There is a revolution happening in the streets! Women everywhere are abandoning their heels for sneakers! We’re not talking about wearing them to the gym or around the mall at the weekend. Not at all! These days, sneakers are more likely to be worn as the ultimate footwear to update any outfit.
No occasion is too sacred; brides and their guests are opting for sneakers under their glamorous outfits and it is fast becoming part of the culture in many non-client facing roles in the workplace. Our friends in the Tech industry have been wearing sneakers to work for years. Celebrities such as Serena Williams have perfected the look. In 2018, she revealed that she wore sneakers under her evening gown as she partied the night away at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s evening reception. This year, she wore another pair to the Met Gala in May and at this weekend’s Emmys, Viola Davis paired her evening gown with sneakers and fans loved it!
It has been reported that the sale of high heels are down as a result of this trend. Sneakers range from the very affordable store brands to high end designers such as Chanel and Christian Dior. There are a variety of styles available such as high tops, platforms, wedges, bulky etc.
As we enter the party season in the coming weeks, we can all dazzle in comfort to the envy of those who haven’t caught on yet.
Finally! Ladies are waking up to the light!! Step into a life of freedom, girls. Away with the blister packs, corn relief pads and arch-soothing remedies. Yes! Let's go...
