Trend How-To: Sneaker Time!

If you are as into your shoes as I am, the designer sneaker has been on your radar for some time. Thus far there have been few to rival the Isabel Marant sneaker but I think with the Marc by Marc Jacobs sneakers finally in stock we have a pretty close rival!

With fashion week looming, the pressure to find a killer wardrobe is mounting so I thought I would bring you some high end picks as well as some budget alternatives.

I love the inbuilt heel that some of these sneakers sport, which is super comfortable and adds height. Otherwise opt for a metallic finish or fun pastel colour for something outside the box. Celebrities like Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whitely have jumped onto the trend as well as notable fashion bloggers like Tuula Vintage and the Man Repeller.

Check out our shopping guide below as well as some celebs wearing the trend for some style inspiration.

    I wear a lot of flats now I have kids, but sneakers still seem quite ugly to me.

    I like the semi-heel sneakers, not pictured, that J.Lo made fashionable about 7 years ago and the wedge ones I’ve seen in stores look nice – but they don’t need to be designer and I only like the Black ones in the article.

    ow gross. This is possibly the worst trend that has hit the streets. Cannot believe people actually wear this.
