When sorting out my wardrobe every season, one of the main things I aim to achieve is a collection of clothing, shoes, and accessories that can easily be mixed and matched. There is something so satisfying about this, knowing that I get more wears out of my pieces, and it also makes for easier dressing every day. One shoe trend lately that is helping me accomplish just that is the Adidas Samba sneaker. Not only do the It sneakers go with all my jeans and trousers, but also they are surprisingly versatile when it comes to the dress department.
Dresses are notoriously tricky to style when it comes to pairing them with the right shoes, but the Samba sneakers somehow manage to give all the latest dress trends a cool, fashion-forward boost. I’m talking everything from the classic slip dress to sweaterdresses, and even easy-breezy summer favorites. Keep scrolling to shop the trendy sneakers and to peruse a stylish selection of dress-and-sneaker outfit inspiration.
The Sneakers
These Samba sneakers sell out often, but don’t lose hope. Just keep checking back if your size isn’t available, as they are restocked regularly.
