If you're two months away from the ceremony and you still don't have your shoes ready, it's time to go out and get them. Of course, they don't have to be the traditional black shoes if they don't really suit you.

Today more than ever, wedding shoes are in vogue and they adapt to different styles, but without losing elegance. The key is to choose the right ones and, if it deserves it, combine them with other garments of your look.

Except for those who choose to wear a tailcoat or morning coat, everyone else will be free to wear sneakers at their wedding, because the versatility of this footwear offers a very wide range Check out some examples below:

  • Modern bride and groom : A traditional suit or even a tuxedo, accompanied by sneakers, is able to cause that wow effect so sought after. Whether the suit with or without tie, in a light or dark color, the sneakers will give an original, modern and chic touch to your style.
  • Hipster boyfriends Hipster style, which is characterized by buttoned waistcoats, suspenders, ties and slim-fit trousers, is perfectly complemented by sneakers. In fact, hipster grooms often go for sneakers in vibrant colors.
  • Rustic bride and groom If you are getting married in the countryside with a more casual outfit, for example, without a jacket, you can also finish your look with a pair of comfortable sneakers. If your suit will be in beige or camel tones, a pair of dark brown lace-up sneakers will look perfect.
  • Millennial boyfriends For an urban/casual wedding, for example, a proposal is to wear joggers, a shirt without a tie, a jacket and sneakers. Or, for a beach wedding, an ecru linen suit with white sneakers will captivate the future Y generation spouses.
  • Rockabilly boyfriends If you are a follower of this movement, a pair of black or red sneakers will be the perfect complement to your outfit, regardless of the outfit you are wearing. Rocker, grunge or metal boyfriends will also be more comfortable with sport shoes than with a pair of brogues.
