ACCESSORIES REPORT: Hello High-Tops

The truth is, we all wear sneakers. Whether you’re out and about on campus or at the gym, sneakers are and will forever be a staple in all Fashionista/o’s closets.

Since fall 2013, sneakers have become hugely popular and widely upgraded. Say goodbye to basic kicks and hello to bold new options. Such examples include Isabel Marant’s iconic wedge sneaker and high-tops by Lanvin. Both have been sported by the likes of Miranda Kerr, Beyoncé and Ana Beatriz Barros. While you may still be tempted to teeter around in pumps or stilettos, take a note from these fashionable celebs instead. Trade in your high heels for some upscale high-tops, just like the Fashionista pictured here.

These high-tops are the perfect combination of sporty and chic. Designed by an up and coming shoe company, Forsake, these sneakers are ready for the outdoors and the classroom. They are waterproof and breathable all without sacrificing style. If an accessory is both all-weather appropriate and trendy, honestly, who can say no?

What this Fashionista did best was take a sporty sneaker and pair it with a feminine springtime ensemble. The navy on her striped quarter sleeve shirt complements her baby blue high-tops. She created a nice connection with the various shades of blue. Also, her hot pink shorts offset all of the blue. Overall, the refined color palette was the right choice for making her kicks a seamless part of the feminine look.

The Fashionista topped off her outfit with mixed bangles from Alex and Ani and silver floral earrings. Again, her feminine style was most prominently featured but it was her sporty and chic high-tops that stole the show.

Spotted: Chanel fall 2014 ready-to-wear collection featured fashionable sneakers in various fabrics and colors.
