How to style printed sneakers: one simple rule, the right colours and tips for every style (low-top, slip-on, chunky, leopard) so your outfit always works.
Printed sneakers are the easiest way to make a simple outfit interesting. But how do you wear them without it getting too busy? This guide shows how to style printed sneakers, which colours work together and which style suits which moment.
Let your sneakers take the lead and keep the rest calm. A printed sneaker under a plain outfit stands out straight away, while print on print quickly gets busy. So choose clothes in one or two colours and let the shoes do the work.
Want to wear more print anyway? Choose a second item in the same pattern or colours, such as a bag with the same monogram. That way the outfit feels like a whole.
The easiest way to combine: look at the colours in your sneakers and repeat one of them in your outfit.
Black-and-white monogram: goes with almost everything. Pair with black, white, grey, denim or beige. Animal print with yellow or brown: repeat the accent colour in a top or cap, or keep the rest black. Colourful motifs: choose an outfit in the sneaker's base colour, such as black or white, so the colours on the shoe stand out.
You can wear a low-top sneaker anywhere: to work, at the weekend, on a terrace. The monogram low-top sneakers have a black canvas upper with a white geometric monogram and a white rubber sole. With a breathable foam insole and cotton laces, they are made for all-day wear.
How to wear them:
With straight jeans and a white T-shirt: the classic that never fails. With black joggers and an oversized hoodie: for a relaxed streetwear look. With a midi skirt: sneakers under a skirt make a smart look instantly casual.
No time for laces? The monogram slip-on sneakers have a white canvas upper with a black monogram, elastic side panels and a cushioned footbed. Ideal for travel, errands or the school run.
Wear them with cropped trousers or a short dress so your ankle shows. That makes the shoe look lighter and shows off the print.
Chunky sneakers or "dad shoes" make your outfit edgier and your silhouette sportier. The monogram & leopard chunky sneakers have a black mesh upper with a white monogram and a yellow leopard print on the tongue, a stability insole and an anti-slip rubber outsole.
With leggings or cycling shorts and an oversized sweater: sporty and comfortable. With wide-leg trousers: the thick sole keeps the proportions balanced. With a yellow accent: a yellow top or cap picks up the leopard print nicely.
Leopard is really a neutral. The brown tones go with beige, camel, black, white and denim. The leopard print sneakers have a faux suede finish, a foam insole and a breathable mesh lining. Pair them with a beige trench coat and jeans for an easy autumn look.
If you walk a lot, a knitted sneaker is comfortable. The Signature twisted sole sneakers have a lightweight 3D knit upper that fits your foot like a sock, colourful motifs and a striking braided sole. Wear them with a plain black set or joggers so the motifs and the sole stand out.
Plain outfit + printed sneaker: always works. Print on print: only when the pattern or colours repeat. Skirt or dress: low-top or slip-on. Wide-leg or sporty trousers: chunky sneaker.
Canvas sneakers are best washed by hand. Wipe chunky and knitted styles clean with a damp cloth. That keeps the print looking good for longer.
