Going the Sneakers Way!

After spending almost a month of travelling in harsh summers in flip flops and getting my feet tanned a fifty shades of brown, I have finally decidedly to follow a fashion trend – a trend that has been around for a few years now and going by the current fashion scene, this trend does not looks like fading out anytime soon.

I am trading in my flip flops for the more comfortable and protective (and of course fashionable!) sneakers.
Yes! High time! And here are my top 3 reasons to go the sneakers way!

1. Fit for the fashionistas and fashion noobs alike

I will be honest that initially I was a wee bit apprehensive about dress and sneakers combination, wondering whether this pairing is everyone's cup of tea, err, fashion. But after seeing relatively non-fashion conscious people taking to this trend, thanks to the perfect fusion of comfort and style factor, I too am convinced to give this trend a shot!

2. Trendy AND comfortable!

Fashionistas and celebrities have been rocking the dress and sneakers combo both on and off the ramp shows. And now in peak summers, this trend again seems to be the most popular one on the streets - for when flip-flops seem ultra-casual and also give you those ugly tan lines, sneakers are the perfect alternative to not just keep the feet covered, but also give you the sporty chic look.

3. Array of styles and colours!

Paisley prints, glitters, neon, multi-coloured, sporty, sleek...ah the array of styles and colours these sneakers are available in is just unbelievable to a fashion noob like me. I was browsing a few popular online shopping websites a while ago and I am left amazed at the sneakers collection that is listed on them! From immensely popular brands to the relatively unknown, there's a plethora of options to pick from!

So as I place my order for a couple of pretty Adidas shoes that will go superbly with my sporty dresses, I am regretting why I did not come around earlier. Too bad, it took an ugly pair of bad tanned feet to realise that a fashion trend and comfort can go together! But then, as the wise men say - better late, than never! So for summer travels, bye-bye flips flops and sandals, AND welcome sneakers!
