Office-friendly colours and designs

Which metallic sneakers are suitable for the office?

  • Subtle silver or gold tones look stylish and add a subtle shine.
  • Eye-catching glitter effects should be avoided.

Combine sporty sneakers with dresses and skirts in the office

It's not just suit pants that go well with sneakers - dresses and skirts can also be stylishly combined in the office. However, make sure you choose the right skirt length.


Which cuts are best?

  • Midi length creates a stylish overall look.
  • Knee-length is classic and modern at the same time.
  • Figure-hugging dresses complement the modern silhouette.

The right accessories for sneakers in a business outfit

Accessories round off the outfit and ensure a harmonious overall look. Bags, belts or minimalist jewellery set specific accents for a stylish look.


Which accessories go with sneakers?

  • Subtle colours for bags and belts for a harmonious look.
  • Choose gold or silver details to match the sneaker design.

Sneakers in the office - these mistakes should be avoided!

Not every combination is suitable for the office. Some styling mistakes can quickly make a business outfit look unprofessional.


These combinations look dubious

  • Ripped jeans and loose-fitting tops create a look that is too casual.
  • Neon-coloured or overly colourful sneakers are inappropriate for a business outfit.


When are sneakers not suitable?

  • Meetings with customers or managing directors require classic shoes.
  • Events with a festive dress code require more formal shoes.

Slippers and ballerinas - an elegant alternative for the business look

If you want something a little more elegant and sneakers look too sporty, loafers or ballerinas are a stylish option for the office look. They combine comfort with a feminine look - ideal for a formal dress code.

Timeless colours for the office look

Slippers in black, beige or dark blue look particularly elegant and can be combined in a variety of ways. Ballerinas in soft colours complement simple business outfits harmoniously.


Stylish and comfortable in the office

Whether with fabric trousers, a midi skirt or a business dress - slippers and ballerinas go with almost any outfit. Thanks to their ergonomic fit and lightweight sole, legero styles offer all-day comfort - even on long working days.
