How To Find Clothes To Match Every Pair Of Sneakers
How To Find Clothes To Match Every Pair Of Sneakers
The days of being super matchy-matchy with your clothes may be behind us but there are times when you may want to coordinate your shoes with the rest of your outfit. So, here are a few companies that can help you in this area.
Disclaimer:
This list is not exhaustive, I’m sure there are many other sites and stores I have not heard of yet, if your favorite spot is not on the list comment below.
Popular New Releases
Finding clothes and accessories to compliment a brand-new pair of sneakers that just dropped is not hard at all. Nike, Adidas, Puma, New Balance etc. all make tees and sweats in the same colorways as their new releases that are in-store and online when the sneakers release. You can also find these same items at Footlocker, Finishline, Dick’s etc.
You can also go to your local mall, Macy’s, JD Sports and Dr. Jays. There’s also Farfetch, SSENSE, and Mr. Porter but these sites will require you to look at each item one by one in order to possibly find a match
But there are those of us who find that too easy. We want clothes to match but don’t want to look like a store mannequin at the same time. So that’s where the next few stores come in. They are great for making shirts that match new and popular sneakers.
*This list is not exhaustive there are many other brands/stores such as 8and9, Fly Supply and Vandal – A but I chose the brands below because of the convenience
