41shares

It would be weird to be all “trainers are all the rage rn” up in your face. Because, let’s face it, they’ve always been cool.

But does donning a pair of sneakers on your way into the office, or client meeting, automatically show the world you haven’t got the sartorial elegance of a successful young professional? HELL no! There are fine lines between shabby and chic, people. But how does one pull it off?

I mean, obviously, we are gonna show you. It’s time to suit up.

Yeah, that’s right. It’s the *epitome* of contrasting. Throwing on a pair of sneakers with a matching power suit is your key to entering the world of ‘work at 9am, queen of cool at 10’.

This look just screams sophisticated. With a touch of ‘I’m a pretty cool person under all this class’. Team with clean, white tennis shoes and you’re nailing the Instagram-girl vibe to a tee. (Get it? Cos you wear it with a white tee..?)
