13 Sneakers That Look Great With a Suit

Wearing sneakers with a suit is a look that really popped off a few years back, and while it was a welcome shift in making a suit more casual—and accessible—let it be known that not every pair of sneakers looks good with a suit. When you're wearing something tailored, you want to be strategic in your pairing of the rest of the outfit. The right sneaker, however, provides a way to break the suit up, give it some personality (plus, comfy feet). Here are 13 of the best sneakers to pair with a suit now.
