5 Ways To Wear Print Shoes For a Timeless Style

Dust off your brightest clothes and wildly printed sneakers, because spring is the best time to experiment with fun patterns, florals, and stripes. If you’re new to wearing prints, a great way to get into the trend without overdoing it is… A pair of fun kicks! From slip-on sneakers to lace-up classics, high-tops, low-tops, and everything in between, have some fun with the best print shoes for the new season. With the right styling, you can wear your printed sneakers with everything from simple neutrals, to leather leggings and eye-catching tops.

Take some outfit inspo from us and try out the styles below:

Pop of Color

Starting with a neutral base is the best way to make your kicks stand out. For example, you can style a cream knit dress with our OCA Low printed sneakers in Black Polka Dot, for a low-key, yet elegant outfit. Not only will you be comfortable (our vegan insoles mold closely to your foot for cushion every step) but your outfit has a bit of extra style than if you just wore a plain pair of boots and a sweater.

Leather & Leopard

Take a walk on the wild side by styling a pair of leather leggings with leopard printed sneakers, like our OCA Low in Leopard Suede, sourced from LWG-certified tanneries. The basic color scheme of brown and black means you won’t have a hard time coordinating tops or accessories. Though technically “neutral”, Leopard also gives you an opportunity to showcase your personal style with the edgy print and textures.

Mixing Prints

There’s a fine line between matching prints and clashing patterns (which can be cool, too), but knowing how to mix them together is key when wearing printed sneakers. By pairing your printed canvas sneakers with clothes that have similar color tones, you’ll automatically balance out any drastic, less “everyday” pattern combinations. Florals are really easy to mix, so start with a pair of floral kicks. For example, you can pick out one of the hues from our Tropical Forest OCA Low sneakers and use that as a guide to picking another print to wear. An orange or bright blue floral top or dress would balance these organic cotton canvas printed sneakers nicely.

Denim & Camo

Denim never goes out of style—it’s inherently effortless. We love a well-fitting pair of jeans, but as the weather warms, why not try a denim dress to spice things up? To add a little extra edge, slip into a fun pair of our Camouflage Stripe Suede OCA Low sneakers, which complete the vibe of your look.

Embrace the Rainbow

When you have a pair of print shoes as loud as our Toz Collector’s Edition OCA High kicks, there is no reason to play it safe. This is a chance to be brave and have as much fun as possible with your look, so pull in all your favorite colors from the print shoes to create your outfit. We love styling these kicks with a lime-colored dress, or jeans and a pink or yellow top.

Printed Sneakers: A New Closet Staple

Print shoes are far more versatile than you might think, so go ahead and consider these a new closet staple. No matter which pair of printed shoes you choose, all our printed sneakers are super comfortable and durable, making them perfect for your daily activities (especially if you’re on your feet all day). Our sneakers are also lightweight and created with eco-friendly materials, so that you can style on and treat the planet with care.
