Once reserved for occasions of exercise, the aptly named sneaker has well and truly snuck into our day-to-day wardrobes, where it shows no sign of imminent departure.

The continued rise of athleisure has been well documented, and sneakers have certainly established a strong footing in the closets of the world’s most stylish.

And it’s not hard to see why. The right pair of sneakers can be used to achieve any look – be it polished, fashion-forward, classic or elevated casual.

Though worthy of year-round affection, a sneaker really comes into its own around October.

Too cold for sandals? Sneakers. Might rain later? Sneakers. No summer pedicure yet? Sneakers.

These comfortable outfit heroes can save your frilly, feminine frocks from too much time in the closet, with a crisp pair of sneakers having the ability to dress down a dress from special-occasion-only, to just-popping-out-for-coffee.

Likewise, peeping out from a pair of suit trousers, sneakers give those structured fancy pants a less pretentious and more practical update.
