5 Foolproof Ways to Pair a Dress With Sneakers

Brunch with your girlfriends is the perfect opportunity to try out a trendy look that's bound to get their attention. And when your BFFs compliment your cool new look, simply smile and enjoy that mimosa.

While sneakers may already be a weekend staple, skip your workout wear and toss on a breezy maxi instead. Since you never know who you'll run in to while you're out running errands, there's no harm in taking your look from no effort to effortlessly chic.

To make this combination office appropriate, pair sleek sneakers with a structured and sophisticated business dress. Keep your jewelry simple, but make a statement with a bag that makes you feel like a total boss.

Whether it's a first date or you've planned something special with your long-term love, sneakers will help put you (and your date) at ease. You can still wear your favorite slinky dress, but leave your go-to stilettos at home. Not only do sneakers seem more relaxed, they'll help you survive the walk home blister-free once dinner is done.

If you're planning on dancing the night away, don't feel obligated to wear your sexiest heels. Sneakers add a hint of playfulness to a flirty minidress — and with all the fun you'll be having while you own the dance floor, someone is bound to take notice.
