The slippers are for the summer
We love sandals but there are days when, we confess, we die to wear simple sneakers to work, for a walk, to have a drink … And since we assume that the same thing happens to all of us, we have looked to Instagram for inspiration until find the looks that are best with this type of footwear.

Short dresses might seem like an inappropriate garment to mix with simple sneakers, but seeing looks like Gala González's, there is no doubt that they can become best friends. Start by putting on your summer dresses with sneakers in simple shapes, like the classic Converse.

Another very smart solution is the one proposed by Sara Carbonero: wear them with a long dress, with a bohemian air and add an oversized denim jacket. We love!

If what you want is to put on your gym shoes because you have to face an exhausting day of tourism, you can be inspired by this look. You can wear your sneakers with an LBD and add accessories in the same style as your footwear, in this case they are quite futuristic so the instagramer , an expert in wearing only black and white, adds some reflective glasses and a mini backpack.

Jumpsuits have been (and still are) one of the star garments of this season and if they are anklets, like Laura's, they can be combined with boot slippers. They are ideal together!

Lingerie dresses are still a must this summer but if you want to update them a bit, you can give it the same 90s air that Alexandra achieves by adding a white t-shirt underneath and white sneakers.

This type of skirt may be one of the most flattering garments of this season and the best of all is that yes, they can be worn with sneakers if you wear a basic T-shirt or a crop top as the top.

As incredible as it may seem, the most formal dresses can also find a good ally in a simple canvas sneakers. In fact, they come in handy to be able to wear more often those more arranged dresses that we have cracking up in the closet.

As you know, this summer everything is matching. Coordinated ensembles have become the plague and stores have been filled with skirts and shorts in the exact same shades and states as tops and blouses. Dulceida has shown us that all those matching clothes look great with chunky sneakers like hers.

It is one of the prints that we have seen the most this summer. Whether in dresses, pants or overalls, the truth is that with white sneakers, the result is unbeatable.

Another look that has convinced us to wear our sneakers every day is this total black made up of a pencil skirt and a cropped top. Minimalist and extremely elegant. And it is that in summer you can also wear black.

Nothing goes better with sneakers than a sports-inspired look like this one. Gala wears her Converse with side-stripe white jeans and the result couldn't be more inspiring.

The most feminine and sophisticated style is not incompatible with wearing sneakers, on the contrary, they are wonderful to add balance to the look and give it an unexpected touch.

It is one of the most popular mixes but it should not be discarded for this reason: T-shirt, denim skirt and sneakers always combine perfectly.

If you are one of those who have to wear a suit even in summer, don't cut yourself and put them on with your favorite white sneakers. Also change the shirts for a basic shirt (it doesn't have to be cropped like here) and you will be spectacular.

Going all day in sandals is one of the great joys of summer but it is true that from time to time you want to return to the safety and comfort that a good pair of sports shoes offer us. Sometimes when we are going to walk more than necessary, the change is (almost) mandatory but other times it is simply a matter of style. And precisely if that is what you want to maintain, the style, here are a few tips from the instagramers of the moment.
How to wear sneakers with summer looks
- White hits everything. It is one of the most repeated maxims and it is totally true. If the sports shoes have a pattern or are of an intense tone, it will cost much more to combine them and create a balanced look. However, if you opt for white, you can take them with practically all of your summer wardrobe.
- Dresses are your best friends. If you have a good arsenal of short and long dresses you don't have to worry because you will find the ideal mix in the blink of an eye. Both the minimalist and the bohemian styles can fit perfectly with sneakers, you just have to pay attention to the details. For example, if you want to wear them with a slip dress, you will only have to add a white shirt underneath.
- Mini and maxi skirts. The sarong skirts are one of the most flattering garments of the season and even if they are made of a fabric as luxurious as silk, they will look great with white sneakers if you also wear a basic T-shirt or a cotton top. Promised. You can also wear them with a classic denim skirt, there is no option to make a mistake.
- Monkeys . We have been won over by how the sneakers look with a long jumpsuit, either plain or printed. The key is that it is an ankle length since that way they can be worn with both low-top and high-top sneakers.
