Before I start, I’ll get it out: I am all for wearing trainers (or sneakers as Americans say) with everything.
But because everyone’s wearing them, by default does that make them over?
One look through Net-A-Porter, Matches and Barneys alone proves that the humble trainer has a legit space besides heels in the luxury market. This shouldn’t surprise since the casual aesthetic moved into the luxury space years ago. Remember when jeans were under $50? Now spending north of $200 – heck north of $400 is normal.
Luxe aside, Nike, Adidas and New Balance are still the most popular shoe worn with everything.
Reckon it’s a passing phase?

Dresses with sneakers is definitely a style that’s still going strong! There’s nothing like the sexiness of a dress mixed with the comfort of a sneaker…it’s sexy casual! ?

I don’t think they are a passing phase. This has been popular since I was a teen in the 60s! I finally broke down and got Converse All Stars. I wasn’t going to do it because I’ve never liked the way they were made. When they came out with CAS II……and made much better I said I’m going to cave. I used to be a Reebok girl for years. I don’t feel like I’m a traitor *LOL*…………..Happy Easter, Lady.

wow Reebok. I’ve not heard that name in ages. Funny how the other brands caught on but not those. Converse All Stars never go out in my eyes
