There was a time when I could emphatically state that you’d never find neon green leather high-top sneakers among the shoes in my closet. These days, though, things I previously couldn’t imagine myself wearing are becoming more interesting to me. I’m learning that just about anything can be made to look good when mixed and matched with the right pieces; and it can be a good thing to expand your style horizons.
Who wears neon green leather high-top sneakers?
I might have asked this question once upon a time. Neon colors have always seemed like they only appeal to people with a more off-the-wall sense of fashion, but these days neon has become fairly mainstream. Of course, trends phase out eventually; and for all I know, the neon trend may already be a thing of the past.
I guess some people would suggest neon sneakers are for teenagers. You’re probably more likely to see these Gucci neon green leather high-top sneakers on a teenage girl’s feet. Some older women might be reluctant to wear them for fear people will accuse them of trying to look younger than their age. You know how people love to get on older women’s case for trying to look younger.
High-top sneakers are often thought of as more popular with young people, but plenty of women in their mid-twenties and beyond love and wear the style.
