At one time, you might have worn sneakers on your commute only to change into less comfortable work shoes upon arriving at the office. But sneakers are more than just sensible errand runners. With so many unique styles, they can be the perfect accompaniment to nearly any outfit. “Today’s best styles go beyond gymwear, offering elevated materials, seasonal colors and a streamlined look that complements both smart-casual and weekend-ready outfits,” says Elisa Ellis, a Dallas-based wardrobe stylist and founder of Turnkey Style.
Boston-based wardrobe stylist Aricia Symes, author of “The Style Formula” and founder of the image-consulting firm Unfoldid, advises her clients to invest in one “neutral hero” sneaker in a material like brown suede or metallic silver leather, “as well as one statement sneaker that feels uniquely theirs and adds their personal spin to any outfit.” On this list, you’ll find wardrobe staples, statement-makers and more, all recommended by style pros.
