Half the outfits in these recent street style looks at the Menswear fashion shows are sporting sneakers. Quite amazing.

Fun! I will happily wear my sneakers… AND my sandals AND my boots! They're fun for a change of pace, but I'd be bored to tears if I had to wear sneaks all the time. Glad we have so many fashionable options right now.

I have not had sneakers in my closet for years and now I have four pair. Over kill? I think not.

Loved the pics! Also loved the sockless brogues/loafers/shoes. Would love to be there, sitting on a bench, watching these people walk by.....

LOVE!!!

In addition to sneaks, I note:

Shoes with wings on them. (Shades of Mercury).

Kimonos different from last year's -- even more oversize, worn with belts like bathrobes.

SUITS!!!

Pinstripe, shorts, pink, matching, unmatched.....doesn't matter to me. Love them all!

I would love to do this... but note that all of the people shown are MUCH younger than me. I will be in NYC this weekend and (as always) will be looking to see what people are wearing.

I'm cheering from the sidelines with all of you.

The message is not that you HAVE TO wear sneakers to be hip - it's that you can make them intentionally fashionable. This is what 2014 is all about. Booties, Birkies, Sneakers, Sandals, Loafers, Pumps, Wedges, Oxfords. ALL OF IT. And I hope that this level of fashion freedom is here to stay. We are truly living in very exciting fashion times.

Suz, there are usually lots of women wearing suits to menswear fashion shows. I share your suit love by a billion percent. High five.

Isis, I've been wearing my silver mirrored oxfords sock-less and lace-less for a while. Love it. I wear them like silver ballet flats, and highly recommend that look.

Oh no. The sparse representation is making me think, Birks are "so last year." I'm sticking with them though. My Zara Birk esque slides are almost worn out. They are that practical. For reasons mentioned before I will only nominally be participating in the sneaker revolution.

Hah. Denise. Don't worry. Birkies are STILL all the rage.

I'm happy to see comfortable footwear options. And curious if sneakers will triumph over time because once one goes for comfort, won't it be tough to go back to something else? Time will tell!

I love all the 'crazy' shoes Angie!
I have brand new Birks ready for the warmer weather here, and can't wait to wear them.
Still will let my girls wear the sneaker look on my behalf though...

Life is so funny, so are our eyes. LOL.

I spent almost my entire college years wearing white keds with everything. Then for 25 years ( except for hiking, exercising, etc ) I NEVER wore sneakers. Now, I can't wait to wear them and I just love the looks.

It's lovely how varied fashion is these days, and how it cycles around in your life. I wore sneakers so much as a kid, later again when I did lots of walking as an exchange student at university, made the move to oxfords and other flats a few years ago, and have just gotten back into sneakers with a $15 pair of canvas laceless slip-ons!

Yay! Sneakers, birkies and booties are my favorite footwear right now. I particularly love pairing sneaks with dressy pants and skirts - besides boyfriend jeans, of course.

Oh, this slide show took my breath away! This is what I miss in summer ... it's just too hot to wear this much clothing, I think that is the problem. I miss all the texture and layering. I could spend all day looking at these images and getting inspired! Hurry, fall!!!!!!!

Now, I NEED more sneakers (which I will get, in black or charcoal) -- and I WANT a windowpant suit with cropped, slim, tapered pants like that fabulous blonde in the photos (will not get, but will dream about).

ETA: And a little piece of me wants to dye my short hair bright lilac.

You know what I'm also thrilled to see in these, bright hot orange/reds! I just found a geometric shiny minimalist vinyl bag in this color at Goodwill and suddenly all my white, gray, and bright outfits look SO MUCH IMPROVED to me with this orange wildcard.

I also like how tattoos (and therefore year round floral l) have become incredibly common. Around our neck of the woods (PNW) I wonder if it's going to become a very visible generational divide after awhile?

I'm still a little hesitant to wear them with skirts but I am getting there.

I can't wait to try more looks with sneaks...but it had to go to 60F or below first! I especially want to try dresses and skirts. I think I did it once or twice, but only for photos to post here (for K/R). There was a super sexy crazy cheap James Perse ruched tank dress that I left behind because I thought I could never wear it... but sneakers might do the trick to tone it down!

ETA: I went back for the dress! Yes, sneaks will do the trick.
