First, when picking your sneaker, these aren't sneakers that are meant for the gym. These are stylish leather or canvas sneakers. A perfect example would be a pair of Converse. Also, if you're choosing leather for the fall, look for a darker leather, like an oxblood burgundy.

Next, have fun with it! You want to show your sneakers off, so make them a part of your outfit. Make sure they match what you're planning to wear. If you're unsure of where to start, try to add two casual pieces into a look. For example, a casual denim jacket and a dress would go great with a pair of sneakers.

Next, it's perfectly OK to have juxtaposition. So, with a pair of sneakers and jeans, dress up the top half. Wear a fun metallic blouse with a jacket and add a really cool satchel tote.

Finally, have fun with it and own the look. Make it a fashionable and intentional comfort!
