Yes, You Can Wear Sneakers for Winter — Here’s How

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

 

As 2022 winds down, your calendar is probably filling up with winter activities like holiday parties, finals study sessions, and more. While this busy time of year can sometimes be overwhelming, it can also be super fun — especially if you’re a fashion lover like me.

A calendar full of events means plenty of opportunities to show off your style. But when you’re planning your looks, it helps to have a few go-to shoes you can reach for no matter the occasion or weather. My fave choice this season? Comfy, on-trend sneakers. If you’re looking for new kicks to complete your winter outfits, PUMA has three stand-out styles you can rock all season long: the Mayze Classic, the Mayze Stack, and the Suede Classic XXI.

Here are six ways to wear sneakers for everything on your calendar this winter:

1. Holiday Party

I don’t know about you, but I loved pairing my sneakers with sundresses over the summer, and I can’t wait to recreate this dressed-up yet laid-back look for holiday parties this winter. Just grab a silky slip dress, add a leather blazer for warmth, and lace up some sneakers in your fave color. Bonus points if you add a pair of statement earrings to elevate the fit!

2. Finals Study Sesh

When you’re busy flipping through flashcards and editing final essays, it can be tempting to throw on your most worn-in sweats and one of the many free t-shirts you received on campus (we all have them). However, wearing an outfit that feels a little more put-together can give you the confidence boost you need during finals season — but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort. Opt for an on-trend streetwear look with baggy cargo pants, an oversized tee or hoodie, and sneakers to match.

3. Holiday Gift Shopping

Heading out to find gifts for all of the people on your list? Sneakers will keep you comfortable as you get your steps in (shopping is cardio, obvi). Pair them with black trousers, a simple tank, and a shoulder bag for a fashionable and functional look.

4. Class Presentation

Class presentations usually call for a more professional look than your average day of class. Dress for success by styling your kicks with a cool maxi skirt, a mock-neck top, and a denim trench coat. Finish off your fit with a few necklaces, and you’re ready to crush it.

5. Traveling for Winter Break

Whether you’re headed home by plane, train, car, or bus, traveling can be a hassle (especially during the holidays). Make it easier on yourself by choosing no-fuss pieces like baggy jeans in a fun print, an oversized tee, and comfy yet cool sneakers.

6. Celebrating New Year’s Eve

Ready to ring in the new year in style? Whether you’re going out on the town or attending a New Year’s Eve party at your BFF’s house, sneakers are a perfect choice. Pair some platform kicks with neutral cargo pants, a leather bustier top, and chunky jewelry for a look that will turn heads even after the clock strikes midnight.

Now that you have all of the style inspo you need, you’re ready to get out there and show off your fits this season. But before you start celebrating, head to puma.com to shop the Mayze Classic, Mayze Stack, Suede Classic, and other holiday sneaker essentials!
