In the last decade, sneakers have transitioned from a fun trend to a wardrobe staple. They're so comfortable and make any outfit look a bit more sporty. They can feel polished or casual, depending on the silhouette. Right now, we're having a moment with the retro '70s runner sneaker. It hits the right notes between nostalgic and modern, especially in the shoes we're seeing right now. They look great with athleisure, jeans, or a dress, and if you want to try them out, we like these 12 styles. The foam at the bottom gives a little bit of height, which we'll always take, and you can choose from neutral colors that go with everything or fun, vibrant shades that make a statement.
