16 Sneakers We Wear With Jeans, Dresses, and Leggings

As fashion editors who appreciate comfort and find ourselves in need of more casual clothing and footwear than ever before (since we're spending far less time in an office these days), we really value a great pair of sneakers. And equally as important as comfort is that they're stylish and can be worn with basically anything.
By anything, we specifically mean jeans, dresses, and sneakers—aka the most common things to wear with sneakers, but not every pair of sneakers look good with all three of those items. Some are a bit too sporty, some too dressy, and so on. But we've found highly adaptable sneakers that make anything they're paired with that much cooler.
Below, you'll find 16 pairs of sneakers our editors routinely swear by, along with some of our favorite new styles for spring that we've yet to try (but would certainly like to).
Bobby Schuessler, Market Director
Sierra Mayhew, Associate Editor
"I woke up at 6 a.m. to discover these sneakers were back in stock after months of waiting and jolted out of bed. I first caught wind of them when I saw someone at my gym wearing them, and I instantly knew I needed to have them. They arrived in just two business days and have since made my frequent treadmill runs much more comfortable."
Jasmine Fox-Suliaman, Editor
"You wouldn't expect a pair of pink sneakers to be a staple, but alas, my platform Converse have become the most versatile pair of shoes in my wardrobe. Styling them an all-black look? Vibe. With a white summer dress? Yes. They're genuinely the sneaker I didn't know I needed in my life."
Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour, Senior Market Editor
Allyson Payer, Senior Editor
Judith Jones, Senior Market Editor
Kristen Nichols, Senior Editor
"I've turned into a sneaker person lately and practically live in my New Balance 990s. They're truly the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned and look equally cool with sweatpants and trousers."
"Yep, I can't get enough of New Balance right now and love the 550s. They tap into the '90s throwback sneaker trend that's really having a moment."
Anna LaPlaca, Editor
Yusra Siddiqui, Assistant Market Editor
