How to Style Turquoise Sneakers 8 Ways

NOTE: This post is not sponsered although I was provided the shoes for a paid social media campaign. All opinions are honest and my own.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Vionic Shoes on an Instagram post. If you’re not an influencer you may not know that oftentimes we don’t get to pick just anything we want from a brand. They send you what they are promoting.

In this case, they only told me which shoe I’d be promoting and I think there may have been a photo of the shoe in this color only. I did, however, get a first and second COLOR choice, but guys, this shoe wasn’t online yet so I was choosing blindly based on the color names alone.

White, Ice Blue, and Wasabi.

My first choice for sneakers is ALWAYS white! I like basics in my “tena-shoes“, remember?

I thought for sure that the sneaker we’re talking about today was the Ice Blue. So I picked the Wasabi as my second choice, thinking they would be greenish.

I was sent my second choice and when I saw the photo shipping notification I PANICKED! This was far out of my comfort zone and I couldn’t settle my mind on what to wear with “turquoise” shoes.

But I said all that to say this: Once I calmed down and started putting some mood boards together ( see how to create your own here), I saw how much FUN and EXCITEMENT a bright shoe can add to an outfit. Then I went a bit crazy planning outfits around these beautiful Wiley Sneakers from Vionic Shoes.

I favor a chunkier shoe, like this minimal platform sneaker, which adds visual weight, but not too much, to an outfit as I think it provides a balancing foundation for a larger frame. Plus they are still so lightweight and with Vionic’s 3-Zone Comfort Technology they have plenty of support without adding my prescription orthotics.

My baby sister actually put me on the right track for styling “turquoise” sneakers by suggesting to pair them with white jeans and a black tee and that served as the jumping-off place for the rest of these looks.

I think you could definitely pair them with patterns but I’m loving the simplicity and sophistication of playing with color alone. Take a look and tell in the comments which is your favorite.

Let me just say that I LOVE these last two so much that I may be adding some navy pieces to my wardrobe SOON.

I may officially be on the bright shoe bandwagon and I’m thinking my neutral shoe closet is gonna get a splash of accent colors.

Is your shoe closet full of color, neutrals, or a good mix of both?
