It took me a little bit to come to terms that sneakers can easily equal a stylish outfit. I’ve always been such a heels girl, but the reality is, that’s not as realistic with a small child or children. Sure, there are exceptions, but in most cases, sneakers or flats win. Admittedly, as I’ve mentioned in the past, I’ve been having a lot of fun challenging myself by putting these types of looks together. Styling an outfit around a pair of pumps comes very naturally to me, but a sneakers outfit is a wee bit out of my comfort zone. I’ve learned, just with any styling, that proportions are key. If weather allows, I prefer to have a little bit of ankle showing. Overall, I think it’s just a flattering look and helps to balance everything out.
Styling Sneakers: Three Easy (Mom) Outfits
The mostly red outfit above is loud, but occasionally, I want to step outside of my neutral zone.
I love a monochromatic look and I find it the easiest to look like a ton of effort went into looking like “a cool mom,” or just into looking stylish, but it’s actually one of the easiest things to put together. All red is just one example, but I love pairing one color both on top and bottom. The all red look I wore around the holidays is another example, but in that case, I really went for it, wearing read from head to toe, literally.

For those who’ve been reading my blog for a few years, will probably remember this Tahari coat.
This coat was my most clicked on/sold item in my blog history! Years later, it still hangs in my closet and I remembered why I loved it so much. I’m wearing it with one of my recent denim purchases, these Rag & Bone flares. I’ve found cropped and flared denim to be hit or miss, but this pair happens to be such a good one. They’re nice and high waisted and I love how they look with sneakers and heels.

I really don’t think it gets much easier than jeans and a tee.
To top it off, a boyfriend style camel coat gives the look an effortless feel. I own several camel coats (here’s my longer one that I always wear), but this one is ideal to wear with sneakers. It’s shorter, so the proportions feel nice and balanced. On occasion, I will wear my longer one in a more casual way, but I do prefer the look of that with some added height from heels.
So, which look of the three if your favorite?
