Overhemden combineren met sneakers: zo doe je dat stijlvol

How to Wear a Shirt with Sneakers (Without Looking Understated)

Sneakers are no longer just for weekends. They're comfortable, modern, and – when styled right – totally compatible with a shirt. But how do you keep the look stylish and sharp, without it feeling mismatched?

At Vercate, we believe in timeless style with a modern edge. Whether you’re heading to the office or out to dinner, here’s how to combine your shirt with sneakers without compromising elegance.


1. 👕 Pick the right shirt

Not every shirt works with sneakers. Skip the stiff business shirt and go for something more relaxed and stylish:

  • A knitted shirt with an open collar

  • A cutaway collar shirt with clean lines

  • Shirts in soft tones like white, light blue, or taupe

2. 👖 Pair with chinos or tailored trousers

Balance is key. Sneakers and shirts need a bottom half that looks clean but not overly formal:

  • Slim-fit chinos in navy, sand, or olive

  • Textured wool trousers for a refined edge

🚫 Avoid ripped jeans or sporty joggers – they undercut the look.

3. 👟 Keep your sneakers sleek and clean

Your sneakers complete the look – keep them minimal and polished:

  • Go for white leather or suede taupe

  • Avoid bold logos or bright colors

  • Always keep them clean and tidy

💡 Pro tip: white sneakers + light blue shirt + sand chino = 🔥


4. 🧥 Add layering for extra style

Want to take it further? Add a sweater or overshirt over your shirt:

  • Choose a knit sweater in neutral tones

  • Let your collar peek through

  • Roll up your sleeves slightly for a laid-back vibe
