The Yuna Yang Fall 2014 runway show was all about soft designs and dainty fabrics. The judgment call to pair the looks with sneakers and slouchy socks was risky and retro (hello, 1986), but also ... adorable.

Karolina Kurkova had the right idea at NYFW. Outside the Prabal Gurung show, the model was spotted wearing patent leather Converse shoes along with bold print pants and calf-length vintage fur.

These Isabel Marant sneaker wedges spotted on Zina Charkoplia of Fashion Vibe have us sold. The blazer styled with an all-over monochromatic look, spotted specs and gilded accessories make the kicks that much more trend-worthy.

Of course Beyoncé can work sneakers practically any day of the year and somehow manage to exemplify style. These gilded Nike sneakers are the perfect addition to her crop top and high-waist shorts look worn in South Beach last month.
