How to Style Men’s Sneakers for a Casual Yet Chic Look
Men’s sneakers have always accompanied guys on gym trips and sports activities. However, they have come a long way since then. More guys wear these shoes everywhere, cementing their staple wardrobe status. Whether running errands, attending casual events, or travelling overseas, the right pair brings in the magic. But some guys struggle with creating casual yet chic looks for their men’s sneakers; it’s more than throwing together a casual jeans and shirt combination, which most guys do.
Styling requires a thoughtful approach. Most people recommend using the high-low dressing method when styling men’s sneakers, which balances refined and casual pieces. Pairing dressy outfits with casual footwear reduces the formality of the clothes, creating fashion-forward choices—no wonder more guys wear white men’s sneakers to weddings and other special occasions.
This guide will explore various outfit combinations that blend relaxed comfort with sophisticated touches. We’ll start by choosing which Spendless New Zealand men’s sneakers to style, then proceed to highlight key dressy pieces that complement them. Level up your styling with these tips. Let’s start!
Choosing the Shoes
This section will discuss men’s sneakers that help you create stylish looks. They are the perfect foundation for any outfit and will set the tone for your look. We suggest adding these men’s sneakers to your wardrobe for easy dressing. They will be your go-to options in no time.
- The Classic White. White men’s sneakers are timeless and versatile. The shade pairs well with many colours and can complement most silhouettes. Clean and minimal designs are better for a more polished look. A perfect example is Spendless NZ’s Slate. These all-white shoes feature an adjustable laced upper, cosy padded collar, thick soles, and a classic aesthetic.
- Chunky Dad. Have you ever noticed those men’s sneakers that are chunky built? The re-birth of those eye-catching yet adorable chunky dad shoes raised some eyebrows. But before you judge, these men’s sneakers are cosy and will grow on you, adding character to your outfit. Consider Kent from the Spendless NZ collection. These chunky dad shoes’ excellent versatility can take you to workouts and weekend outings. With features like an adjustable laced upper, breathable mesh material, contrasting neutral tones, and cushioned soles, Kent injects a fresh, athletic edge into your looks.
- Retro. Reissues of decades-old men’s sneakers are at the forefront of the fashion scene, proving there’s nothing like the original designs. They mimic the design and style, offering a nostalgic charm. Investing in excellent options like Spendless NZ’s Cadet is wise. These men’s sneakers have the infamous durable gum sole—a favourite among skaters for their superb grip. Other features include a contrasting design with bold side stripes.
Elevating Daily Looks

- A blazer. A fitted or oversized blazer injects sophistication into any look. Wear it with classic white men’s sneakers, slim-fit jeans, tailored trousers, and a neutral T-shirt.
- Tailored pants. For a dapper look without going overboard, pair tailored pants with retro men’s sneakers. Swap those denim jeans for something dressier, such as slim-fit or cropped trousers. The unexpected pairing keeps things refined yet comfortable. Complete the look with a crisp button-down or a turtleneck.
- Minimalist outfit. Let your statement chunky dad men’s sneakers do the talking by keeping the rest of your outfits simple. These bulky shoes are conversation-starters, so let them be the focal point. Complement them with a plain, well-fitted shirt, joggers or denim jeans.

- Casual workplace. Some guys are lucky to work in relaxed work environments. We recommend wearing your blazer combination: white men’s sneakers, slim-fit jeans, a neutral T-shirt, and a blazer. Complete the look with a sleek watch.
- Weekend errands. You’ve got a whole day of errands, so you need a chic yet cosy combination that allows you to move freely. It’s time to wear the minimalist outfit combo. Joggers, a shirt, and your chunky dad men’s sneakers ensure you can tick each errand in style. Since New Zealand has unpredictable weather, we recommend completing the look with a bomber jacket, perfect for chilly temperatures.

Let’s combine the available looks to create a capsule vibe for your trip. Start with the cosy and supportive chunky dad men’s sneakers. Wear them with joggers and a hoodie.
