HIGH TOP SNEAKER

While men have no problem embracing high top sneakers, women have been more reserved about the style. This season, however, the style is a favorite amongst female fashionist­as. They have proven that high tops can work, and now it’s your turn to try the style. There’s no need to feel unsure or afraid of this sneaker, as long as you know the look that you are after.

CHUNKY SPORT SNEAKER

The fashion elite are loving chunky sports-style sneakers. The padded shoes, which feature grooved, highgrip soles and athletic details are perfect, putting the spring back into your step. While they may remind you of the ’80s or even take you back to your old days of playing netball, we promise that when styled right, chunky sports sneakers can be totally chic.

STATEMENT SNEAKER

Fashion loves a statement, and the current sneaker trend is no exception to this rule. While the seas of white sneakers prove the undeniable popularity of the simple and clean shade, there’s always room for a pop of colour in the wardrobes of the fashion elite. Whether you’re a fan of red, blue, now’s your time to make a statement with your shoes. Not a fan of bold colours? No problem. How about just some coloured laces? There’s a sneaker style to suit everyone this season.

METALLIC SNEAKER

While the world’s best athletes have been going for gold in Rio, the world’s top street style stars have been going for gold on their feet. High shine, metallic sneakers have popped up as one of the top shoe trends of the season with all our favorite fashion girls sporting them. While gold is undoubtedl­y a winning colour, silver and rose gold are also top picks for these fashionabl­e pieces of footwear. Pick up your own metallic sneakers now to add an injection of “look at me” style into your everyday wardrobe.

FLATFORM SNEAKER

If you’re looking for something a bit edgier than your regular sneaker, why not try a pair of flatform sneakers? Flatform (flat+platform) sneakers are regular sneakers that feature a flat sole that is thicker than average (usually about an inch or so). The unique look has a heavy and somewhat masculine appeal that is perfect for creating an outfit

with attitude.
