The hallmark of a great pair of shoes is versatility. You know you’ve got your hands on something special when the same style works for brunch with friends, a day at the office, and a night out. Even better? When it’s super comfortable like a sneaker.
Thanks to the growing popularity of the category, it’s acceptable to wear them with any outfit iteration. Here, three expertly styled looks to prove the point.

Gone are the days when only heels or polished flats were considered work appropriate. Now, you can take your favorite weekend shoe into the office too. Opt for a pair with subtle design touches: The contrasting sole and perforated detail of this slip-on brings a contemporary-cool vibe to classic suiting.

Sundresses with fresh white sneakers is the springtime trend we’ll never get tired of. It’s also a lesson in multitasking, as the comfy shoe lets you go from brunch to errands to dinner.

For a Weekend Night

Whether for a date or late night out with friends, modern PM dressing isn’t about a dictated style (e.g., stilettos and sexy, slinky “going out tops”). Personality counts, which is why we love wearing a retro-inspired tee, zip-side sneakers, and a cherry red bag.
