We got so much flak in the 80s and 90s for wearing sneakers on our commutes to and from the office. My office was a conservative corporate one and we were expected to wear pumps. But, there was no way I could walk the mile-long portion of my commute over broken concrete, rubble, rocks and mud in heels. Some even told us to not enter the building with them on, but to change our shoes outside first! Men, they don’t get it, they always wear flat, comfortable shoes. We cheerfully ignored that and changed shoes at our desks. What a relief is was to get our sneakers on after a day of pinching pumps!

Love sneakers with so many different looks! Comfort, Fun and Style ❤ My husband and I were married at the base of a waterfall, so we both wore Adidas hiking style trainers…..he wore a blue suit with black trainers and I wore a white mermaid style gown with blue trainers (something 💙).

Went to a conference in Venice, Italy and happily noticed that even in a relatively formal, academic environment most people were wearing sneakers! When I was a student there many years ago they were not frowned upon either because in that city walkable shoes are a true necessity and non optional but now I feel that they have been embraced completely and love it!

Oh that’s brilliant - love it 😊

my mother hated my sneaker wearing with everything for the longest time 🤣 she had never owned a pair out of doing sports ever in her life. It was not something she would EVER wear. Weeeeell how the turn tables, because she finally got herself white high top sneakers now at 70 years old and is like "HOW have I missed out on this COMFORT my whole life!!!!" She looks so cute in them too So for you out there that frowns upon sneakers, just do it. Start with jeans and a nice oversized dress shirt in a light fabric. You can't possibly hate that look.

Dear Linda Adams: I like single-colored high-top sneakers on a woman: all white -- or all black with *white socks, four inches above* the show line, while showing shins.

Something else I asked you about last time was styling the maxi length (on me) trench. I’m loving the swooshy feel of it over an already swooshy dress. It’s surprisingly warm being lined, for chilly days, so I think I’ll be wearing it well into Autumn. I was unsure about it being a petite but it looks and feels great. It was just a bit out of my comfort zone. Keeps my maxi dress dry during a downpour! Definitely encourage ladies who are unsure to try your suggestion of plain sleek sneakers. I’ve not wanted to wear anything else much at all. Comfort is priceless.

Love this video and all the contents of it! Thanks for the inspiration to continue to try new styles for comfort! I added a few vintage brooches onto the laces of my white Converse to add some bling! I don't care that I'm 66 years old! I'm really having fun with my clothes these days!!

Brilliant. I notice changing to colored laces that tie in color in a look.

I started wearing sneakers last year (probably heard about them on your channel ). Plain white low rise. Not true sneakers but white leather sneaker like shoes. So comfy and plain white does go with anything. Didn’t want to give them up till weather changed and I had to. Love them. Fortunately at my office everyone wears sneakers so win win. In summer I love maxi dresses and unless it’s really too hot for closed in shoes, sneakers are my go-to faves.

I was getting ready to look for link for Chloe but you saved me the effort. One thing I like about a classic pair of leather white sneakers in that you can rejuvenate them with some white polish. Okay with matching accessories with the sneaks make it more intentional verse the movie Working Girl vibe (this was me at time back in the day). There were days I kept them on all day because I am just sitting at my desk but my heels were under the desk in case. Yeah I do like a good sock with my tennis shoes because it an accessory that perserve them and it can add it own statement. Thanks for sharing and Ta ta for now!

For the sneaker.dress combo dilemma - its best to use fashion sneakers (converse, jordans or other leather sneakers) as opposed to actual sports/running style sneakers which can look a bit off.

The volume, profile, socks or not, and inseam/hemline are really important. I find that I can’t wear different inseam or jeans styles with all my sneakers. I bought a pair of gazelle in 2016 for $40. Samba was about the same on Amazon. Now I can’t find a pair of my size and fave color on Amazon or Adidas site. I have a pair of Stan Smith for 10 years and still can find a new pair on Amazon for $60.

I think if I had a pair of simple, all-white sneakers, I might try them with my skirts and dresses, which I wear most days. I had a pair of new Supergas, but after taking a few steps in them, I decided to sell them, they’re hideously uncomfortable. Part of the problem with sneakers and skirts is that I look shorter in them.

I’m petite too and I’ve bought lots of sneaker styles in past couple of years. So far the only ones I like ON ME with any skirt/dress looks are Vejas, the Esplar Low Top style. They’re very streamlined and they are so low cut that they don’t “cut off” (hide) any of your leg. I got one of the ones with the V in a low-contrast neutral, the soft metallic gold, but I also like the all white or the light beige V. Still though I can’t bring myself to wear them with a midi length skirt, like my white or light wash denim skirts which hit below the knee even tho they’re petites. I just feel short & frumpy. Or as my dear mother used to say, like I’m standing in a hole! But I like them with flowier above the knee summer skirts and dresses. I think with a maxi I would want a platform style sneaker, but the Vejas might work when it turns cooler with a longer skirt and maybe a cropped denim or moto jacket, as long as the skirt is flowy at the bottom.

Dolce Vita has amazing dupes for the Chloe sneakers, ladies.

Please tell me where you got your top. Thanks!!!

I love both, but because of the sneaker trends, I question if the sneakers I bought will have trend longevity. I think they are both classics, which I put a lot of thought when buying them. The Downtown sneakers are retro of the Jordans. And the Prax 1 is definitely classic.
