The Best Low Top Sneakers To Pair With Shorts

Pairing low top sneakers with shorts is the best way to stay comfortable in Singapore’s scorching heat. Here’s our list of the best low top sneakers to wear in Singapore and tips on how to style them with shorts.

If this heat has got you reaching out for shorts instead of long pants, you’re not alone. And when it comes to footwear that goes well with shorts, low top sneakers are your best bet. Whether it’s chino shorts, denim shorts or even athletic shorts, low top sneakers go well with shorts and offer a lot more breathability on-feet. Since they also have a lower profile, they balance out the shorter length of shorts to create better proportions in an outfit.

How do I pair low top sneakers with shorts?

1. For fitted shorts, opt for more narrow and sleek silhouettes like the adidas Campus to maintain a well-balanced proportion.

2. When wearing looser fits like sweat shorts or cargo shorts, go for chunkier, wider sneakers.

3. Consider color: Opt for complementary or harmonizing colors to create a balanced ensemble. For instance, if you’re wearing neutral-colored shorts like khaki or beige, you should pair them with white, black or gray sneakers. A great and versatile option are the Panda Dunks.

4. If you want to make your kicks the focal point of the outfit, experiment with contrasting colors. For example, if you’re wearing dark-colored shorts, pair them with bright-colored sneakers.

Bonus: Pairing shorts with low top sneakers will expose your choice of socks. Keep in mind the color of your socks, the height of your socks and the print as they influence how cohesive your outfit looks.
