Nothing screams comfort quite like the sneaker. And yet, this colossal level of easement doesn’t have to equate to being underdressed. If anything, the warmer weather proves that curating a robust rotation of summer sneaker outfits is as effortless as the shoe itself. Although we adore a curated Pilates ensemble, the following sneakers can be worn for much more than a post-reformer class stroll. We can thank the Adidas, Nike, and New Balance for pushing the off-duty sneaker into greater realms—and celebrity It girls, like Emily Ratajkowski, and Bella Hadid, who have further cemented the sneaker as a bonafide style symbol.

As for how to make it your own? There are plenty of ways to unify taste and solid arch support. A sweeping checked dress from Kallmeyer looks unexpectedly en vogue when complemented by a pair of Puma Speedcats. Prefer to welcome the sporty codes of today into your repertoire? A cropped balloon-sleeve jacket and striped boxer-style shorts go hand-in-hand with Proenza s butter yellow trainers. There’s a sneaker outfit for the work week, too—just pair a slip skirt, button-up shirt, and Dries Van Noten sneakers together. There’s more where that came from, too. Ahead, six summer sneaker outfits, for the office, the weekend, and beyond.
With a Linen Blouse and Pleated Pants
A roomy linen blouse from Massimo Dutti, wide-leg pleated pants from Kallmeyer, and a pair of Veja’s prove that the modern workwear wardrobe has come a long (and chic) way.

With a Printed Maxi Dress and a Basket Bag
One of our favorite ways to wear sneakers during the spring and summer? With dresses, of course! A checked print and green woven bag adds all the color and detail you’d need.

With a Matching Striped Set and Tote Bag
Consider it one-and-done with a matching set. Play up the pink-ish tones by going matchy-matchy with a pair of poppy Nike sneakers.

With a Sporty Jacket and Shorts
Athleisure is in! But these aren’t the legging-and-sneaker combinations of the past. Make it fashion-forward with a balloon-sleeve jacket and striped cotton shorts. Then, keep it casual with Proenza Schouler’s multi-colored trainers.

With a Striped Tee and a Poplin Skirt
During the warmer months, we can’t get enough of the billowy cotton poplin skirt—for good reason. There are so many ways to wear this seasonal essential. Take the weekend route and team yours with a striped baby T-shirt, jumbo raffia bag, and bright blue Autry sneakers.

With a Powder Pink Button-Up and Slip Skirt
A pale pink button-up shirt lends a hint of color to an otherwise neutral ensemble. Let a pair of Dries Van Noten sneakers anchor the look with minimal fanfare.

With a Strapless Top and Bermuda Shorts
Make the weekends a more comfortable affair without sacrificing style with The Row’s distressed sneakers. Add a raffia clutch (for summer’s sake) and a strapless top from St. Agni.

A casual pair of jeans gets a burst of off-duty model energy thanks to Adidas Samba’s and Lapointe’s lightweight cape top.
