I stumbled upon an article today that made me want to celebrate: “8 Times Sneakers Looked Absolutely Perfect With a Dress.” Only eight? That seemed a bit low to me. Naturally, I dove into the images for a closer look.
Upon inspection (and maybe a bit of judgment), I found that six of the outfits totally nailed it, while two left me scratching my head. Most featured white sneakers, which is a problem since my collection is a rainbow of colors—just no white in sight! The comments were a mixed bag, with some folks saying, “Bah. Nope.” and others arguing it’s “too ’80s” or only suitable for backyard lounging. But honestly? I want to flaunt this look beyond my yard!
So, who do I need to ask for permission? Is there a hotline I can call? They say hitting your 40s comes with a newfound disregard for others’ opinions, but I’m still waiting for that epiphany. I care, but maybe it’s time to take a stand. I’m making it official: I will never be too old to wear sneakers with a dress, and you shouldn’t be either. Here are my own 49-year-old examples of when this combo is just perfect:
- Picnics! Break out the Converse with a lovely sundress.
- Everyday Style: Keds are practically a universal fit for any summer dress—fashion police approved!
- Semi-formal Gatherings: Like that gala for the indie film house in town. I could’ve strolled the elegant lawn in utmost comfort.
- Work: Can I make it work for my job? I think so, especially if I dress like this: Instagram User Style.
