What is the first image that pops into your brain when you hear the word “sneaker?” I don’t know about you but I immediately start having flashbacks to the second grade and my chunky Skechers sneakers. Even better, I think of my grandma and her Skechers Shape Ups…enough said. Long story short, in my mind sneakers equal Skechers. Sneakers seem to be making a comeback, however, determined to eliminate that negative connotation, and it looks promising.
This Fashionista is on point with the recent trend that is literally stomping its way all over campus. Black quilted slip-on sneakers are an unexpected trend that seems to be hitting the spot for Fashionistas. If you think about it, it makes sense why these shoes have become so popular. Not only are they black, which means they match basically everything, but the shoes are comfortable. Imagine that! A Fashionista walking in stylish, comfortable shoes: no wonder this trend is taking over.
The shoes are quick to slip on and off which is a feature that becomes so important as our lives become busier. Also, the sleekness to the shoe allows it to go with so much more than those chunky Sketchers without looking awkward. Pair these shoes with leather leggings, skinny jeans or even a skirt to add that edgy aesthetic. This Fashionista chose a simple outfit that coincides perfectly with the simplicity of the sneakers. Her jean jacket, nose stud and multiple gold rings contribute minimal details that coordinate with the edginess these shoes provide. So throw out those dreaded Sneakers and invest in a comfortable pair of these slip-ons that will have your feet and your dignity thanking you 20 years from now.
