31 Shoes in 31 Days: Day 16
Alison Pegg
Shoes have always been a cornerstone of my wardrobe, they’re part of my signature style. As the world starts to open up and we venture out again, I’m sharing a sneak peek into some of my collection, and the story each pair has to tell.
The thing I enjoy most about collecting sneakers is how a pair can go from fresh to iconic with relative ease and become building blocks for a pretty solid sneaker wardrobe.
If I were to suggest a list of sneakers to include for an investment wardrobe, the Nike Cortez would be one of those pairs. Around since the 1970s, they’re nostalgic and current at the same time. Their look is sleek, with the oval-shaped toe and super flattering low-cut ankle, but most importantly, they are ridiculously comfortable.
I love to dress full-on minimalist in my pair, a black t-shirt dress, a white baseball hat, and a crossbody bag, but I also love these with a great pair of denim cutoff shorts and white tee in summer or a pair of leggings and an oversized tunic sweater when the weather gets chillier.
