There’s a couple of things to consider IMO. 1) If you’re doing the sneakers + suit thing, lose the tie. Tie’s are inherently formal and pairing with sneakers makes you look lost. 2) Cut/fit of the suit. The less structured the suit the more likely you’ll be able to pull the combo off. 3) The dress shirt. Avoid French cuffs, anything overly starched, too formal collar, etc. 4) Break of the pants. The break of the pants will frame the shoes in question. Double important for something as eye-catching as sneakers with a suit. It’s not impossible to pull off the look, but I would say best to avoid in 90% of scenarios and on 90% of people.

I think it's so much easier to pull off sneakers with a sports coat combo, rather than a suit. Based on the various looks that I've seen people attempt with sneakers and a suit, I think it works best when lowering the formality level of the shirt and/or tie.

If you are wearing suit then wear shoes (or boots). Period. But if you are wearing chinos, polo and sport jacket then, yes, sneakers would work just fine.

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

Here, Antonio says that, because it's for prom, it's ok to dress down. It was the opposite when I went to my prom. Because it was prom we were dressing to the 9s. While true, it's not a formal job interview, but it's a formal gathering and we had dinner beforehand at a good restaurant. It's also interesting how times change, (and some could say not for the better). Take socks, for ex. There is no way I would ever wear a suit without socks, but today, that seems to be the norm.

Wearing sneakers with a suit is a trend, and I don’t follow trends. Men don’t wear sneakers with a suit period! But who am I to tell another grown man what to do🤷🏾‍♂️

Sorry Antonio call me old fashion but not for me 🤷‍♂️

Don't forget to wear the backwards ballcap and lots of huge gold jewelry around your neck to complete this look. Seriously though, wearing sneakers with suits makes no sense and only makes you look like a confused millennial and not a serious professional unless you're one of the very few who own your own company and sets the dress code. Comparing sneakers to boots back in the 1800s equally makes no sense since the boots back then look much more like dress shoes than sneakers do today. Sneakers are just casual or sports wear and definitely not formal wear and no amount of talking about it or how well you wear the rest of the suit will ever justify it. It's just a very immature, lazy, sloppy, and unprofessional look, you might as well wear a track suit instead.

“People used to wear boots with suits.” Yeah, and they still do, but nobody wears sneakers with suits, because sneakers are for athletic purposes. It’s a clash of formalities.

I always hit like before watching the video! Antonio really be styling us gents.

nah bro! sorry.

I have to disagree, think it's a casual shoe and it should only be worn with a casual suit. I'm 17 and I love my sneakers but especially with colours like charcole,navy and black it just does not look right. A little bit like wearing grey sweat pants with a blazer, a dress shirt and dress shoes.

Sneakers with suits, depends. I am almost 75 years old and dress in a classical style. For me and my age I think sneakers with a suit would look ridiculous. There is nothing sadder than an old guy trying to pretend he is still twenty, however if you are twenty sneakers can work. I live in a neighborhood that is predominately populated by college students and go to a synagogue that services the college community thus I see this a lot. It definitely achieves the look the wearer is wants. If you are young and going out for a night on the town they will rock!

My Thing is this. People wear sneakers all the time! So when you put on a suit go all the way and ditch the sneakers for once. Just my opinion though.

I wear black Clarks with my suits when I need something more casual and comfortable. I also,wear brown suede sneaks with my beige summer suits.

This is unfortunately the difference between the US and Europe. Americans simply just don't have style. Wearing sneakers with a suit is like wearing a baseball cap with a suit. It's completely unacceptable.

I wore brown trainers with white bottoms with a blue suit to my wedding. I felt so comfortable and confident. I loved the contrast with the white bottom on the trainers. Really made them stand out.

Sneakers make you look juvenile in any setting other than when jogging, hiking, playing etc

Hello Antonio. I'm planning to wear a similar sport coat and blue shirt for my Grad ceremony. Thinking about navy slacks and brown loafers or white sneakers?

Here's me thinking I must be different for absolutely hating the suit sneakers look and then I read the comments, turns out the world hasn't gone crazy

Footwear has evolved, however trainers DO NOT go with a suit, EVER! You’ll be wearing a wedding suit with a baseball cap next! Or maybe your underpants on the outside!

i don't agree on this one. its like wearing leather dress shoes with jogging pants.

That's a negative. I have seen it many times and have really tried to embrace it, but can't. Loved your explaination and evolution logic, but no. Thanks for expanding our fashion minds.

I usually agree with most of your statements Antonio, but I cannot abide by this one. Few things make a great suit look worse than a pair of sneakers. Even worse for old guys trying so desperately hard to be cool. It is the generational equivalent of wearing a toupee on your feet. I can handle (but still dislike) when an NFL draft pick or other young gun wears these, but, to stick with the sports theme, Trent Dilfer and the rest of the ESPN commentators look like utter dorks trying to pull off the same style.

Interesting subject, because i'm 26yo and I wear the combination blazer/suits + sneakers very often or in the summer loafers. I think for dress shoes are a little 'to much' for the younger ages.

Since you asked, Antonio, I disagree. Wearing tennis shoes with suits doesn't look good; they make the wearer look childish, sloppy, and like he doesn't care about how he presents himself to the world. And wearing tennis shoes with a tuxedo is wholly inappropriate; it disrespects the hosts, the guests, and to the wearer himself, along with the reasons from before. I'm actually kind of surprised you made this video. I might concede on an odd jacket and trouser combination, but that's a strong "might." . . . ya know, since ya asked 🙃

Sneaker and suit for me is big no.i do respect people who break this rule.

Antonio, great video. Although I have a question about fragrance. What do you think about fragrances with male pheromones? Thank You in forward

I wear multi colored sneakers and odd trousers almost exclusively with suit jackets. My trick to getting it right is matching at least two colors from the sneaker colorway with various items making up the outfit. Most often I ensure the colors being matched do not directly touch trousers although a perfect color match can touch. I prefer skateboard, tennis, soccer and traditional basketball sneakers which are essentially a navy deck shoe. Navy deck shoes have a thin sole the stays parallel along it's length (think original Converse). Choosing sneakers colored mainly in black, white, grey, blue and brown often work best however many of theses shoes will have contrasting accent colors which is where the color matching magic happens: Ties are your best friend when it comes to matching accent colors, scarves and thinner winter caps (thick ones look silly) work just as well when appropriate. Chinos, various greys and black trousers offer the best options when picking colors however I have gone as far as matching green. Color matching can be stretched a bit by keeping colors in the same family. A good example is burgundy with brown or red but additionally one can go as far brown and green staying with earth tones (in my opinion the further you stretch matching colors the more those colors should be slight accents on one or both items). Patterned jackets match the loudness of the multi colored sneakers therefore I match with solid colored trousers (jacket and trousers must contrast when wearing odd trousers). Natural gum rubber soles match chinos. White soles match white shirts. Laces can be swapped out to fine tune the look. There are big advantages to breaking up jackets with odd trousers while wearing name brand sneakers: Sneakers can be found on sale often well under $70. Considering trousers take a lot of abuse over time so you can save the ones that came with the suit for important dates. Less is more with this style so there is no need for pocket squares, hats and other accessories (I do use tie clips). Ladies turned off by traditional menswear are more open to this style. When done correctly this look can be pulled off in almost any setting This might be a bit more than my two cents but hey I hope it can help my fellow men out there enjoy playing with their style.

While not a suit, I sometimes wear a blazer and dress pants with my white Onitsuka Tigers (Mexico 66). The combo looks great and, as a teacher, it feels really comfortable to be in sneakers while working. I tend to prefer this look on occasion, rather than too often. I'll choose it for really warm days/days I know I'll need an extra bit of comfort.

Hello. I really enjoy your videos and have learned quit a bit. I’m a mother of all boys. I’m out of touch with this more relaxed dressy style. My son has prom this year and really wants to wear sneakers. Nike Air Max1 premium, hemp and mudguard color. Light tan and dark brown. He picked a light khaki suit color and I picked a medium to dark brown suit with vest. The shoes have not been delivered yet but after getting our eyes and hands on both the suits he is now leaning towards the brown one. It will require some tailoring. If you have a minute can you google look at the tennis shoes and give me some tips?

If we wear sneakers with a suit, what color belt should we wear? Match belt color with sneaker color?

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see someone wearing sneakers with a suit is, “Poor dude doesn’t even own a pair of dress shoes!” When I notice that he appears to have money I just figure he never wears a suit and so for this one time he decided to just not buy a pair of dress shoes that he won’t get much wear out of. If I see the same person do it more than once, I just conclude that he has no style. In the US today, the trend towards comfort has lead men to dress very sloppy. I think staying at home during the pandemic has furthered this trend along. Men have been doing it long enough now that many men have forgotten how to dress properly, if they ever knew. Sneakers have no business being combined with a suit. Many have stated that it makes as much sense as wearing dress shoes with athletic wear. It is just not appropriate. In the US, I hate to say it, but so many people are obese that they dress very sloppy to be comfortable. A huge person having to resort to wearing sweats and athletic wear on a regular basis is sad. I will add that a backwards baseball cap looks juvenile and rediculous also. I guess that has lead to so many clothes here in the US having such huge arm holes in shirts. Who needs an arm hole that extends from your arm pit to half way down your body? It just makes a web of material under your arm. This makes it where the web of material pulls your shirt tail out of your trousers anytime you raise your arms. A proper size small arm hole makes the sleeve of your shirt articulated with your arm and body and you can raise your arms without it pulling on your shirt body. I also don’t like skinny high water trousers with a suit. All of these things just make men today look like total slobs.

I always think about The Tenth Doctor when talking about this topic.

Someone please show this episode to the weather guy from KIRO news here in Seattle!!!🤣😒

What would Raphael say over at gentleman's gazette?

What kind of socks ,sport socks or formal business socks, should be worn with leather sneaker especially when wearing blazer?

Amy combo is the black and white puma suede with the fat laces and suit, you get the BBoy look and even more credits when you bust out windmills on the dance floor

Age 50. Great analysis. I don’t plan on wearing anything but sneakers on my feet with a suit going forward. First time was when I was a groomsman at a friend’s wedding and we all wore black high top Converse. I doubted it at first but now I can’t go back ☝🏾

This is a look that I hope is out of fashion soon. There are so many options for dress shoes with comfortable, rubber soles that look like stacked leather counterparts, there’s not much argument for wearing sneakers with a suit. You see it on ESPN all the time and it just looks hideous IMHO. I personally like dressy (round toe) western boots with a suit for comfort and a unique style. If I’m interviewing, I’m still going with formal dress shoes.

Hi Antonio, great video! Can you do a video on how to dress up casual outfits with dress shoes please. Just like the opposite of this one.

Love this video Antonio! May not be for everyone but i know i respect the people that are confident enough to wear what they want and be comfortable with themselves. There is a big difference between not knowing and being sloppy and purposely throwing out the rules and being yourself. There is a time for the classics and a time for being yourself. Your son looked killer for prom!

Hello, can you ship those sneakers here in Kenya?

Not for me.. trainers with a suit is like wearing oxfords with a pair of tracksuit bottoms, just looks off

Hmmm, not bad, not bad; I reckon they would have to be leather or at least leatherette sneakers. However, definitely not with a tie for m6 liking; because it kind of looks like I can't make up my mind. 😁

Sneakers with a suit look much better and feel more comfortable 👍👍

Yeah when I’m taking my students to visit a college and I know I’ll be walking more than 3 -5 miles 😅anything less I’m wearing Cowboy boots and a suit

If one spends good money on the suit then one should do so with their footwear. Sneaker prices are increasing, but that isn't the message I'm trying to convey. I personally have never complimented someone on wearing sneakers/dress hybrids with suiting. I feel as if that's like putting cheap rims or tires on a nice car. You could do it, but you shouldn't! I think the only potentially acceptable manner to wear sneakers is while pairing with a sport coat and chinos or jeans. As you have reviewed and many others, they're so damn many beautiful dress shoes that would be better paired with suiting than any sneaker company's product.

I do think suits should ideally be worn with dress shoes or dress boots. But sneakers look better with suits when paired with a solid coloured tee shirt (a casual piece). Since sneakers ultimately bring down the formality, why not play around with the overall informal theme?They look different with dress shirts. Let me know what you guys think about this. Thanks!

I have a black hugo boss suit white ck dress shirt and wearing white air force 1s

This is one trend that I just wish would hurry up and die already! This one and the sockless look. But a I will say that leather sneakers will work a whole lot better with chino pants and a polo shirt, or jeans and a flannel shirt. Sneakers do have their place in the world, yes. But never with suits and tuxedos.

Key word there is a time and place for everything

i've never understood mixing casual with formal like the suit/sneaker combo. it just looks odd and immature, like the wearer is trying to be rebellious or a wiseass. it's bad enough when a thin young guy does it, but for a guy over 40 it's a ridiculous look.

Those Thursday sneakers are no joke. I put them on for date night and walk taller, shoot harder.

Hey Antonio. What about socks with sneakers and a suit?

The problem I run into wearing dress shoes with a suit is that I have large and wide feet. Because of that I have to order most of my shoes online since most brands or stores do not carry my size. So I am often forced to wear sneakers with my suits.

For the same reason you don't wear shoes with a tracksuit.

I'm okay with sneakers and a suit. However, I have never been okay with Converse Chucks with a tuxedo. Hated it in high school and hate it today.

April fools was more than a month ago. That is when you should've uploaded this video.

I would never consider wearing sneakers with suit, but looking recent year trends and people around, I wore sneakers with overcoat last winter. Herd mentality? What do you think, Antonio? Maybe another video idea for a fall... Thanks for the video.

No sorry. Some style rules can not be broken. Sneakers with a suit will never make the same stylish classy statement that a pair of formal dress shoes make. Sneakers with a suit is like the inferior wannabe among those with class.

Adidas Superstar, and Puma Suede all you need

Sneakers with a suit, maybe if your 9 years old and your mother has dressed you!

Instead of wearing sneakers I think a nice set of exotic cowboy boots would look much better.

So underrated

I'm glad you made this. I've always been a proponent of sneakers and suits, specifically chuck taylor all stars with a suit. Recently I've come across some people who have said that wearing sneakers with a suit is a big fashion faux paus, and whilst i do agree that for extremely formal situations it's taboo, for the occasions that you have listed, it's completely fine! The main occasions i do wear a suit, it's for a party or for my own personal enjoyment, so I wear what i think looks good.

Absolutely not! It just looks off to me. Finish the look with dress shoes!

There is a lot of flak being thrown at this Antonio. I do like the video and you taking an honest approach on it. In my opinion I am on the fence. Personally, I would not wear leather sneakers with a suit. I would wear a modified Oxfords with wider toe box due to my feet being wide and I don't like dress shoes. From the idea of Function Fit and Form, sneakers are usually meant for more casual settings. However Suits have either been forced to be more casual or died in all of the younger men's wardrobes lets be clear. This brings a new idea to the table. I also add another thing you said in your videos, "Know the Rules and purposefully Break Them" the right way. Sneakers are that. In the end, it is a style choice clearly devided amongst those more conservative and those looking at rules as guide lines. If done correctly it works. And what a better way to rebel and protest fashion if that is also the desire. Most dress shoes are binding on the foot and their vamps too tight for me. i think they are losing more of a battle in function than sneakers

Next video: when to order McDonald’s fries with lobster thermidor NEVER

Can definitely work with casual summer suits in cotton or linen. Especially if you wear the suit with a t-shirt (knitted is best as it gives the t-shirt a bit of structure over and above the norm₩

Only Converse look good with suits in my opinion. Always liked when a man is with a suit but with black converse

Sneakers with a suit says.. Hey I'm A Kid, What Do I Know.

It's like wearing dress shoes with a track suit.

White sneakers with a suit? Only if you lost your shoes Whats next flipflops?

Amazed you never mentioned David Tennant in Dr Who

I have seen a few people who can pull it off, but most just look like they're trying too hard to be edgy.

Your comment at 1:20 said it all...conservative, not a outdoor music festival...dress for success...

I'm trying out what car color/style matches my look. A lot of people will say your car doesn't really matter but I think it does. What do you think?

Why would anyone want to wear inappropriate footwear with a suit, when you can wear either dress shoes or dress boots?

Happy 3m

🙌

The right suit and the right shoes at the right moment !??

Many guys here are not in favour of sneakers / suits combo because they are too generalizing and are probably still in 80s and 90s of the 20 century. They do not realise that styles and forms have been changing both for sneakers and suits. Narrow sneakers sillouete and slim cut suits go well together for sure, it is just important that they are carefully combined. Not every type of sneakers and suits and in particular the occasion/event can be mixed but some can really make a killer look. These Monday Boots look good, especially in white and navy, not sure if they ship them to Europe.

Sir, I have been watching your videos for a long time and respect your consistent message and content output. As a young man and junior Marine on MSG Duty, I have been heavily drawn to your channel and looking to you for your insight in style and guidance on becoming a more competent, confident man. With that being, this video came to a shock to me. While I already know and accept coming into your videos that these are your opinions, this video seemed somewhat off brand. I’m sure your son looked great for his prom and I am happy for him to be able to experience the prom post pandemic, I think the sneakers should stay there as something of a memory for him, not something to bring into his future as a student, a serviceman or what have you. While the Overton window for acceptable menswear has been shifting more and more to the casual side, I would argue that we aren’t at sneakers and suits yet, nor would that be a positive direction in classic attire. Too many times have I walked into a mens retail store and been solicited by an overly trendy dressed man in a tight Neapolitan suit with a ridiculously high break and sneakers. I’ve had to walk away simply because I couldn’t take the man seriously! I may not be as staunch as Sven-Raphael at gentleman’s gazette, but I don’t think my judgement was unfounded. In my opinion if you’re dead set on having lapels and sneakers to blend in the rest with some jeans, I do it all the time. With all this being said I am looking forward to your videos every week, love your stuff, and my prayers go out to your family. Semper Fidelis!

Unless It’s a totally unconstructed 7 ounces linen suit in cream white with pignata pockets & spalla camicia shoulders, I am going to stick with dress shoes. Thank you. 🤣

Nope! Wondering if your son's date wore sneakers with her dress?

Sneakers with a suit looks juvenile. I lose respect for a man’s ability to make decisions when they wear sneakers with a suit because…sneakers were not designed to be worn with a suit. Sneakers are designed for casual occasions and athletic pursuits. ‘Form follows function’ is a tenet of a civilized society.

What about the socks?

I love all your content but for the first time I have to disagree. I may be old fashioned but I just can't see sneakers as appropriate with a suit.

Don't...just don't. Awful aesthetic. Dress like a refined professional when wearing a suit. Can you imagine your attorney wearing this? 😳

We've got a lot of by-the-book fuddy duddies in the comments😅

I would say that 18-years old is much too old for things like that. Before puberty, you can wear silly outfits. But as an adult you generally want to be respected and taken seriously. And you generally want to show other men respect - that's where the whole idea of a uniform/suit comes from. It's also a matter of consequence. If you want to fit in and wear something respectable, then wear it properly. There are many cool ways that you can make a suit/uniform more unique. If you don't care about fitting in for any reason or you just want to be comfortable and you don't want to show respect, then you should also be consequent and not dress up at all - like those modern billionaire CEOs, who always wear jeans and t-shirts. I think we can be more accepting of young guys making the mistake of wearing sneakers with a suit. I've made this mistake myself when I was about 14. But it's still a mistake.

Man there's a lot of salty comments on this one 😂. Great interesting vid as usual Antonio

To me it will always look ridicoulous

I wore it at my sisters wedding, everyone was like., what!! Well it my sisters wedding rightt

Why anyone would ever *want* to wear sneakers with a suit is forever beyond me. It just makes you look ridiculous.

If you are young and as good looking as you and your son, you can wear just about anything and look fantastic if your clothes fit and are carefully chosen to be appropriate for the occasion. If you are not as genetically fortunate or do not take adequate attention to keeping your body trim, you must be much more careful in selecting your outfits to conform to the constraints imposed by nature, such as body shape and proportions, face shape, height, neck length arm, length, skin color, complexion,etc. Neglecting any of these constraints and not very carefully dressing in response to natural constraints invariably produces unsatisfactory results.

you convinced me, used ur link for a pair of the old english.

*No it just looks like shlt.* Putting a used diaper on your head is also underrated but I don't see people doin it cuz of whatever bs they wana say.
