I’m fairly short, so the chunky dad sneaker trend is a personal fave of mine because it gives me a sneaky extra boost of height and is way more comfy than donning some platform heels. I’m on my feet a LOT so while I lust after ultra-bulky sneakers, I also have to ensure they’re not so heavy they’ll weigh me down. So, when I heard that Buffalos, the ultimate ‘90s kicks, were coming back, I was ecstatic – they’re the tried, tested and budget-approved OG chunky sneaker and I need them back in my rotation immediately.
Of course, you can’t think about Buffalos without thinking of the Spice Girls, so I’d base my look on a contemporary, 2017 version of Sporty Spice. Pairing these bold white Buffalos ($183 USD) with some crisp track pants like these Reebok ones ($65 USD) kicks off the nostalgic look. I’d team this with a bright red crop-top to inject some color – this racerback bra by Wasted Paris ($30 USD) is perfect. Another unmissable trend this season has been the oversized puffer jacket and this metallic silver one by SJYP ($512 USD) has a real futuristic feel. To finish off, I’d add this Nasaseasons nike air max infinity 2 running shoes mens sizes “Forbidden Desires” cap ($79 USD) which does a great job of tying the look together and keeping your hair in check while you pretend like you’ve just returned from some kind of space-age workout session.

When I was first introduced to the “dad sneaker” trend, it was love at first sight. I’ve always been very into the “ugly fashion” vibe, and a chunky sneaker is just that; unconventional and stylish beyond compare.

Since I live in Hong Kong, it honeymoon’t get too cold so I love playing off the weird silhouette by wearing a huge, over-sized hoodie like this one from Vetements ($990 USD). With it I just throw on a pair of simple, yet comfortable shorts ($48 USD) and a pair of high socks ($85 USD). Since the socks have a pop of yellow, I love matching that small accent color with my autry action shoes wmns autry 01 low aulwbb for an extra bold statement. To finish off the look I grab my COMME des GARÇONS ($125 USD) leather pouch and a red lipstick ($17.50 USD), and I’m ready to go.

There’s nothing that says “dad sneaker” quite like New Balance. The brand’s made its name on said status quo and its an authentic one at that. Dads actually wear New Balance.

You can’t do dad without the oversized grey sweatpants and I can suggest no better alternative than YEEZY Season 5. Emily Oberg’s “Sporty & Green” T-shirt ($55 USD) completes the upper and at this point, I admit there needs a little more to accent. fiorucci x adidas wmns magmur sandal 2018 snakeskin raincoat and merrell snowbound winter boots sz 9 40 b used vgc ($68 USD) give me the muted oomph needed and to top all, is Gentle Monster x SSENSE’s red and gold Plip sunglasses ($215 USD).
