Throw all traditions out the window for a second and let out your inner kid. Why stress about what accessory could make your wedding wardrobe pop when all you need to do is bring it back to your childhood? Sneakers are the perfect way to stay comfortable for a day filled with photographers, family small talk, and whiskey-fueled dancing. Here are a couple of options that will keep you light in the loafers and young at heart.
- Nike SB Vulc Rod: Navy suede? You had me at hello. Available at Primitive Shoes for $65.
- Balenciaga Sneakers: If Justin Timberlake can match up his suited look with an array of color pop, why can’t we? These kicks are sure to make a statement on or off the aisle. Available at Balenciaga for $475.
- D&G Sneakers Style DU1912-E1315L: A must have! The sneakers feature black leather and suede, with slick details that give it a versatile feel. Available at Dolce and Gabanna for $207 (originally $345).
- Creative Recreation ‘Geno’ High Top Sneaker: A subtle color and great detailing goes a long way with these bad boys. Definitely need to pick up a pair for myself, even if I’m always the groomsman and never the groom. Available at Nordstrom for $110.
- Gourmet Nove L: Tan isn’t as bland as you think. With an urban feel, these are the right sneakers to pull together and modernize a gray suit. Available at Zappos.com for $89.99 (originally $100).
