Even in a post-pandemic world where many of us have embraced dressing up more, sneakers still reign supreme, and fashion lovers continue to trade their height-boosting shoes for flatter, more comfortable footwear. Sneakers are here to stay, and the sneaker industry is as competitive, if not more so, than the handbag industry, with It-pairs selling well beyond retail on the secondary market. Hard-to-find pairs of sneakers can be just as coveted as, if not more, than even the most illustrious handbags.
Putting the hype aside, sneakers are not only a comfortable way to add style to any outfit, but they can also easily help add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral look, and instantly a pair of sneakers can change your whole outfit. I love my sneaker collection almost as much as I love my handbag collection, and each year I add a couple of new pairs into my rotation. Admittedly, I’ve been slacking this year, but I’ve got my eyes on a few pairs. My latest obsession is the Sandy Liang x Salomon collab, which of course, is sold out, but thankfully, we’ve got StockX!
Below I’ve rounded up a list of perfect sneaker and bag pairings I love right now! I’ve got you covered with a little something for everyone, whether you love a clunky dad sneaker, a clean sporty silhouette, or a nice white platform. Are you a sneaker lover too? Which pair are you eyeing?
