We love sneakers—they’re comfortable, quick, and simple for everyday wear. But there’s a trick to wearing them without feeling like a kid. We turned to some of our favorite bloggers to show you how to lace up those tennies like the grown-ass woman you are.

 

Casual Sunday

 

 

Turn your favorite childhood staples into adult versions like Julie from Sincerely Jules. She paired her tan sneakers with distressed overalls and a plain white tee—perfect for running errands around town or taking your pup on a stroll through the park.
