So we know sneakers probably aren't at the top of anyone's list when it comes to work-appropriate footwear. Even though many workplaces are starting to take a more relaxed approach to dress codes, life would be a lot easier if we could all wear sneakers to work on the daily: No more dreaded shoe changes on the bus or in the car, no more twisted ankles, and no more blisters by lunch time. Sounds like a perfect world, doesn't it? I'm drooling already. Believe it or not, with the right pieces and clever styling, you could probably get away with wearing sneakers for a week straight — without any trouble from HR. I dare you to try it, but of course I'd encourage double-checking your office's policies first. Here's some foolproof sneaker-wearing tips, because it is possible to wear a pair and still look polished and professional enough for a one-on-one with your boss: With Pencil Skirts You can style your sneakers with a pencil skirt and finish it off with a versatile, professional-looking handbag, and minimal jewelry. No one will even notice you're wearing trainers. (And if they do, they'll probably compliment how amazing you look.) With Tailored Pants If you don't already own a pair, it's time to invest in an all-white sneaker that definitely goes with everything — inside and outside of the office. You can wear sneakers to work with sophisticated trousers and a jacket without looking mismatched. The unexpected pairing will have you blushing at compliments all day. With Denim Another way to make sure a sneaker doesn't feel like it's for the gym is to pair it with a navy or black blazer and denim for Fridays. You can go straight from work to 'Thank God It's Friday' drinks with the girls.
