Today, not only comfortable sneakers are on the feet of fashionistas. In the summer of 2020, they were replaced by sandals. But not graceful, with high platforms or heels. And not beach ones, with completely flat soles. And sports ones. Today I’ll tell you how to wear them correctly.
The essence of the trend
Sandals like this are not a new word in the fashion world. They first appeared on the feet of young people back in 1970, at the very height of the hippie era. Girls and boys advocating for world peace preferred comfortable and soft shoes. Therefore, they could often be seen wearing sports sandals.
But they did not become pioneers either. Since ancient times, such shoes have been valued by tourists and travelers. The thick sole helped smooth out uneven roads, rocks and potholes along the way. At the same time, the sandals were very firmly attached to the foot.
Many years have passed, and fashionistas have also appreciated the comfort of the shoes. Sports sandals are beautiful, cool and comfortable. And designers have also transformed this trend, making their collections more feminine and delicate.
What to wear with sports sandals
With a dress
A maxi or midi dress made of a plain flowing fabric is the main trend of this post-coronavirus season. This look can be complemented with black sports sandals made of genuine leather or leatherette.
Accessories include a straw hat and a wicker bag in macrame style. The result will be a very gentle image of a romantic girl, which will look equally good both on the beach and in the city.
With shorts
Extremely short knickers are a favorite trend for connoisseurs of a beautiful and even tan. Sports sandals are perfect for these. The look looks good with deliberately rough shoes with Velcro.
The resulting look can be complemented with a white crop top and jacket. Done - in this outfit the girl will look like a city beauty.
With a jacket
An elongated oversized black jacket looks great with the same sandals with a rough white sole. This set can be complemented with a black minidress.
The result will be a businesslike, gentle, beautiful, and at the same time discreet style. But I urge you to be extremely careful with monochrome looks. Total black is not for everyone.
With denim
On cold summer evenings, you can wear simple straight-leg jeans and complement them with sporty sandals. To make your look more elegant and delicate, you can take sandals with beautiful and bright prints, decorated with rhinestones.
A regular T-shirt made of a plain fabric will fit on top. In particularly cold weather, you can complement your look with a romantic cardigan with puffed sleeves.
With trousers
If sandals look great with jeans, why not wear them with trousers? Beautiful sandals will help to slightly dilute the strict business image. Still, a formal pantsuit is not always appropriate. On top the bow can be diluted with a bright polo. It will turn out very beautiful, gentle and stylish.
What can't you wear them with?
Despite their convenience, you still won’t be able to carry sandals “both to feasts and to people.” You should not combine them with a luxurious evening dress or business suit. Shoes or at least white sneakers would go better with such looks.
Sandals look bad with sports and massive suits. You should not wear them under bell-bottom trousers - then the image will look too overloaded and heavy at the bottom.
