Q
i know that “fashion”
sneakers are in, but they
still look like gym shoes to
me. What’s the trick to
picking out a pair of running
shoes that works for real life,
too?
a Two things contribute to how
fashion-forward a sneaker is: It’s
shape and what outfit you’re
wearing it with. The key is to find
a not-too-puffy silhouette in
fashion-forward colors like
neons, pastels, corals and grays.When it comes to wearing them
in real life, it’s important to let
your ankles show, so cropped
trousers, rolled-up jeans,
miniskirts, shorts and dresses all
work. Avoid wearing anything
too casual like leggings or baggy
sweats, or your sneakers won’t
look as intentional.Q
i love accessorising, but
the usual silver and gold
pieces are starting to bore
me. What options can you
suggest?
a Try accessorising with
coloured details or look for items
with bright stones like marble
pendants or turquoise tassels.
You can also go for pieces with
designs that are subtle and
simple yet flow effortlessly with
any outfit.
