Shoes are returning to the classics. Pumps are back in vogue, but sneakers continue to enjoy support. [Paris Snap]

Mar 24, 2022
This season, the runway saw a return to classic styles, with tailored suits, pencil skirts, and other formal office wear. Pointed-toe pumps and stiletto pumps, classic footwear that had been in the shadows for several seasons, are back in the spotlight! However, sneaker lovers seeking comfort are still going strong.

You may not have seen Jeanne, the quintessential Parisian, in sneakers. A slim-fit tailored jacket, a leopard print mid-length skirt, and black pumps exude a feminine attitude for a sophisticated look. This classic style has been a trend in homewear for several seasons, but it's now back on the runway with a fresh new look.

Maria, originally from Spain, creates a contemporary '80s look by pairing vintage pieces with Axel Arigato sneakers. Even punky items like python prints can easily be turned into everyday wear by toning them down with sporty sneakers. Not only are they comfortable, but their casual, down-to-earth nature may be one of the reasons they're so appealing to sneaker lovers.

Victoria mixed Victoria Thomas pieces with a vintage scarf-inspired top and elevated her look with pure white stiletto mules for a sophisticated look. The relaxed silhouette of these ankle-length trousers creates an effortless look, perfectly paired with exquisitely cut shoes that flatter the instep.

Ellen rocks a denim jumpsuit, a perennial favorite among Parisians, regardless of the trend or season. Since sneakers tend to look childish, she keeps the look minimal with round-toe mules for a more modern look. White shoes are a useful accessory for adding a casual touch.
