Sneakers give perfect blend of both that you can enjoy long festive nights without compromising on fashion. This mix-and-match trend brings a quirky-chic vibe while remaining practical.

A crisp, elegant white sneaker paired with a pastel kurta presents with a fresh look. White sneakers like Air Force 1's are a good base that can do balance well for bright ethnic colors. This one, if minimalist and modern, has got to be a winner.
