Since they can be combined with both casual and smart clothes with equally satisfactory results, sneakers are part of the everyday look of many men.
This season, retro running and basketball models are a trend. The following are three ideas to combine them with style:
Monochrome retro sneakers + Dress pants + Jacket
If your office is the creative type, we encourage you to replace your shoes with slippers. If you want a soft contrast between pants and shoes, go for monochromatic ones, like these from Filling Pieces. Make sure the leg length of your dress pants is slightly shorter than usual - as is the case with this Dries Van Noten style - for a contemporary effect. For the upper part, both jackets (bomber or denim) and blazers can work, depending on whether underneath we opt for a casual or more smart piece, such as a shirt or a fitted fine knit sweater.
Shiny retro sneakers + Jeans + Sweatshirt
This remains a safe bet for leisure time this fall. This year we propose this idea consisting of an oversize sweatshirt, aged-effect skinny jeans and shiny sneakers –which in this case are the relaunched Nike Air Max 97- as an alternative to your minimalist models. You can substitute skinny jeans for straight or tapered ones, but remember to keep the balance with a tighter piece on top.
Retro anti-cool sneakers + relaxed pants
Within the trend of retro sports shoes, there is a trend driven by avant-garde firms such as Balenciaga or Yeezy which many have dubbed "big and ugly" sneakers, although we prefer to refer to them as "anti-cool". Above these lines you can see a stylish way to combine them: robust Our Legacy sneakers with relaxed-fit trousers. Let the hems fall gently on the shoes or even better, show your socks (or ankles) with cropped models or by rolling the hems directly.
