A healthy lifestyle has long been in fashion and has become an integral part of it. Playing on contrast, modern fashion designers boldly combine elegant women's clothing with massive sneakers, sometimes achieving completely unexpected results.. The exclusive affiliation of these shoes with sports style has sunk into oblivion and today, breaking stereotypes, they confidently parade on world catwalks.
When can you wear chunky sneakers?
“Dad’s” sneakers are simply indispensable for the off-season and winter; they can successfully replace the usual classic shoes like boots and ankle boots, creating not only a modern look, but also making moving around the city more comfortable.
The features of the “dirty” seasons are reflected in the collections of ultra-fashionable designers: their most utilitarian models look as if they have been worn for more than one season, so you no longer have to worry about extra stains on your shoes.
Models with wedge heels with a high tongue and a textured sole, the so-called sneakers, will create a feeling of stability on wet and slippery streets and will protect your feet from wind and dampness. In addition, they are very comfortable to walk in.
Important! There are brighter summer versions of such shoes, which are made from lightweight, breathable natural materials.
Who shouldn't wear them?
If back in the 90s sneakers were considered the clothing of the young, the situation has changed. Women of all ages appreciate the convenience of sports shoes, and with their modern variety, any lady can find a suitable model for herself. There are practically no restrictions the main thing is not to make a mistake in combining sneakers with classic clothes, so as not to look stupid.
Thin ladies should be especially careful when using this item of clothing, as such shoes visually lengthen your legs and make you look thinner.
What clothes do they go with?
Chunky sneakers have one important advantage: against their background, all other parts of the body look more elegant, so they can be safely combined with short jackets and cropped trousers.
Paired with a trendy plaid coat or trench coat, no matter what you're wearing underneath, sneakers will look surprisingly appropriate.
Fashionable trousers with stripes look great with “ugly” sneakers, but under one condition: trousers must be ultra-long. You can complement the suit with a long trench coat or a warm cardigan.
A super short skirt always looks provocative, except when it's paired with dad sneakers. This contrast will make your legs appear slimmer and longer.
Important! Thin and tall women are better off abandoning this image so as not to turn their advantages into disadvantages.
Snickers go well with leggings and skinny jeans. And although fashion designers claim that Such shoes are already going out of fashion; they allow you to combine a classic style with a sporty one.. Wedge sneakers look very flattering with skirts of varying lengths. Floor-length dresses and skirts go well with chunky sneakers, especially if they are accentuated with matching accessories:
- a hat and belt are suitable for walking with friends;
- a voluminous feminine sweater or top is quite suitable as an addition to the office option;
- flowy skirts and a smart cardigan combined with an alcoholic T-shirt are quite appropriate even on a date.
You can also wear large shoes with dresses: denim, medium-length or even mini, with voluminous sleeves or no sleeves at all. In this case, sneakers will emphasize the femininity of the image.
