44 Festive Athletic Footwear

These Fancy Sneakers are Sophisticated Enough for Parties

— September 19, 2014 — Fashion
Getting dressed up for holiday parties like New Years Eve allows you to rock fashion pieces you normally wouldn't wear such as a pair of fancy sneakers. While most might consider sneakers inappropriate and too casual to wear to party, these opulent sneakers are much more classy, embellished and dressed up than your average pair.

Sneakers are a great option to wear on a night out because they're incredibly comfortable and supportive on your feet -- unlike a pair of high heels or structured dress shoes. Investing in a pair of sneakers that are a little bit more dressed up than usual is a great way to add a pair of athletic shoes to a suit or dressy outfit. Look for sneakers with gold detailing, embellishment or monochromatic colorway for added elegance.
