We all love ourselves some statement shoes with higher-than-thou heels, killer details and an enhanced elongated look. But if we’re being totally honest here, nothing beats the comfort of a good-old pair of sneakers.

Luckily for us, sneakers are no longer associated with fitness activities, as they’ve now been turned into the go-to shoes for the fashion-inclined, going perfectly with their daywear style as much as their nighttime outings. Now more than ever, these comfortable shoes are enjoying the limelight – think Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Balenciaga, amongst others. And the best thing about it is that you’re not restricted to certain attires. Want to wear them with a dress? Go for it! Want to wear them with a pantsuit for a day at the office? Then by all means, go ahead!

Heck, people are going as far as wearing them under their bridal gowns, so who are we to judge? This trend makes the getting-ready process that much easier and the result looks fa-bu-lous.

So if you want to make up for lost time, you’re in luck. We’ve scoured the best sneakers to show off your effortless style in the Photo Gallery below.
