Today, sneakers are the most popular shoes. In both men’s and women’s arsenal, they have long displaced the usual everyday solutions. And it’s understandable – there are many more options. From stylistic versatility to comfort and functionality. If all this can be competently combined, then, rest assured, the choice will be the most successful. You will get a shoe that will replace several pairs at once.
What to focus on in the search?
First, you need to take into account the external conditions. If you need shoes for early spring, looking for those functional features that will allow you to move without problems on puddles and not be afraid of mud. And here we are waiting for a fashionable luck – massive models are still in trend. For the off-season it is better to bet on products made of leather. If you take synthetics, it is important to have rubberized areas in strategic places. In general, you can’t do without advanced technology.

Secondly, you need to consider the internal conditions. This is where it’s both about what you like and what your personal fashion goals and closet occasions are. Do you like to stand out from the crowd or prefer neutral elegance? Can you go to work in something out of the ordinary or do you have to play by someone else’s rules? There are solutions for every scenario and request.
Base Colors
For those who value calmness and versatility, neutral shades will do. White, black, navy, brown, beige, khaki – these are all base colors. They are the perfect background, combined with any clothes. Such sneakers are the best investment in the closet.
If from the whole list you saw only “black”, do not hurry – this is not the most universal option. First, in fact, it is quite marred. Dried dirt and cracks are strongly visible on the surface of such a color. If the shoe is suede, then even in general – scratches and “grayed” areas will appear very soon. Secondly, black does not suit everyone. Often it looks heavy, draws attention to itself.
Much more universal base will be gray and brown sneakers. Khaki – also a good solution. White, milk, beige – an option to choose. Of course, they will get dirty.

Bright and colorful
If you’re tired of dull winter days and want to stand out from the crowd, buy sneakers that will be seen from afar. Considering the massiveness, they will definitely not go unnoticed. By the way, brightness and hypertrophied volume are perfectly combined.
It will be safest to use them with background things – neutral in color coat, suit. But you can be bold. Combine the incongruous, increase the degree of brightness! Show yourself and not be afraid to break stereotypes – this is another important trend.
The hardest thing is to find such models for men. If they are offered massiveness, then in neutral shades. But nothing is impossible. Perhaps the pair will be from the category of fantasy. These are those options that combine both unusual design and bold color. We will talk about them further.
Everything is not easy
Of course, these solutions are for amateurs. They are chosen more often by representatives of creative professions, celebrities. In general, if you want to guarantee to stand out from the crowd, bet on complex design solutions.
There and futuristic silhouettes, and unusual detailing, and the most unexpected coloring. Of course, you can not get too carried away, limited only to an intricate shape or neon color. It’s also worth remembering that you still have to walk in them. Beauty and unusualness should not come before practicality. The exception is when a pair is purchased as a collector’s item.
