What the stylist says
Allia Al Rufai, who has been styling the likes of Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and Nargis Fakhri, says, “White works with everything. It’s the easiest way to sport sneakers with a variety of silhouettes. Pair a flirty dress with sneakers to look chic as well as sporty. It helps to play it down a bit and make it look casual.

Sharp, slim-fit clothes such as pencil skirts might not work too well with them. You can also pair them to make your wardrobe adapt from day to night, by changing to heels for an evening out. While one can play with colours, invest in white, pastels or beige, that are neutral shades and go with different styles.”

If prints are your thing, go for these platform floral-printed plimsolls.
