Don't be fooled into thinking that sneakers should be reserved for casual occasions. Trainer styles are evolving and formal sneakers are becoming increasingly popular as dress codes shift. Suede sneakers offer a particularly versatile solution to smart casual or business casual dress codes. Wear yours with a sharp tailored suit during the week to impress work colleagues, and with your favourite pair of denim jeans and a casual T-shirt at the pub on the weekend.
