How to style the sneakerina shoe trend in 2025
The obvious challenge that sneakerina shoes appear to present is the tug of war between two conflicting styles. Do you use the shoe to add a sporty touch to a feminine ‘fit or to bring a feminine feel to athleisure? But actually, both are great ways to rock this trend, and if you’d prefer to take the look in a whole different direction, neither is mandatory. Some fashionistas are using the shoes’ cutting-edge design to bring a coolness to safer, more classic outfits that aren’t otherwise balletic or outdoorsy. It might sound outrageous, but those confident enough could pair sneakerinas with pantsuits, culottes, or maxi dresses.
Of course, they also work within the realms of balletcore styling, activewear ensembles, or a combo of both. “I’d pair them with a midi skirt and a tucked-in shirt to balance that feminine-come-sporty style,” says fashion expert Karine Laudort (via BreakingNews.ie). And while going for an unexpected pantsuit might land superbly, the expert warns against matching sneakerinas with anything too formal as “their casual elements can clash with more traditional formalwear.” She also suggests excessive material and heavy garments “that can overwhelm or imbalance the look.”
Now, if the balletcore fashion aesthetic is calling, sneakerinas are the perfect way to complement pieces like tights, bodysuits, sheer skirts, and blush-pink palettes. Otherwise, lean into the activewear side by wearing the shoes with athleisure staples, from leggings and sweatpants to hoodies and rugby shirts. Accessorizing is the key to bringing your athleisure outfits to the next level, so if you don’t have a baseball cap or some simple jewelry at hand, just reach for your eye-catching sneakerinas.
