Since I injured my back last weekend, flats/sneakers have been my go-to (both out of comfort and necessity). I’ve been kind of a flats-only streak for the most part this past fall and winter other than the odd heel thrown in here and there, but now more than ever, the term “practical” is key. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just want a break from heels, click through to read 3 tips on styling up your sneaks!

Go for a long coat
I love the look of a major statement coat (a big teddy coat or longer one like this Simons moss green one) with understated Converse, especially with skinny jeans and a casual tee.
Do the femme-sporty juxtaposition
Especially when temps are still low, I love the idea of a longer, boho dress, leather jacket and chunky scarf with sneakers. Comfy but ultimately, really cool.
Slouch it up
Tapered pants, oversized sweater and a moto jacket—done! The ultimate weekend warrior look, especially with some big shades and well-loved bag.

Hi Alex, I read with attention your always so interesting post and liked very much both the look and your tips. Really inspiring.
But what about your back? I'm a little worried for you. Really hope it isn't anything serious. But let me know please, ok?
Flats and sneakers are not only a necessity for comfort and praticality but can also be style and fashion. And you, just here, prove it with clearness and style.
I have a little tip for you too though: to look more fashionable this year the skinny jeans should be rolled up quite a bit more, almost up to calf-lenght, with 1 or 2 more cuffs. And if you feel your ankles too bare, just wear one or more silver anklets to embellish them!
But if the pants shorten then never forget to cover your head with a your beanie and to wear a thin scarf, identical for shade and fabric to the hat, and possibly matched with the sneakers.
Lots of love,xoxo
