The hype about sneakers will not decrease in 2022 either. So it’s obvious that these comfortable shoes shouldn’t be missing in any closet. But how do you recognize a real fashionista? The styling, of course. This also applies to sneakers.
If we used to want to create a comfortable or sporty outfit, sneakers were a must. Today, the styling of this footwear is quite complex. Because for a long time they have not only been refining sweaters and jogging pants: sneakers are now a go-to for business fashion, a fashion statement and a serious competitor for high heels. However, more options mean more uncertainty. We create clarity and show you four styling ideas for your sneakers.
Sneaker in perfect match with accessories
“The shoes should match the belt”, “The color of the sneaker should match the jacket”, “Shoes and outfit should have a similar style” – there are many rules for combining shoes. But this season, one thing in particular is emerging: sneakers and accessories can come from one color family. What in theory could also be described as the ‘perfect match of accessories’ means one thing above all in reality: sneakers are geared towards bags, scarves, belts, caps, etc. – or vice versa. The effect: the look is harmonious in no time, trousers, blouse, blazer, pullover can be combined in simple colors and in classic cuts.
Sneaker in sporty glamour
Even if the range of styling combinations has increased immensely, we would also like to advertise the tried-and-tested classic combo again: Because sneakers can still be worn perfectly with a hoodie and jogging pants in 2022. However, so that your outfit looks less like a ragged look and more suitable for everyday use and the office, you should not only pay attention to the quality of your loungewear. A color-coordinated duo of pants and top also gives your styling elegance right away.
Sneaker as an eye-catcher
Do you love sneakers as much as we do? Then make it the eye-catcher of your look the next time you style it. Of course, this works particularly well if you already have a flashy pair of sneakers in your closet, but less gaudy pairs can also be styled to catch the eye. Important here: Choose simple, inconspicuous colors, if not even a moncrome look around your shoes – this enhances the effect. Our tip: Brown tones are particularly suitable for a simple styling.
Sneaker in a duo
Being in a “partner look” with your loved one is currently experiencing a revival. What used to be considered a no-go is now all the rage, especially in Hollywood. However, if you don’t want to imitate the legendary jeans all-over appearance of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the American Music Awards 2001 with your partner, you should try a similar selection of shoes. Psychologists are certain: dressing up to match releases happiness and infatuation hormones. Sounds good right? If you want to try it out, you can, for example, grab identical sneakers: not too flashy, but super trendy. Isabelle and Felix Hartmann show us how stylish this can look.
