Basics

Shoes can make or break your look, typically setting the tone for your outfit. Remember that we’re still just trying to purchase the essentials for your wardrobe, so don’t worry if you frequently see some of these pieces.

The first shoe I’m going to talk about is, who would have thought it, the Air Force 1. You won’t make a mistake if you buy them. Especially the all-white edition, which portrays a very simple and clean design, making them very versatile and enabling you to wear them with all kinds of outfits. They are suitable for a casual coffee date, but also for a night out, depending on your outfit. There is an enormous selection of colorways to choose from, but I would recommend the all-white version due to the versatility they provide, and they just look clean. They are currently available for 115$.

The Adidas Gazelle is very popular right now; you’ve probably seen them on social media. Its simple design adds a touch of retro style to your outfit, making it optimal for casual occasions. The shoe is also quite sustainable, so you won’t have to think about replacing it for a good amount of time. The fabric on the shoe’s surface is quite thin, so they’re best suited for warmer weather. Their flat design and compact size make them easy to pack, making them ideal for your next summer vacation. They are currently sold for 120$.

The Asics Gel Kayano 14 is an excellent choice for casual occasions. Asics specializes in running shoes that prioritize comfort and support, making them perfect for everyday wear, especially on long days. They are not as widely popular, so choosing the Gel Kayano 14 will make you stand out. They’re my favorites because they effortlessly combine comfort and style in a relaxed way, although they are a little more expensive than the other two shoes, priced at 150$.

You can find them on the brand’s official websites, as well as on retailers like Footlocker and Snipes, which often offer discounts.
