What sneakers to wear in summer 2023 to be the most fashionable – and stylish ideas for the look

Summer has unexpectedly crept up, which means it’s time for travel, cycling and long evening walks. Of course, with a strong desire, you can do it all in heels, but we honestly do not recommend it. The conclusion is simple: sneakers will save you! In our material, we will tell you how to spend this warm time in comfort and style.

We think you remember the main trends of the 2000s: low rise, cropped tops and platform sneakers. There’s good news: the others are coming back. But that doesn’t mean you can pull the old Snickers out of your closet and wear them. Of course, fashion is cyclical, but this expression should not be taken literally.

In the summer of 2023, single-level platform sneakers will be relevant (without lifting at the heel level, as 15 years ago). Pay special attention to the classic models of platform conversions, which will be at the peak of popularity in the coming season.

“Metallic” pants, jeans and bright Jordans, judging by street style photos, have become a uniform for fashion. From which we conclude: another variation of trendy sneakers this summer are rich colors. These “sneakers” are relevant not only for a walk or to the university, but also for the red carpet (if you happen to be there).

In summer, you can wear bright sneakers with dresses, skirts or shorts, and in autumn – with pants or jeans. Such models can become a bright accent in a monochrome look, as well as part of a “color ring” in combination with accessories. Do you know this trick? It is super simple to make: shoes, bag, scarf, headdress or any other accent elements repeat the colors of each other so that the image is “collected” and as if complete.

Do you also think of Converse when you first mention sneakers? These star “sneakers” have long been a staple model in the footwear wardrobe. Oversized bomber jackets, light feminine dresses, canvas shorts, suit pants or jeans – the good old classics will go well with almost every piece of your wardrobe. Converse has not lost its relevance for more than ten years – and you can always count on them.

Contrasting socks are new from the fashionista. It can be said that this is a continuation of the trend of color blocks. There are at least two possibilities. Try matching the socks to one of the colors you see on the sneakers – bright!

Or vice versa, pair your plain sneakers with a bright pair to learn the accent. Funny prints on socks are not prohibited, but they still remain a cute pun. Street stylists with experience stick to minimalism. But again, it’s all up to you!

Classic, basic and the most comfortable thing in the wardrobe – it’s all about white sneakers. In their eternal relevance, they can only compete with jeans (or with the desire to start a new life on Monday). You can talk endlessly about this model: it is comfortable and stylish and in most cases affordable.

But most importantly, it has an incalculable number of variations: with prints or smooth, flat or on a single-level platform, fabric or leather – all these are current models. After the summer season, when you can wear white sneakers with light dresses, shorts and skirts, pair them with classic pantsuits, jeans and, in autumn, maxi dresses.
