These Sneakers Are So Chic, You Can Wear Them To The Office (2024)

At this point, the Adidas Samba is a reimagined cult classic. If you live in a city, chances are you'll see multiple versions each day you step foot outside. The style looks great with a relaxed suit and tee shirt for the office, with a midi skirt under a sweater, or floral feminine dress. The black and white is a classic, but if you're feeling adventurous it's now offered a variety of colors and prints. Pro tip: be sure to pay super close attention to the specified men's or women's sizing before checking out. It's a gender neutral style and many sites provide both sizing through one page.

Rave review: "Samba OG shoes deliver a perfect fusion of style and comfort. The classic design, coupled with durable leather and a gum sole, pays homage to adidas' heritage. Versatile on and off the court, though sizing may run narrow for some. Overall, they are a solid choice for a timeless and comfortable sneaker."

Veja sneakers might seem like a status symbol for the French girl chic aesthetic. While there are tons of work-appropriate styles from the Veja site, the V-90s are modern and sporty with a retro flare (and come in a variety of colors). But the V logo stands for something much bigger. The founders of Veja started the brand to reimagine the sneaker industry to be more sustainable, transparent, and fair to its factory workers overseas. Each sneaker is produced in high-standard factories in Brazil using top notch and organic cotton, leather, and canvas. At an under-$200 price point, you can score a pair that's not only high quality and chic, but you can feel good about supporting the brand's much bigger mission.

Rave review: "These are adorable sneakers! You can wear with jeans or dresses!"

High tops for the workplace can be tricky because they can easily be the focal point of your outfit when the goal should be to nicely compliment it. This style from Gola is the perfect option because they are made with a subtle and sturdy yet flexible canvas and a retro design. They are versatile to be rolled down or, when worn up, they look great under a pair of cropped ankle trousers or midi skirt.

Rave review: "Love these! wide enough in the ball of the foot, nice structure and good padding in the foot bed, although no arch support. Super cute, too."

This might be the closest sneaker to a dress shoe on the entire list, making them the most office appropriate in not-so0-casual settings. The woven, buttery leather makes these feel extra special and elevated without compromising on comfort. They are surprisingly lightweight and feature a memory foam footbed for additional cushion. M Gemi shoes are all made with impeccable craftsmanship in Italy making them a worthy investment that will last.

Rave review: "This is a beautifully crafted shoe and actually my second pair. It's truly one style for almost all occasions."

In a world of endless Nike sneakers, it can be hard to differentiate the difference between athletic, work-appropriate, and streetwear style sneakers. The Cortez strikes the perfect balance for the workplace (a version of it was once in a J.Crew collaboration). It makes any suit 10x cooler for all genders and pays homage to Nike classics. Designed in 1972, the Cortez was the first Nike shoe to feature the Swoosh. It's also a pop culture icon, featured in Forrest Gump among other movies. So basically, you're wearing a piece of history with these sneakers. The green suede feels super special, but there are a variety of leather colors available on Nike's site.

Rave review: "80s kids will love these. They are much lighter than the original similar pair I had in Junior High. They are super comfortable and they look great. I love that this style is back in fashion."

You've seen this style on Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and even Taylor Swift. It's an "it sneaker" that lives up to the hype, turning any basic outfit into something cool. The New Balance 550 phenomenon is an '80s resurgence that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Although they require a break-in period, the more you wear them, the more you'll love them.

Rave review: "These are very cute, comfortable, and I got many compliments from people."

Historically, Cole Haan is known to make some of the best dress shoes around. The brand added sneakers to the lineup, and naturally they are elevated, dressy, and sleek, living up to their original reputation. The GrandPro Topspin sneaker gives dress shoe vibes with sneaker heaven comfort.

Once you've stepped foot in a Birdies' footbed you'll find it hard to wear any other sneaker. This version is a weatherproof sneaker-boot, perfect for rainy days and even slight snowfall. The all leather feels elevated enough for the office. It even has a hidden wedge heel for a little height.
