How to Wear the Chunky Sneaker Trend - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Hello and welcome to Mummabstylish.
Hope you're having a super week so far.

I'm actually at the wedding I've been talking about for the past few weeks. I know you're probably so bored of hearing about it now - but I promise there won't be much more.
Do pop by stories on Instagram to see what I decided to wear and what accessories I found.
It's been a busy few weeks and I'm looking forward to having a quiet more relaxed time, although with my big family I'm not sure that will happen!

I'm happy to share today's post with you all & I for one am excited to say I've actually taken notice.  I decided to style my daughters sneakers on the blog and really like how they look, so much so I'm going to invest in my own for the next season.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this style that's trending right now.

I'm thrilled to include this guest post featuring how to wear chunky trainers.  This trend has been around for a few years now and I for one love how they look.  Only today I saw a lady quite a lot older than me wearing some bright trainers with a fabulous dress - proving there's no age limit for this stylish trend!

I’m seriously considering buying some chunky sneakers after this post prompted me to take a closer look at them. 
I just what to quickly talk you around my outfit that's based around the striking sneakers.  I had this dress in mind from the off.  It belongs to my youngest daughter and although she's a lot smaller than me, the stretchy knitted dress fitted like a dream.  I popped my faithful full slip under it both to smooth out any bumps and also keep me a tad warmer - the weather is still really chilly for this time of the year, so the slip was a welcomed addition.  I toyed with my new pale blue blazer but ended up with this white linen one that was gifted to me from Bonmarche - you can pop back to read the full post here.

Learn about all of the different chunky sneakers that you can easily wear no matter the time of year!

Neutral-Colored Chunky Sneakers

For many newbies that are looking into getting their very own pair of chunky sneakers, the best pairs to check out are the neutral-colored ones. These are great to wear with almost anything and can be styled with a pair of skinny, or even wide-legged jeans with a simple t-shirt to finish off the style.

Bright Chunky Sneakers

While there are neutral-colored chunky sneakers, for the more adventurous people are the bright-colored chunky sneakers. There are a ton of options that chunky sneakers can come in when you want something other than a neutral color, which can be bright pink, blue, green, or any other color that you can imagine.

Chunky Running Sneakers

You may not believe it until you see it, but one of the best options if you’re an avid runner and would love to own a pair of chunky sneakers is a pair of chunky running shoes. Not only are these shoes extremely comfortable, whoever said that running sneakers couldn’t be fashionable was wrong, and chunky running ones are currently in.

The Dirty Chunky Sneaker

Another popular trend is the dirty shoe look. While many people love the look of a new pair of crystal-clean shoes, many others are looking into the dirty sneaker trend, and also getting the chunky versions of them. Golden Goose is an Italian shoe brand that started the signature “dirty shoe,” so they’re a great place to start if you’re interested in making your closet more fashion forward.

The Filas Chunky Sneaker

The most iconic chunky sneaker that is currently out there, and started the look, is Fila. Their signature white chunky sneakers are what a ton of people start off with before trailing off into other brands of this type of shoe. The silhouette of the sneaker has been revamped time and time again to keep up to date with all of the current trends, but the popular look and high heel has made it one of the best-selling styles recently for shoes.
