Wear the entire linen outfit together, including the blazer, pants, and vest, or mix and match to create endless outfit combinations. This example shows how a three-piece suit paired with a pair of “hyped” sneakers, such as this New Balance pair, can give a more relaxed look to a otherwise buttoned-up outfit.

The cable-knit set paired with the matching skirt is a classic example of prep. Although one would expect to see classic white tennis sneakers, like Supergas or Keds with the outfit, we love the unconventional choice. Charlotte Groeneveld chose Nike Air More Uptempo sneakers.

The spring is full of florals in flowing styles, which are usually seen on dresses and skirts. Consider a pair printed pants made from a lightweight fabric such as silk or cotton if flowers are not your thing. The cheetah pattern is a less sweet, but still bold alternative to floral prints. Pairing animal prints with white sneakers is a great way to make them less intimidating. The casual and simple vibe of the sneakers helps to tone down the boldness and make cheetah prints pants more wearable.
