How can wearing a comfortable pair of shoes actually help elevate your look? With so many designers teaming up to create a higher end look to sneakers, they are not just made for the gym anymore. Now, sneakers take center stage during Fashion Week and fashion focused photo shoots. Sneakers are the new must-have accessory. Just pick up prints, colors and designs that play to your individual personality. And trust me, they not only look cool, they feel comfortable too ;)

IDEA # 1

Pair low-top sneakers like converse or superga with summer dresses, short shorts, or even denim skirts.

IDEA # 2

When in doubt, wear black. I adore these classic black and white New Balance 574 sneakers as if they were Louboutin heels. ;)

IDEA #3

Wedge sneakers in a high top style. A marvel idea! Comfortable but they also add height. We can thank Isabel Marant for the ingenious design. Mine are more affordable (from Steve Madden!)

IDEA #4

Colorful Nike sneakers are cool and comfortable. Wear them in more feminine colors, or bright neon. I like pairing mine with skinny jeans or denim skirts and sleeveless tops.
