If you still doubt that gym shoes are a good choice in everyday life, keep in mind that many models of well-known manufacturers, such as Converse, Reebok, Vans, Nike, have long lost their purely athletic features and are not intended for training.

Therefore, the question "what to wear sneakers" can be answered without exaggeration - with everything you want! These are trousers, and overalls, and skirts, and dresses of any possible length. The season also does not matter - autumn sets are no less spectacular than summer ones.
But, of course, the most popular are combinations of dresses and skirts with sneakers.

First, a few universal rules.
Firstly, if you are not striving for shocking and do not want to make the image too catchy, choose shoes of neutral colors - white, gray, beige - or choose sneakers to match the dress. As practice shows, white sneakers, despite their impracticality, will ideally fit into any image, from a more strict to a romantic one.

Secondly, pay attention to the material from which your sneakers are made - this directly depends on how massive the shoes look. For summer options, choose light rag sneakers; for more closed autumn sets, leather closed sneakers are more suitable.

Thirdly, choose a model of sneakers for your height and figure - avoid combinations of dresses and skirts with sneakers that visually reduce growth. For example, a long dress and sneakers are a good choice only for tall thin women, and such a combination will make everyone else more squat.

And finally, fourthly, always soberly assess the appropriateness of a combination of sneakers + dress. If you have a long walk planned around the city, then this option has a place to be, but if you have, for example, an interview, you should make a choice in favor of more conservative combinations.

Of course, the combination of a sports dress with sneakers will be the most harmonious, and in addition, a set of denim dresses and classic neat sneakers will be an excellent choice.

While autumn weather allows, mix sneakers with a variety of coats - this is really one of the main hits of urban fashion!

In general, there are no restrictions - except try not to go too far (unless that is your main goal)! Do not combine an evening dress with massive sneakers or lush pink frills with sneakers.
