How to Wear Sneakers to Work
In the not so distant past wearing sneakers to work was reserved for casual Friday’s only. I was all to excited when my corporate job decided to relax the dress code so that we could wear jeans and sneakers all week. Nowadays more and more office wear are resorting to sneakers for comfy chic office attire. It’s not uncommon to see athletic sneakers paired with the most sophisticated tailored looks. Depending on where you work and your position, you can still rock sneakers in a polished and professional way.
When it comes to wearing sneakers in the work place here are a few things to keep in mind:
Make sure your sneakers are clean. Dirty, run down sneakers is not the business.
Look for fashion or lifestyle sneakers. The shoes you wear to the gym should be left for the gym.
Avoid jeans with holds and over distressing. You are still at work (unless your job is cool with it).
Think of a look that you’d normally wear heels with but opt for sneakers instead.
Add a blazer to your look. Sneakers will dress down the look, but adding a blazer will offset the casual nature of your over all look.
Here are a few looks where I opted for sneakers instead of heels. Here, here, here and here.
