Looking effortlessly chic is the ultimate style goal for many women, but achieving it can sometimes be easier said than done. Luckily, the perfect pair of casual women’s sneakers can make all the difference in elevating your everyday look. Plus, you will be comfortable while looking great!
The rise of athleisure has been steady over the past few years. Amercians love our comfy clothes and we wear them as everyday outfits more than most cultures. Sneakers have become wardrobe basics and I’m referring mostly to fashion sneakers, not the kind you wear for sports or exercise.
In this post we will look at the top styles and brands to consider as well as how to style them for a cool and comfortable look.
What To Look For In Casual Women’s Sneakers
Most importantly we want sneakers that are comfortable and fit correctly. Experiment with different brands and see what fits your needs the best. Some brands are better for wide feet, and some are more narrow fitting.
It’s important to choose a versatile sneaker that can be dressed up or down. Meaning you could wear them with jeans or a dress. If you want to minimize the amount of shoes you purchase, then choose a neutral white or black casual sneaker. White will be the most versatile and they look good with everything.
Investing in a good quality basic sneaker will pay off in the long run, especially if you plan to wear them a lot. This would be your go-to everyday sneaker that you wear with pretty much everything.
Top Styles Of Casual Women’s Sneakers
Retro Inspired
The main trend in casual sneakers is the retro look. Think about the shoes you may have worn in the 80’s or 90’s. Throwback track and field inspired looks are also trending for 2025.
Adidas is a very popular brand, and I’m sure you have seen the viral Adidas Sambas. This shoe is a great throw back, yet updated look. I have a black pair, and I also have some look for less styles similar to the Adidas.
Fashion Sneakers
Fashion sneakers are not designed for sports or working out, they are as the name implies more of a fashion accessory. They are comfortable and perfect for walking, traveling, and dressing down any outfit.
Consider a pair like these from Cushionaire. The Belinda Lace Detail Fashion Sneaker is one my personal new purchases for 2025. The laces are feminine ribbons, and they also comes with regular tan laces.
Here I styled them with some wide leg pants and a puff sleeve sweatshirt from Aerie.
Dolce Vita is one of the best brands for fashion sneakers. My white leather pair has lasted going on three years now! Here are several styles by this brand:
