Playful Pairings: Sneakers to Wear with Your Suits

Most of our outfits have shoe pairings that are obvious, like the expectation of dress shoes being worn with suits. But wearing sneakers puts a fresh spin on the look and still adds polish under your tailored pants. Sure, it’s more casual, but it can be just as sharp. And that all comes down to the type of sneaker you decide on. It can’t just be any sneak so be sure to follow the same rules you would with your suit. Think, modern, fitted and sleek. Stay away from technical ones—your Asics or your discolored and worn basketball shoes. Instead, keep them minimal and clean. We’re here to help you think outside of the box to help liven up a classic look. Check out our list of sneaks that will make a statement and add some edge, without looking out of place.
