If you ask me to describe my style, I would use words like, comfy and relaxed. I am from Mumbai, after all. But just because I like to keep things simple, doesn’t mean i don’t have an eye for fashion trends – I mean it is my job!! If you spent your childhood in a pair of Converse or even Nike Air Force 1s, you are no stranger to the idea that sneakers can be more than just handy — they can make a statement. And honestly my feet are jumping with joy!

It’s 2015 and sneakers are here to replace every pair of high heels in your closet. I’m not talking about those hidden-wedge nonsense shoes that leave your feet just as sore as any other pair of high heels. I’m talking about, real honest-to-God, flat on the ground, high top, low top, lace up sneakers. And the best part is that you can wear them with everything, from jeans to dresses and skirts. Don’t believe me, here are 9 pictures to prove you wrong and get you inspired to jump on this sneaker-obsessed bandwagon.

You can never go wrong with a pair of Converse Chucks. Pair with jeans, shorts, dresses or skirts. It’s a great day shoe and still very much in fashion, especially on the streets.

I love that work-out sneakers have found a way out of the gym. What’s even better, is that they come in amazing colours that you can mix and match with your outfits.

I often ask girls why they love wearing heels so much, and 99 times out of a 100 I get the, “I’m not that tall, I can’t be wearing flats“. Girls, you know who you are. But honestly, is it worth the pain and the knee problems? I say that now, sneakers are the new heels!

Even if you don’t fancy yourself the sporty type, we swear the sneaker can become part of your go-to shoe selection. So, whether you’re headed out on a first date, or just need some fresh office-wear inspiration, this is a style worth giving a try.
