We can’t underscore enough the fact that we hate anything that has the whiff of a fly-by-night trend, bandwagon move, or fad that ekes its way into the style world. There’s nothing more ridiculous than acid-washed jeans, day-glow colored-shirts, or (yet again) that stupid late-90s trend of the “Usher goggles.” But what we initially thought to be a quirk of tech billionaires and hip comedians has evolved into a bona fide style move for men everywhere, whether they’re in the C-suites or the corner cubicle. Pairing a killer suit with what our across-the-Pond cousins would call “cool trainers” are no longer just the go-to move for Tumblr execs. YOU–the overworked, underpaid underling—can pull this style move as well.

Look…we’re not here to bash the wearing of Oxfords or Brogues with your suit; these classics are classics for a reason. They are still the standard by which we measure gentlemanly style. But to paraphrase the great Pablo Picasso, you have to learn the rules so that you can brake them. Adherents to the concept of “sprezzatura,” best embodied by Italian auto tycoon and style titan Gianni Agnelli, aim to dress impeccably while having one or two items slightly askew. Sneakers with a suit take that concept to its natural end, and the results can be pretty damn incredible. See what we’ve included in our gallery below for some good style inspiration.
