Who can argue that when it comes to going out [1], we're most comfortable in sneakers [2]? Try as we might, we're unable to find a heel that we can actually stand/walk/move in for more than a few hours. If the plan calls for dancing, we're taking a tip from Kylie Jenner and styling a body-con dress with trainers and high socks, and if we're popping over to the bar, Sofia Richie has the best idea that involves tailored leather shorts and a blazer. Meanwhile, Bella Hadid ups the ante with platform soles and slitted jeans to show them off.
Sure, you may not be able to style a wedding-guest dress with your favourite low-tops, but if it's just a dinner date, wear the damn sneakers. The 39 looks ahead will encourage you to live a little and loosen up about the dress code. There are so many ways to be the most stylish person in the room in high-tops [3], and we won't take that back for anything. Your favourite influencers and actors do it all the time, so pin their outfits to your mood board and follow suit. No matter which ensemble speaks to you, we broke it down into supersimple steps so you'll be calling an Uber in no time at all and fielding compliments left and right when you get to the party.
