Sneakers in Business Style

Let’s talk sneakers in business style. Yes, it’s a thing, and no, we’re not talking about your marathon trainers or beat-up Converse from undergrad.

The modern workplace is evolving, and so is your footwear. Sneakers are no longer a fashion faux pas—they’re a style strategy, if you do it right.

When Sneakers Work:

✔️ Casual Fridays – Keep it clean and elevated. Think minimalist leather or suede
✔️ Creative Presentations – When the vibe is modern, polished, and expressive
✔️ Travel Days or Long Events – Comfort is smart—but make it chic

✘ When to Skip:

🚫 Big pitches, boardroom meetings, or high-stakes first impressions
🚫 Worn-out soles, busy prints, or logos the size of your résumé

✔️ Style-Approved Sneaker Picks:

🧠 Style Tip:

If you wouldn’t wear them to meet your CEO at Starbucks, don’t wear them to work. Keep them polished, sleek, and intentional with some personality sprinkled on top!

Sneakers in business style aren’t a lazy choice; they’re a power move when done right.
