So, do I? This morning, I stumbled across an article in my Facebook feed titled “8 Times Sneakers Looked Absolutely Perfect with a Dress.” I was ready to celebrate! Only eight? Should I be concerned? After scrutinizing the images, I concluded that maybe six of them were spot on. Two were a bit off. Most featured classic white sneakers, which means I’m in need of a shopping spree since my collection is a rainbow of colors but lacks that essential white pair.
Not everyone in the comments seemed on board with the idea. Reactions varied from “No way” to claims that it’s “too ’80s,” with some even suggesting that such a look might be acceptable only in your own backyard. But why should I confine my style to my home?
Is there a permission slip I need to sign? Who do I need to contact for approval? They say that hitting your 40s grants you the wisdom to stop worrying about others’ opinions. I’m still waiting for that moment of clarity. I still care, but perhaps this is where I begin to embrace my individuality. So here it is: I’m declaring that I will never be too old to wear sneakers with a dress—and neither should you. Here are my top examples, as a proud 49-year-old, of when this combo works perfectly.
1. Picnics!
Time to pull out those Converse and pair them with a breezy sundress.
2. Anytime, if you’re sporting Keds.
Seriously, can Keds go with any summer dress? That might just appease the fashion critics.
3. Semi-formal summer events.
Remember that gala for our local indie film house? I should’ve donned my dress and sneakers for a chic yet comfortable stroll across the lawn.
4. Work.
Is it possible to make this work in a professional setting? I believe it is, especially if I can style it like this: © Tim Regas/Instagram user whersmydriver.
As I ponder the possibilities, I can’t help but consider how personal expression—whether it’s through fashion, parenting, or life choices—should never be stifled. Speaking of choices, if you’re considering expanding your family, check out this informative piece about at-home insemination kits, like the Cryobaby. Additionally, for those looking for a more specialized approach, the Intrauterine Insemination is a great resource.
In conclusion, let’s embrace our choices and wear what makes us feel good, regardless of age. Sneakers and dresses are a match made in heaven, and it’s time to strut our stuff without hesitation!
