I’ve worn sneakers while traveling for a few years now, but being in NYC more and more, and spending much more time on my feet, has had me embracing the comfortable shoe even beyond my travel attire. Since we split most of our time between two very walkable cities, you’ll find me in sneakers at least once or twice per week. However, that doesn’t mean I spend my days in workout gear–instead, I’ve figured out how to wear my sneakers in a way that rings true to my personal style. My secret for making this work? Choosing athletic shoes with a simple, streamlined look and feminine colors and/or details. When a pair of shoes fits my aesthetic to a tee, I know I’ll be able to make them work with countless combinations in my closet. In case you’re on the lookout for a new pair of wear-anywhere athletic shoes this January, see below for a few of my current favorites!
