Sneakers.
You know you need them. You know you want them.
So many out there , it can get confusing.
Never Fear FiFi is here !
Here’s the thing: You’ve probably been wearing white sneakers for a while now.
They are still right.
But it’s time to update to a new colour or style.
It’s the quickest way to joosh up your wardrobe.
Remember these sneakers are not to wear when exercising.
Mais non !
It’s when you’re out and about: when you want to look casual and chic.
When you want to be comfortable.
But look like you have made an effort !

What to look for?
There are a few different styles to choose from:
The plain almost vintage sneaker ( see here) the chunky sneaker ( see here), the classic canvas (see here) or there are the multicoloured vava voom sneaker.

My checklist:
The plain white Stan smith : so comfortable, good for when you want plain and simple.
The multi beige sneakers: I live in these & they go with all the neutrals and camel.
The vintage sneaker in grey/white and browns – lighter style and more elegant .
The new Balance multi sneakers: I have ordered these and these.
(It’s the camel sole that is important and will link back to all my camel in my wardrobe)
Could not decide so we will see what works best….

How to wear them?
Sneakers love and adore LONG coats. Match made in heaven.
Throw on a knit, pleather pants and a long, long trench plus sneakers = cool chic.
Sneakers also love big slouchy sweaters, a puffa jacket and leather leggins. You’ll see that a chunky sneaker then adds the balance and proportion to the volume on top.

In terms of pants?
Rule of thumb: Wear wide leg chinos/ pants and jeans long & over the sneakers.
Keep straight jeans short. So you see the ankle.
Try to link the colours of your outfit back to the sneakers.
But if you crave some wacky colours then sneakers are the way to do it ! Keep the clothes monotone and then add the coloured sneakers as the main focus.
Sneakers and a skirt? Works in summer but in winter? Mmmm not so sure.
