With the weather finally getting nicer, we can all spend more time enjoying the sunshine and outdoors.
And you know what that means — it’s officially sneaker season!
While 2020 was all about the ugly, chunky dad sneaker, 2021 is all about going back to the basics. Celebs like Olivia Wilde, Jisoo, and Camila Cabello are relying on old-school athletic tennis shoes. Because if quarantine taught us anything, it’s that comfort is king. Celebs have been spotted out and about, pairing their athletic sneakers — particularly white sneakers — with their matching sweatsuits and loungewear.
On top of that, celebs have also embraced bright, colorful hiking shoes! Since social distancing often means hanging out with friends outside, many of us have had to find creative activities to do. Hiking has increased in popularity significantly, so much so that celebs are investing in solid hiking sneakers.
So out with the cute, fashionable sneakers and out with the dad sneakers. It’s time for comfort and utility.
