I had a request come through this week for comfortable outfits with sneakers and it was something I could instantly tackle. I love your requests and always try to deliver, of course, lately, I’ve really been struggling to find new workwear that fits well and that I think you’ll love, but I’m working on it!
Four Ways to Wear Sneakers
I once saw a comment on a big brand’s social media page from a follower that read, “I wish she wasn’t wearing sneakers with jeans, it’s such a fashion faux pas.” Wait, what? I also saw someone once say you couldn’t wear high heels with jeans, but I could go on and on with the opinions I’ve encountered on social media (that I totally disagree with). When it comes to style, you’re always going to encounter differences of opinion. One person is going to say this combination looks great, wear it this way – while the next will say avoid this at all costs and also, fashion is always changing. Which is a big reason that I rarely share “fashion rules”. If you ask me, jeans look great with a wide range of outfit combinations – especially with jeans. Here are four of my favorite ways to wear sneakers.
With Jeans
Top spot – with jeans, my favorite way to wear them. I paired them with a soft cardigan in spring white. Fit notes, I’m wearing the sweater in Petite XS and it’s soft and thick. The jeans I sized up to Petite 25. My exact sneakers are true to size, but I’ll also share a few other options for you.

With a Dress
When it comes to wearing sneakers with a dress, it doesn’t always have to be a casual t-shirt dress. The only thing I would suggest if you’re short like me is pairing them with a dress or skirt that is above the knee rather than below the knee. Old Navy brought out a similar t-shirt dress to the one I loved last summer and I highly recommend it. I’m wearing Petite XS here and it comes in several colors. The sleeve openings are a little big so I wear a cami under mine.

With Shorts
Although I’ve been striking out in the workwear department lately I have started to gather my thoughts on shorts! This pair is one of my favorite styles from Old Navy – the O.G. shorts. I wear them in 00 or 0, if you’re on the fence with sizing I would recommend ordering your true size and a size up to try to see which one you find more comfortable. They’re a great length in the leg and not too tight in the thighs. I have a couple of pairs from last year that held up very well through many washes. Stay tuned for a full post about shorts.

With Leggings
Of course, sneakers look great with leggings also. This outfit would also work with skinny black jeans. When I first posted about this striped olive tee, it quickly sold out, but last I checked it’s been restocked!
