Go Girly

A little juxtaposition is also more than encouraged. Pairing a girly skirt (this colorful lace one is totally on-trend for spring!) with tougher shoes makes a style statement that we can pretty much guarantee will earn you more than your fair share of compliments.

Tee Time

As for what to wear on top, T-shirts and sneakers go together like peanut butter and jelly. That said, we do recommend being strategic with your tee choice. Opt for one with a slim-but-still-slouchy cut in a soft, slightly-textured cotton. Bonus points for a wearing one in a fun color that accents your shoes!

If you want to play up the athletic vibe of your shoes, take things a step further by donning a baseball cap. It truly is the year of the sporty hat, so you’ll have no problem tracking down one that suits you! Our pick? Tie-dye, of course.
