These days, fashion sneakers are the footwear of choice for most working women. Here are five guiding rules to follow if you’re looking to wear sneakers to work without looking too casual:
- When In Doubt, Stick to Classic White
When embarking on this trend for the first time, get yourself a pair of neat white sneakers. They’ll make you look polished and pull your look together.

2. It’s Okay For Them To Get A Little Dirty
The keyword here is little. A speck of dirt here and there won’t hurt the style factor. However, be sure to wipe your sneakers down once they’ve started getting too dirty to keep them looking well-maintained.

3. Let Your Sneakers Stand Out Once In A While
Sure, sneakers can be casual but there are dressy ones available too. Brands like Common Projects, Sophia Webster and even Miu Miu make some stylish yet comfortable sneakers so you don’t always have to stick to wearing white.
Just remember where you’re wearing these sneakers to. So, don’t go overboard and get an overly elaborate pair.

4. Wear Them With Just About Anything You Feel Like
Don’t just stick to wearing your sneakers with pants or jeans. Experiment and wear them with skirts of any length and even dresses.

5. Don’t Take Your Sneakers To The Gym
Whether its your Nikes or your Yeezy Boosts, don’t mix your workout shoes with your fashion ones. Keep them separate so they last longer.
