When it comes to this season’s hottest trends, I can’t help but fall in love with the sporty chic vibe that has hit the fashion world. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love a sexy heel, but throwing on a sneaker doesn’t hurt. For years, heels have been the go-to fashion must-have, but with designers showcasing sliders and flatforms on the runway, sneakers like these have been what’s hot and on the menu.

I absolutely love date nights with my boyfriend, which I like to look my best but desire to be comfortable at the same time. He’s a very adventurous person who literally loves long walks and doing fun activities. Typically when I think of date night, I think of heels but I wanted to try something different by creating a comfy yet very chic look. That’s where these awesome sneakers came into play. Traditionally, I would pair them with a jogging suit or something sporty, but that’s not what this season calls for. I decided to switch things up by going for a sporty chic vibe for date night, which meant adding a bit of girly glam to my look. Pink happens to be one of my favorite colors, and paired with this look, added a feminine touch. I felt like I could walk for hours, enjoy my date and relax without my feet hurting.

Note that when trying to find the perfect look for your sporty shoes, think outside the box. A shoe like this would look great with a dress or flared skirt. With it having pops of different colors, try focusing on one of the shades to emphasize. With my look, I went for the lighter pink, which looked great for where I was going that weekend. Next, add a bold bauble, which will complete the look. Think of your accessories as the part that pulls your entire outfit together. The important thing to remember is to mix and match with your sporty chic look. Style is about rocking the latest trends but interpreting them your way.
