Sneakers have been at the forefront of fashion for years now, much to the delight of those who favor a comfortable shoe. And gone are the days when kicks were, well, frumpy; designers and contemporary labels have ushered in a new wave of luxe styles, from the season’s sumptuous suede look to colorful pairs that pack a playful punch. Of course, elevating your sneakers is sometimes easier said than done. Sure, you could pair them with your favorite jeans or black leggings, but fashion folks are reaching for another bottom: wide-leg trousers.
