Dana | A Casual Work Look With Sneakers
A monochromatic look always looks effortless and pulled together. Staple pieces like a black cashmere sweater and premium denim paired with a sneaker is an easy yet stylish way to approach dressing for work.

Katey | How To Style Sneakers With A Sport Coat
It’s more and more common to see jeans in the workplace, especially when paired with a sportcoat. Sneakers are an unexpected shoe choice for a lot of our guys, but there’s a way to do it and still look professional. Choose a sharp dress sneaker and make sure to keep them looking fresh between wears. I love the way the sole on this sneaker ties into the belt, and how the primary color of the sneaker matches the shirt underneath the jacket.

Katie | Styling Sneakers With A Suit
Yes! You absolutely can wear sneakers with a suit for the office — when done right, it creates a polished, modern look with a laid-back twist. I paired a tailored navy suit with a high-end white long sleeve tee for an effortlessly elevated vibe, finishing the look with crisp white leather sneakers. The clean, minimal design of the sneakers keeps the outfit professional, while cool sunglasses and a luxury watch with navy accents add just the right touch of sophistication. It’s a fresh, confident way to embrace business casual without sacrificing style.
