How To Wear Sneakers For Summer

May 27, 2022 By sara-elizabeth 2 Comments

You guys know we love sneakers.  White, patterned, neutral, brightly colored…  We love them all!  And we don’t just love them in the cooler months.  We love them year round.  Summer is definitely the season for sandals, but don’t forget that you can wear your sneakers through the summer too.  Let’s take a look at how to wear sneakers for summer!

Before we start talking looks for summer sneaker looks, a couple of things.  A word on purchasing sneakers.  First and foremost, if you aren’t currently a sneaker person, it’s time to become one!  Because this trend doesn’t seem to be doing anywhere.  If you find yourself wanting to purchase your first pair of sneakers, we always recommend starting with a crisp white pair.  They literally go with everything!  Including black, which we have mentioned before….  We love the pop of a white sneaker against a dark color.

Another pro tip…  If you choose to wear socks with your sneakers for comfort reasons, that is SO fine.  Just make sure they are very low cut to where you cannot see the sock.  Lastly, there are many You Tube Videos out there on this…  But make sure you pay attention to the laces on your sneakers.  You can really elevate your sneaker look by styling your laces.  Examples of this are below!

 

How To Wear Sneakers For Summer ~ With Shorts

One of the most obvious ways to enjoy your sneakers during the summer is with shorts.  Solid colored, patterned, denim, and even athletic…  They all work!  Adding some fun sneakers to your shorts look is not only a great way to look super cute…  But you can also be functional and active, which is really helpful with all of the outdoor get togethers we all tend to have during the summer months.

~With A Skirt~

It is also fun to think “outside of the box” when styling your sneakers in the summer.  One more creative way to enjoy your sneakers is with your favorite skirt.  Changing your shoes from sandals to sneakers gives a very different vibe with your skirt, as you can see here!  It’s a little more of a casual and whimsical look!

~With A Dress~

Similar to our comments on wearing sneakers with a skirt, there is something so unexpected and sporty about wearing sneakers with a dress!  Whether the dress is short or long, we absolutely love throwing on a pair of fun sneakers with it.  Just make sure your dress hits above your ankle bone when wearing sneakers with it, and you are good to go!

    Style has been around since 2017 as my daughter encouraged me to get a pair back then. But it took me a while to climb onto the bandwagon. My first pair was striped Adidas but now I need a solid white pair for skirts and sundresses. Let me know your favorite brands. I’m looking at ABLE’s as I like to support women-owned and social Justice-type brands. (Buy local is my motto too?)

      So fun! We love ABLE but haven’t seen their sneakers yet. I bet they are great! We also love the adidas ones. Madewell makes a great one, as does the brand Veja and P448. SO many good ones out there right now!
