7 Ways To Style Your Sneakers With Everything In Your Closet

7 Ways To Style Your Sneakers With Everything In Your Closet

As a desi who attended public schools in many Indian states, a better part of my childhood was spent in regulation uniform paired with cute mary-janes. Having a flair for style, it was difficult for me given the outfit choices were limited to these uniforms, and later boy-clothes my mom bought from the local wholesale store. So, in addition to me constantly tugging and teasing my outfits to make them look cool, I needed to be equipped with a smart pair of shoes that won’t give up on me just after one summer. And these shoes, much like every other pre-teen in the country, were almost exclusively from Bata. 

Having said that, I lost touch with the shoes from Bata once I hit thirteen and only wanted to wear cuter styles that were fished out of streetside piles by the roadside. The only times I did visit the store were with my father, who picked out work shoes, or my mom who stocked up on jelly sandals before Mumbai rains hit. Yet, the image of my Bata school shoes braving heavy-duty dance rehearsals always stuck with me. This is why, when I recently stumbled onto a store to quickly pick up some flats (my heels broke on the way to work), I was dumbfounded to see the sheer variety of stylish shoes in their new collection.

From embellished party flats to fiery red pumps that will slay with all of my LBDs, it felt like shoe heaven in there. My millennial heart leaped with joy- I could have pretty shoes that would last.. The star of the show, however, was the incredible sneakers. As someone who has been obsessed with ‘Sneakerhead’ culture, I was excited. Finally, I can start building my sneaker collection, which is okay, because you can wear them with literally anything.

Don’t believe me? Check out these unique ways to style your Bata sneakers with everything in your closet!
