How to get away with wearing your favourite shoes to the office

It’s the ultimate dream, isn’t it? To live in nothing but sneakers every day. From work to weekend, your feet could look fresh and feel comfortable. It’s not impossible – there is a way. Aside from securing a job that embraces smart-casual style, here are the general rules to get away with wearing sneakers around the office.

Keep them clean

At. All. Times. The minute sneakers get scuffed they go from smart to shabby so do your best to keep them neat. Once they start looking tired, save them for weekends only and move on to a fresh pair.

Just because LeBron James makes hi-tops look baller with a suit, doesn’t mean you should try the same during business hours. Keep things professional and streamlined with minimalist designs, like the sneakers by WANT Les Essentials and Diemme.

It’s not just about the sneakers, you need to consider the suit too. Look for slim trousers and get them tailored to the right length. Mix blazers with plain t-shirts or even try a sweatshirt that toes the line between smart and casual.
