of Color

No matter the bottom or top you choose, a retro sneaker can play an important role in any look. Whether you go for a monochromatic fit or a subdued color palette, retro sneakers tend to add a bright and bold pop of color to any look. Embrace this trend to the fullest with the help of a statement sneaker that’ll make your outfit stand out from the rest. 

 

With an Athleisure Set

Because sneakers have a casual look to them, it’s an easy way to spice up your everyday looks. When it comes to retro sneakers like New Balance or Reebok, these sneakers also have a hint of athletic style to them. Lean into this athleticism with a chic athleisure set that’ll make every look cohesive and intentional. Elevate the look with a simple blazer and baseball cap for an everyday look that’s comfortable yet stylish.
