Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Style Sneakers for Summer? We know how tricky it can be to style your sneakers in the summer, so here’s some tips and tricks on how to nail the sneakers-for-summer look!
Wear socks! The age-old question is: should I wear socks with my trainers? The short answer is: yes. If you don’t wear socks with your sneakers in the summer, your feet will get very sweaty and that’s good for no one. Save the darker hues for autumn. Summer doesn’t last long (especially in the UK) and it’s pretty much the only time of the year you can go full-on with colour! Embrace it and wear all your very best colourful kicks with your best summer dresses, shorts and jeans. Denim shorts and sneakers are a fool-proof combo. Whether you’re heading to brunch, running errands, or going on a Sunday stroll, you literally cannot go wrong with light-wash denim and your best triple-white sneaks.
How Do I Style Summer Sneakers With a Dress? Make like Lily Allen and wear your kicks with your best summer dress. Here at The Sole Supplier, we like to opt for a uber-feminine tea dress and mix it up with some street-ready Air Max 90s. Wear socks that are the same brand as your kicks to keep the look consistent.
