Styling High Top Sneaks

Echo

I recently purchased a pair of high top sneakers. I love them; they are very comfy and even DH likes the way they look. But I haven't worn sneaks for so long that I am at a loss about how to style them. I wear a lot of darker colours, which might make styling these even more difficult (even though they are "marshmallow" and not bright white). But I want to wear them and make them work, so I was wondering if anyone has photos of their own or blog photos or even just suggestions about styling these. I have become quite rusty with casual outfits!

I think those will be super with cream or white bottoms. I've found that light sneaks and dark bottoms work best when there is a lighter color repeated at the top.

Those are cute! I think you'll find them very versatile. I like to wear mine with skinny jeans and chinos. I like the pants legs rolled a little or slouched over the top of the shoe. Looking through my photos, it seems I wear mine with bootcuts, too. Here are some photos.

Loveth these sneakers...I went back to the site and read about them...quite an interesting pair of fun... part of the Alexander McQueen collection, inspired by famed climber Robert Fulton Scott...And that is just the beginning of what a neat fashion statement you can make...
I guess I would just wear them with whatever casual bottoms you have..like I wouldn't try to match the pants with the marshmallow color...They are neutral and would go with whatever you paired them with...You could bookend a fabulous top with the sneaks...I can see a creme sweatshirt, jeans and the wonderful sneakers..In my opinion, these are definitely a fashion statement and would make whatever you put them with...equally fab...Hope this helps...

Those are super cute! I love them.

I pretty much wear mine in summer only due to our weather. I wear them as others say, with casual bottoms including jeans, shorts, and skirts. I also wear with my white jeans a lot. Or sometimes (rarely) with black ponte pants as Angie wore hers one time.

Leather ones are more season spanning. I would still tend to wear with lighter items, esp. if I didn't have light hair. In my climate, this light colour would be a bit tricky for most of the winter. But YMMV.

Those are cute Echo. I would just keep them with your black jeans and dark pants and let the marshmallow just pop. That way it becomes sort of a "color" if you know what I mean, the focus. I like that idea!
