Bookworm Cottage Style

Adidas Gazelles have been one of the “it shoes” of the past year, and as a comfort-loving style enthusiast, I am dying to get in on this trend. These retro-inspired sneakers come in nearly every color of the rainbow and below are the ones that I keep coming back to. Pretty much all of these color combos are sold out (I know, I know, such a useless roundup), so your best bet is typing in the color combo + your size into google and seeing what your options are across online retailers and resale sites. I hear they run big, so will probably try some on in person before committing.

1. Beam Pink / Solar Red
2. Semi Green Spark / Almost Yellow
3. Collegiate Red / Lucid Pink / Core White
4. Semi Green Spark / Screaming Orange / Core White
5. Easy Orange / Clear Mint
6. Collegiate Green / White / Lucid Pink
7. Collegiate Green / Hazy Sky

When it comes to styling Adidas Gazelles, I feel like anything goes. Below are a few of my favorite outfit formulas from the blogosphere. Most of these are jeans outfits (which means I don’t have to worry about how high or low my cringey millennial socks are), but I’ve also seen cute looks pairing Gazelles with sundresses. Anytime I want to wear sneakers but am unsure if they’ll make or break the look, I just tell myself I’m doing the “wrong shoe theory” and call it a day.
