In theory, the dress code of work tends towards a certain stylistic elitism by selecting only a few basic ones - like the academic shirt, the agreed pant pants and the classic moccasins. But in practice, the workwear style admits a few exceptions, starting with sneakers. Formerly, synonymous with a certain laissez-faire dress, they today embody the casual-chic movement. Ideal for dedramatizing the solemn aspect of the work uniform.

White basketball

Basic among the basics, the white basketball, style Stan Smith, wins a stylistic triumph for several years. Signature accessory of "cool people", the immaculate basketball adopts a purest design in perfect match with the sophistication worked of the workwear style. From tailor pants to pencil skirts, it counteracts the severity of a cut and the sobriety of a hue, without ever doing too much.

The slip-on

Pioneer in design, the slip-on, appanage skaters in the 90s, performs a stylistic reclassification: dressed in precious stones at Roger Vivier, all leather model Tod's and knotted with a ribbon at Burberry ... Des airs urban moccasins that give him a real credibility in the office.

The basketball revisited

Other brands favor the reinsertion of basketball in the workwear locker room by looking for resemblances to more formal models: similarity of stylistic features with the famous derbies at Robert Clergerie, the look of moccasins at Cosmo Paris adorned with stones ... A perfect job to pass neither seen nor known.
