Serious Fashion Business

Once upon a time, suits were reserved for business meetings and formal gatherings, two places where sneakers haven’t historically been welcome. But today, these staples are an ideal pairing—just ask López. “Suiting has come back in a less serious way the past few years, and I love styling oversized suiting with sneakers,” she tells us. “Maybe you have a matching suit, or you’re dressing up an outfit with a blazer. The juxtaposition of a sneaker is cool, relatable, and gives that ’90s corporate commuting aesthetic.”

Flax agrees: “I love grounding a tailored look with sneakers—think wide-leg trousers, a crisp button-down, and a cropped trench (which will be huge this fall),” she says. “Finish this look off with a ’90s throwback style like Asics, Reebok, or New Balance.”
