How to Rock High-Top Sneakers Every Which Way

The basic, every-day way to wear high-top sneakers, of course is with a worn t-shirt and jeans, adding a hoodie for cool weather.  But to keep things interesting, I have gathered ideas for how to style high-tops in modern styles and for a variety of occasions.

For the ultimate example of someone who knows how to spin high-top sneakers with outfits of every color under the sun every day of the year, look up Saramai (above) on Instagram, Pinterest, and her website.

High-top sneakers go with leggings, cropped pants, jeans, and even a skirt or tutu.  Also, try high-tops with skinny leather pants, and maybe a sweatshirt.  With skinny jeans or leggings, you may pull the tongue out and stop lacing at the ankle.  If you feel that the skirt is too short to go with your high-tops, bridge them with tights.

You may also want to try wearing high-tops with a maxi-dress or maxi-skirt (for instance, a black maxi-dress with black high-tops).

If you have black high-tops, try an all black ensemble.

For business casual or errands, try high-top sneakers with cropped pants and a structured jacket or a casual jacket.

Outfit Ideas

1. A white graphic t-shirt + black skinny jeans + high-top sneakers.  Add a black leather jacket.
2. A dress + a jacket + leggings + high-top sneakers.
3. A black blazer + a black & white top + black skinny jeans + black high-tops.  May add a bright color or chain-link bag.
4. A longer length tank top + black skinny jeans + a sweatshirt or other casual blazer + high-top sneakers.
5. A black graphic t-shirt + black skinny jeans + high-top sneakers.  Add bracelets + stacking rings.
6. A long, even maxi-length cardigan + a tunic-length t-shirt + skinny jeans + high-top sneakers.  Add a  chain necklace.

   

7. A white tunic t-shirt + black skinny jeans + high-top sneakers.
8. A tank top + drawstring pants + high-top sneakers.
9. A short black dress + black leggings + black high-top sneakers (or choose other colors).  Add a military-style or jean jacket and maybe a statement necklace.
10. A black sweater or t-shirt + blue jeans + black high-top sneakers.  If your high-tops are not black, match your top to the color of sneakers.
11. A leather blazer + any skinny pants + high-top sneakers.  May add a big scarf.
12. A t-shirt over a maxi-skirt + high-tops sneakers.  Add a spiked necklace with a chain + beaded bracelets.

    

    You can even dress up your sneakers (especially if they have gold and snakeskin touches as the above sneakers from Guess).  Just add a special blouse.  As I’ve mentioned before, leopard goes with everything, even the snakeskin shoes!

    I hope I’ve given you some new ideas on what to wear with your high-top sneakers.  I’d love to hear your favorite ways to wear them.  Please comment below and come back every Monday for a new blog post!
