Fall's Most Fun Shoe Trend? Metallic Sneakers!

by Amy Sciarretto

Athleisure never, ever has to be boring, nor does it need to be solely reserved for exercising, running errands, or gym time. You can kick up your atheisure outfits with metallic sneakers from the K-Swiss' Trophy Life Collection. It's about the details... the gold and silver details. Birkenstocks aren't the only Fall 2015 shoe options that transition stylishly to fall!

The Trophy Life sneaker range is inspired by the metals of the Dual Grand Slam tennis trophies. You can do all-over metallic or just a little bit metallic, thanks to the striping and accents, all for under $100. So it's an affordable dose of bling.

So if you are wearing leggings or even a cute summer-to-fall transition dress, you can add a dose of blinged out glam to your ensemble with a pair of K-Swiss Trophy Lifes.

I would totally pile on bracelets or necklaces in the same finish as the shoe accents. Or I might go with silver jewelry even if I was wearing the shoes that had gold accents, in order to switch things up and flip the bird to fashion rules.

Here's the full collection.

They are as follows: Gstaad S in Crystal-Black-White, $95; Gstaad in White-Silver-Gold, $95; Lozan III in White-Gold + Lozan III White-Silver-Blac, $75; Belmont SO in White-Silver + Belmont SO White-Gold, $65; Classic VN in White-Silver-Gold, $75.

Now, how about some options on what to wear 'em with? Here are three super easy ways to to style 'em.

1. LBD

These silver bullets would look amazing with an LBD.

Like a simple, t-shirt cut LBD. The dress can be plain since the shoes are so fab. You don't need to live in heels or sandals through September or even early October when sneaks are this legit. ($15, forever21.com)

2. Leather Leggings

How about wearing black leather leggings, a loose and voluminous black top, and stacks of gold bangle bracelets with this pair?

Or this pair? Pile on tons of gold bangles, rings, and layered necklaces, Rihanna style!

This pair of leather leggings is super sleek and the texture is slightly rough, which I love. I wear mine with everything and everywhere. I am inspired to add white 'n' gold kicks to my all-black outfits this fall because of this sneaker collection. ($98, spanx.com)

3. A Denim Mini!

The silver detailing of this pair...

...or this pair, would work wonderfully with a denim mini that also has silver details. The front buttons would totally mesh with the striping.

What a darling pairing. This skirt is so cheap 'n' chic and you can dress it up and down with kicks. ($23, forever21.com)
