Retro Fashion with Hi-Top Pumps

Hi-tops are becoming a fashionable choice of footwear these days, they give a retro feel, work great with the skinny jeans trend and add a bit of energy to any casual outfit. You can keep them simple, with classic styles and basic colours or if you prefer to make a statement with your outfits you can go with a funked up pair and possibly colour match to your favourite hat, cap or t-shirt. With the range of hi-tops available you shouldn’t have a problem trying to find a pair to suit your particular taste and style, you get to pick from all the classic Nike, Adidas and Puma ranges and new ranges from modern designers producing old school footwear to keep up with the trend.

I prefer wearing Hi-Top trainers with either skinny jeans, or loose jeans with a skinny ankle. Then maybe a sweater, like the ones featured in yesterdays post, or If I’m not going anywhere special they work well with a hoodie. Another look I haven’t tried pulling off yet is hi-tops with a blazer and t-shirt, I’ve seen a few people working this look and it’s a good smart / casual mix. Hi-tops are a good excuse to move away from canvas styled trainers, which are starting to get a bit boring, although you can get some decent canvas hi-tops the leather ones are going to be more chunky and contribute a bit more to an outfit, plus you will get a bit more wear out of them.
