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.

This is a sponsored post.


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.

Every single year, there alway seems to be a new shoe trend that is popping up. Whether it’s a certain style and brand of sneakers, or even a particular color, sneakers are great to wear for a multitude of reasons. Not only are they extremely comfortable, but they can also be a huge fashion statement no matter where you go.


We mentioned chunky sneakers are a typical garment that people wear no matter if it’s hot or cold out, but mainly because of how comfortable they are. If you are new to the chunky sneaker realm and are worried if you’re styling them wrong, the good news is that it’s super easy to do so.


Check out some of our tips and tricks on how to style chunky sneakers and why it’s such a trend!

What Distinguishes a Chunky Sneaker?

With many types of sneakers that are readily available, knowing what is considered chunky or not is crucial!

There is nothing better than being able to throw on a pair of sneakers and run out the door feeling comfortable all day long. With so many styles of chunky sneakers to choose from, such as patterned or solid colors which can be both bright or neutral, there are a ton of options to choose from.


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. 

How to Wear the Chunky Sneaker Trend and Extra Information

Knowing how to wear this fun sneaker look is a must for anyone who loves to feel comfy no matter how much you walk a day!

Everyone loves a good chunky sneaker and if you’re interested in wearing them, but not sure how, stop stressing! Styling chunky sneakers is extremely easy to do and it’s something that you can learn in a heartbeat with just a little bit of direction and picking out other garments from your own closet.


Consider checking out some of our top tips on how to wear chunky sneakers and hop on the trend ASAP!

How to Jump on the Ugly Sneaker Trend

There are a ton of ways to properly wear a pair of chunky sneakers and it’s super easy once you learn what they are. You probably own most of the garments needed to wear with a pair of ugly sneakers, so let’s break down what those are!


Wear With a Longer Pair of Shorts

One of the best ways to style a pair of chunky sneakers is to wear some longer shorts, which is great for the warmer months. There are a few different options that you have when it comes to figuring out what pair of shorts are best for you including bermuda shorts, longer jean shorts, and even biker shorts. 


Pair with Long Pants

Chunky sneakers can look great in many different ways and while  people pair them with  boyfriend jean shorts, or even biker shorts for the warmer months, many people swear that they are best fit with a pair of long pants. We recommend that you wear them with a pair of boyfriend jeans, or even wide legged jeans like many popular models do.


Can Even Be Paired With Skirts or Dresses

Do you love wearing comfortable cotton dresses or skirts and are looking for a way to incorporate a pair of chunky sneakers? If you are, one of the best ways to do this is by wearing your chunky sneakers with a longer maxi dress that reaches your calves with a pair of high socks, or even a matching cute top and skirt combo with your sneakers. 

The Dad Sneaker Trends

Chunky sneakers can also be associated with dad sneakers, and at first many people didn’t understand why this became such a popular trend, but it’s important to know why it is and how to style it.


The dad sneaker trend, which chunky sneakers can also be a part of, can add an effortless feel to any outfit. This started from the 80s athletic sneaker trend and people were looking for more comfort and stability and found it in a shoe.


They can be worn in a ton of different ways and it all depends on what your style currently is or even the weather. If you wish to pair them with some biker shorts, long jean shorts, wide legged jeans, or even ankle cut jeans, the options are limitless. Typically, anything that is oversized is a great option whenever you’re deciding on how to style chunky sneakers.

The White Sneaker Trend

Many people are opting for a pair of white sneakers, but why is this? Many fashion experts believe that white sneakers will forever stay in style because of their simple, yet clean execution that can be fashioned in a multitude of ways. 


Many people opt out of getting a pair of white sneakers simply because they can become dirty more easily. Not only can they help your entire outfit to shine, they also allow you to be more relaxed when it comes to creating your outfits for the day. No more overthinking about what top or bottom will best suit your colored or patterned shoes when you have a pair of white chunky ones. 


White chunky sneakers are extremely popular and can be styled in any way that you see fit, no matter the color of the rest of your outfit. They provide the chunkiness that you’re looking for in a pair of sneakers, and then they allow the freedom you’ve always wanted when choosing a top and bottom, no matter how casual or sophisticated the event you’re going to is.


Chunky sneakers are in and are here to stay for a long time. They can be easily styled in many ways, and most of the time with garments that you already own. 


Make sure that you get your own pair of chunky sneakers and learn from our tips and tricks how to style them in your own way!

  10. What fun to have daughters from whom you can borrow things! My daughter and I have completely different taste so rarely do any kind of borrowing. As for chunky sneakers, they remind me too much of the sneakers I had to wear for a year prior to foot surgery...not a good memory. But, I love seeing them on others...they look so stylish! Thanks for the link party!
