Sneakers are now an all year round choice of footwear, especially high tops. Many women will opt for a basic, well made white leather trainer. This sneaker will go with everything in your closet and will never steer you wrong and will wear out long before it would ever go out of style. However, some people love a good throw back, retro style. A sneaker to wear on those special occasions where a simple white Converse, Nike, Reebok or Addias won’t suffice. It’s these occasions where you can pull out all the stops and wear a high top. High tops provide both ankle support and a hip vibe.
High Tops pair well with jean; and a few recommendations include:
A cropped wide ankle length jean. This will show off your new high tops and add length to your legs.
A mom jean, rolled up at the bottom, is a cool, casual way to accentuate our street style.
And finally a relaxed fit jean, is made even more comfortable with a trendy high top sneaker.
A few trends available in high tops include those that have a size zipper, a back zipper or an old school lace up sneaker. And remember if you need to buy new laces for your high tops, they do require a longer lace at least 62” and up to 72” in length.
A few things to look for in a well made high top sneaker is Italian leather. You want a leather that will wear well. Next are the eyelets. Are they loose? Do the laces easily slide in and out? And finally if there is a zipper access, does the zipper go up and down easily and is it sewn properly into place?

This must-have silhouette is also proving that the days of wearing boring trainers are over. Embassy London’s new high tops include bright colors, patterned leather, metallic accents and an overall flashy addition to a pair of daily black leggings.
