Sandals, heels, and boots have always been my go-to, but this season, I’m turning over a new leaf. I’m craving comfort without sacrificing style, and the answer to that is none other than cool sneakers. But hold up, just because I’m not rocking the hottest kicks yet doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s in. With my sister’s constant raving about the latest drops, and my job as a fashion market researcher, I’ve absorbed so much sneaker information that I need to share it with you all. Lucky for you, this assignment came just in time!

Cool sneakers have the power to elevate any outfit, giving it that extra oomph. Whether you want to go minimal or make heads turn, whether you need a pair to complement your oversized shirt and jeans or match your cute new gymwear set from the most adorable brand, you’ll find your favorite sneakers right here. Personally, I can already picture myself styling mine with a linen top, a bomber jacket, sunnies, and a long denim skirt. Trust me, these editor-approved and celeb-favorite kicks won’t let you down.
