How to style sneakers for work
By Josephine Agbonkhese
It’s officially acceptable to wear sneakers to work— if you style them right.
As long as your outfit looks considered and put-together, certainly, no one will blink twice at your sneakers. The trick is to try to include at least one tailored element to the outfit, whether that be a blazer, tailored pants, formal dress or a button-down shirt.
Here are a few ways to style your favourite sneakers for work without spiting your HR.
With pencil dress
Pair sneakers with a chic formal pencil midi dress. Complete the look with matching handbag and you’re ready for work.
With pantsuit
There’s nothing quite like a pantsuit to pull a smart look. Opt for one with straight or cropped pants, layer a tank top or white tee underneath, and finish up with your favourite white lace-up sneakers.
With button-down shirt
Button-downs are versatile and seasonless. Pair with a cropped pant for a modern, chic office look and finish with a pair of sneakers.
With pleated skirt
Put a feminine spin to the look by pairing your sneakers with a pleated skirt, sleeveless chiffon top and an oversized blazer.
