Monochrome Suit: Sneakers v. Heels

Could you?  Would you?  I double dare you!

It’s always fun to follow fashion trends as they come and go.  I myself have jumped on a few trend bandwagons; bellbottoms, butterfly clips, mini backpacks, sweater vests and peplum everything!  

I’ve always been a person that loved trends but let’s be real; loving a trend and actually incorporating it IRL are two totally different things.

For example, low waisted jeans.  Like, why?  Why?  Why was that EVER like a thing?! 

Or how about platform black slides?  Your’s truly, definitely had a pair of Steve Madden knock-offs when I was in middle school.  It was very Posh Spice; a Great Value™ Posh Spice but still…

But one trend that I can totally get behind proudly is wearing sneakers with suits.

I love how effortlessly stylish a monochrome suit is and it’s not rocket science to figure out that pairing a killer heel with it would look absolutely amazing.

There is just something about the addition of a sneaker that completely changes the feel of the look from “Miranda Priestly serious” to more of “Ellen” playful and fun.

I’ve seen so many variations of this look on the streets of New York during fashion week and with celebrities too — think Solange, Rihanna, Zendaya, Gigi Hadid and Tracee Ellis Ross.

All sneaker /suit queens.  👸🏿👸🏾👸🏼👸🏻

The key about wearing a trend is to own it!  Make it your own so it looks authentically you and less like a gimmick.

The core of my personal style is modern romantic feminine classics.  I love timeless pieces because, guess what?!  They will always work!

So the monochrome pink suit is very a la Thamarr because you know, pink is kinda my thing.  But my grey runners add a perfect neutral balance against the bright pink and anchors the look quite nicely.

I love how real world wearable this ‘fit is.  It’s stylish and practical.  I don’t have to skip on style or comfort and want to try this with a suit of a different material, maybe linen or pin stripes?!  Lucy Hale recently wore a pin stripe suit to absolute perfection. 

Of course I couldn’t style this awesome suit without a pair of pink heels. I love a little style drama and these pink glittery shoes are the best kind.

So which look do you prefer?  Suit and Sneakers or Suit and Heels?  Let me know in the comments below!
