Everyone has a pair of Nikes hanging around in their shoe collection. They might be reserved for exercising or you might have just forgotten about them. In any case, odds are that they’re there. Lucky for you, those Nikes have become a major street style staple lately. Of course, it might seem a little daunting to figure out how to work a sneaker into a chic outfit. There are loads of sources for inspiration online with Instagram and Pinterest as places to start, but maybe that’s not your thing. If not, I have some inspiration for you with this Fashionista, who styled a classic black pair of Nikes in a super chic way.
To start, you can’t go wrong with a mostly black palette. This Fashionista wore some high-waisted black pants paired with a black and white striped shirt and a leather jacket. All of these items should be staples in your wardrobe to begin with because they are just so versatile. The leather jacket would look super stylish over a more formal dress. The high-waisted pants would look great with a variety of T-shirts or blouses. And the striped T-shirt? Well, black and white stripes are basically a neutral, if you ask me; the possibilities are endless.
Sometimes finding the right shoes for a look can seem like the most difficult part, but this Fashionista proved just how simple it can be. Find those Nikes in the back of your closet (if they’re all-black then they’re even more versatile) and style them up with a look similar to this one and you have yourself the ideal outfit for everything from walking to class to heading to the airport for a big trip.
How To: If you don’t already have your Nikes, be sure to find your ideal pair to start off. My suggestion? Opt for a classic black pair with a few interesting details in the design.
