If you told me 5 years ago that I would be wearing sneakers with non-athletic clothes I would have laughed at you. If you told me 2 years ago that I would be finding ways to wear sneakers with a dress or a skirt I would’ve thought you were crazy. But it all changed when I purchased my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers in April 2019.

With the hefty price tag, I wanted to make sure I got my money’s worth and let me tell you…I HAVE!

There are so many ways you can style sneakers even for those who consider themselves pink-loving floral obsessed girly-girls (I’m raising my hand but you can see that).

Pairing sneakers with a dress is a great way to add a casual or tomboy vibe even to the frilliest of dresses. It can also help you maximize your wardrobe and is the basis of my beloved cost per wear strategy. I bet you have dresses sitting in your wardrobe that don’t see as much action as they probably should because how many dinners or date nights are you really going to right now.

By simply adding a pair of sneakers with a dress you can wear those items you love even more – in the daytime!

If you’re feeling a bit nervous about how to pair sneakers with a dress you can start by styling them with something simple, neutral, and that already has a sporty element to it.

Pair your sneakers with a simple cotton t-shirt dress and a crossbody bag to start. If you’re feeling confident styling your sneakers with non-athletic pieces try adding a great day-to-night dress like a linen midi or floral smock dress. I’ve been loving styling my Golden Goose sneakers with my LoveShackFancy x Target dresses for an unexpected casual touch.

Don’t be afraid to try something unexpected with fashion like styling sneakers with dresses. Fashion is meant to be fun and it’s all about shopping your wardrobe to find new ways to wear something.
