The Easiest Weekend Look – How to Style a Dress with Sneakers

Paris Fashion Week just wrapped up earlier this week, and I am loving all of the trends and recaps I’ve seen! I have yet to attend a fashion week and to be completely honest, I am not in a rush to do so anytime soon. As much as I love fashion and originally started The Luxi Look as a fashion blog (Look being the key word here!), my content has shifted and evolved over the past year to have more of a lifestyle and wellness focus.

I still have a tremendous amount of appreciation and love for fashion, and wholeheartedly believe in the power of a killer outfit to cheer you up or give you confidence. But at the end of the day, my personal style errs on the side of “California casual” and you’ll much more likely see me rocking denim, a cozy knit, or a sundress than stilettos and high-fashion outfits. My day to day lifestyle just works better with a more laid back and attainable aesthetic! Case in point: wearing a dress with sneakers. Now that’s a trend and look I can get behind (and have been shamelessly wearing nonstop)!

The Easiest Weekend Look – How to Style a Dress with Sneakers

When I get dressed for the day, comfort is always at the top of my mind. I also try to plan ahead for the day – are there any important meetings I need to dress appropriately for? Am I planning on walking for extended periods of time? Do I need to dress for day and night, or can I easily upgrade my look after work? On weekends, I am especially lazy. More often than not, I reach for the same pieces (a t-shirt or knit with high-waisted denim or cozy joggers). Again, being comfortable is my number one priority.

The perfect combo – pairing a dress with sneakers. Mini dresses (or skirts) are a super easy weekend look for when you’re hanging out with friends. Wearing a shorter hemline with sneakers keeps the look from being too feminine and dressy. Bonus points for being comfortable and able to walk around all day!

This simple styling trick has been a godsend on the weekend. I can get ready quickly and feel presentable but still at ease. I’ve come to terms with the fact that as much as I love the way heels look, I really just cannot deal with the way they make me feel. I can’t be the only one that has a hard time walking for long periods of time in them, right? For me, if I’m planning on being on the go, I need to be comfortable and able to go with the flow!

Also, how cute is this dress?! It was under $20 (!!) from Forever 21. I’m a total sucker for ANYTHING with a fruit print on it and love that so many brands have incorporated it into their spring collections. Shop some of my favorite dresses + sneakers to pair together below!
