     11 Sneakers You Can Wear With a Suit

Everyone expects you to wear dress shoes with your suits. But some style rules are made to be broken. 

Sport a fresh pair of sneakers instead.

Don’t laugh. Sneakers will help you liven up a classic look, and show everyone you can wear the hell out of tailored clothing. 

But you can’t just throw on your comfiest running kicks with a bulky suit. Your suit needs to be modern, fitted, and sleek—and so do your sneakers. 

Find your perfect pair on this list. 

CLASSIC LOW-TOPS

These stark Stan Smiths provide a cool white pop to a navy fitted suit.

NAVY LOW-TOPS

Save these for summer. Navy sneakers pair well with tan or light gray suits.

BOLD LOW-TOPS

These cobalt blue sneaks pair seamlessly with a sharp navy suit. Wearing two different shades of one color will help keep your look put together.

CONVERSE HIGH-TOPS

Pair these high-tops with pants that have a little longer of a leg. You’ll get the casual sneaker feel without showing the entire shoe.

SUEDE HIGH-TOPS

Create a sophisticated tonal look with light gray high-tops and a gray suit.

TEXTURED HIGH-TOPS

You can easily swap your go-to black dress shoes with these sneakers. The textured material is cool, but the color will keep your whole look understated.

LEATHER HIGH-TOPS

Need a replacement for your brown leather brogues? Wear these and you’ll look a little more casual, but just as sharp.

TEXTURED SLIP-ONS

These slip-ons have a smooth suede and embossed snake print that liven up a muted color. The bold texture on a neutral color adds an easy pop to a standard suit. 

SIMPLE SLIP-ONS

 A clean white sneaker always looks sharp. The Velcro detailing here is a bit of a throwback, so we’d pair it with a slim-cut, contemporary suit in a dark shade.

COLORED SLIP-ONS

Deep burgundy looks chic with a charcoal suit.

STANDARD SLIP-ONS


Classic Vans add a cool California vibe to any modern suit. Wear them without socks.

SPLURGE

Once you’re a pro at wearing sneakers with a suit, invest in a standout pair. Keep your look sophisticated with a simple shaped sneaker in a bold color.
