Move over, painful heels and uncomfortable flats: slip-on sneakers are super trendy right now, and I literally could not be happier about it.
I first noticed that slip-on sneakers (a more chic version of a regular lace-up sneaker) were back in style when I saw them gracing the pages of my favorite magazines and looking cute on some famous style bloggers, like Sincerely Jules, over the summer. Then I went to New York Fashion Week this month, and noticed not one, but a lot of super stylish people prancing around in adorable slip-on sneakers. Some were pairing them with jeans and a cute top, but a lot of people were unexpectedly wearing them with fancier dresses.
I don’t think I really need to make a case for why this trend is awesome. These sneakers are ridiculously comfortable, and they’ll go with basically anything. So many brands and labels are coming out with really fun pairs, too – I’ve seen animal print, leather, metallic, tartan. The possibilities are endless!
