Much like chicken and waffles, suits and sneakers are an unexpected yet stellar duo. This pairing has become increasingly popular as many experiment with combining casual and formal wear. The combination of these two styles has been deemed “high-low dressing” in the fashion world, and, when executed well, makes for a striking, effortlessly cool ensemble.

To pull off a suit with sneakers, the style of each must be carefully considered. A slim fit suit with no pant break (meaning the hem of your pants is above the shoe) is the ideal style to pair with kicks as it accentuates the sneakers, fully embracing the bold look.

The sneakers most often paired with suits are higher-end, retro-inspired comfort sneakers. Be mindful of color; although sneakers are often the statement piece, they should complement the suit and not detract from it.

With these elements in mind, here are three prime “high-low” suit and sneaker combos that are sure to impress:

Navy Suit + Adidas Original Stan Smith

If it’s a navy suit you’re after, Stan Smith kicks are the perfect match. These timeless sneakers never fail to complete a look. With navy detailing to tie it together, this combination hits the high-low dressing bullseye.
