Sneakers you NEED to Have in Your Closet

I think a major fashion trend this summer that you need to get on this summer if you aren’t already on it is a sneaker. I love this trend because sneakers used to be seen as only something you could wear with athletic clothes. Now, everyone is just throwing sneakers on with any outfit and turning it into the cutest look. Today I’m going to be sharing with you my top 5 sneakers that you should have in your closet.

  1. Nike Air Force 1s

If you follow me on instagram, @cassiedenisco, then you know my love of these shoes. I have the special edition ones with the stars but the plain ones are just as cute. I absolutely love throwing these sneakers on with any outfit because they add such a cool vibe. I would absolutely invest in a pair of these sneakers because they can also transition really well into a fall shoe.

2. Adidas Super Stars

These are the perfect tennis shoes for wherever your summer will take you. I love these sneakers with shorts or even a t-shirt dress. I also love the little pop of color that they come with in the Adidas stripes on the side. I think you need both these and an Air Force 1 because they’re really two different vibes. The Air Force 1s are chunky and slim your leg but these are so comfortable and seriously go with everything.

3. Adidas XPLR

I would say that you could get really any type of running shoe, but I kid you not these are the most comfortable sneakers ever. I love to wear them to workout or even just running errands. I love the pink but I know that these sneakers come in more neutral colors as well. I wouldn’t wear these sneakers with any outfit but I do suggest these because they are so so comfortable.

4. Converse or Vans

I’m putting these two sneakers together because to me, they are pretty similar. I think that there is just something about Converse and Vans that makes it feel like summer. These sneakers are the perfect summer shoe because they are not too thick or heavy but will give you some support for whatever you’re doing.

5. Slip on Sneakers

Steve Madden is my go to for these types of sneakers. I have them in like every color and they are so comfortable. These sneakers are the best on days you want to look put together but are feeling super lazy. I absolutely love my all white ones for spring and summer because they make me look tanner and also slim my legs.

Whether you’re a big sneaker person or not, there’s no denying that the sneaker trend is here to stay. I absolutely love that sneakers are becoming such a big part in outfits because who doesn’t love high fashion but being comfortable at the same time?

Make sure to follow me on Instagram to follow how I style these shoes!

Summer Street Style Ideas

If you’re like me, then you’ve reached the point in the summer that jean shorts and a crop top just aren’t it anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love the comfort of them but I feel like they get old so quick in the summer. One trend that I am usually pretty hesitant to try is street style. If you know me, you know I’m a pastel, floral loving girl so the dark colors and structured apparel of street style is not something I usually try. I do however realize that it’s always good to try something new and being in a wardrobe rut this summer, I decided to style some pieces that would be perfect for a walk down 5th Ave this summer.

Cargo Pants

I was super hesitant to even try these pants on in the store. I just wasn’t sure how they would fit on my pretty curvy body but I ended up loving the structure to them. They’re cut like a jogger but they give such a cool vibe to them with the mesh cut outs in the knees. I decided to pair them with a bright neon green tube top and a white sneaker. This look screams street style and I seriously love this color combo. I think it’s perfect for summer.

Bike Shorts

The second I put these biker shorts on, I felt like Kim K. I mean, they are seriously comfortable but just not something that I usually gravitate towards. I found them to be so comfortable and really no different then leggings. I would even argue that these pants are even more comfortable then leggings for the summer because they’ll help to keep you cool. The night that I wore these was a little chilly so I put on this neon pink sweatshirt. I seriously love this combo of the tight shorts with a bigger hoody. Again, I paired it with my go to white sneakers and I thought this look was perfect. I also tried this look with just the same neon tube top from the cargo pants, and it looked great with that as well.

Black Skinny Jeans

I feel like so many people stay as far away from the color black in the summer as possible but I love it. I love my black skinny jeans and think they add such a cool vibe to any look. I paired these Top Shop Moto jeans with this super cute band tee from American Eagle. I love this outfit because it’s so comfy but looks so cool. This look is perfect for a night out for dinner or even just a day of shopping.

Iridescent

I tend to think iridescent clothes are definitely not for me but this tube top from Target is so fun. I paired it with my black Top Shop skirt and absolutely love this look. I think iridescent looks are perfect for summer because they’ll really play with the light from the sun. I do caution that not everything iridescent is cute and should be worn. While I was in search of something that was this cute, I came across a lot of festival pieces that wouldn’t really make sense in everyday life. This top is just enough fun that it’ll light up your night but not make you stand out like a sore thumb.

I really hope you enjoyed these looks! This post really forced me to get out of my style comfort zone and try something new. I actually have since purchased a few more pairs of biker shorts because I just love them so much. Let me know down below what your favorite look was and check out my IGTV for the outfit video!
