Elizabeth Kosich, a personal stylist at Elizabeth Kosich Styling, believes that a sharp pair of sneakers is the embodiment of sportswear—at any age. And for those over 65, it's hard to beat their comfort and versatility. "The key to looking fabulous and not frumpy is elevating the look for a high/low effect. This keeps you looking current, relevant, and polished, and not mistaken for being on your way to the gym," she says.
One way to acheive Kosich's high-low look is to pair sneakers with some of your favorite investment pieces. "Think luxury touches like cashmere and leather to offset the casualness of the sneaker," she advises. "A popular go-to winter uniform is leather pants, a cashmere turtleneck with bulky, traction-soled sneakers, and a puffer coat." Another trick she shares is to roll or fold up the hem of your jeans "to make a wide cuff to shorten and set the stage for your cool kicks."
If you want a stylish sneaker that's a little more on the dressy side, try the on-trend Warren Sneaker from Vince. The style pros at Stitch Fix say these sneakers never go out of style. Beloved by women young and old, they're the perfect slip-on sneaker for a dress, jeans, or sweats. The platform provides a flattering look that elongates the legs.
