Sporty chic has been en vogue since the last couple of seasons. Be it the Bambi sweatshirts at Givenchy or the recent pairing of the backpacks with saris at Masaba's Satya Paul show or Huemn pairing sweatshirts with embellished skirts - fashion has all been about sporty chic. However, this season at Paris couture week when Dior and Chanel paired their haute couture gowns with a pair of comfy embellished sneakers, it was a moment of reckoning.

My feet will be on my heels till the day I die. God forbid! I won't be caught dead in a pair of sneakers. You have to be young and should be able to carry off the sporty chic look. Fashion is all about wearing what makes you happy. I ain't going anywhere without my heels.

I can get away with ditching the high heels thanks to my height. In the past, I've worn embellished flip flops with a gown since it manages to hide the footwear. However, an evening gown is about elegance and you can't compare a pair of heels to sneakers or wedges. I would say I'd oscillate between sneakers during the day and heels in the night. I am classic in my dressing. I like ankle trainers from Isabel Marant. I have a penchant for high-top sneakers and I tend to wear them in white.

I'd never get into a pair of sneakers for sure. High top trainers and embellished sneakers have been in vogue internationally for quite sometime now but I don't ever see myself wearing them for a black tie event. It'll always be heels for the evenings.

I think embellished sneakers are very cool. I would wear my converse sneakers as they spell both comfort and also high-octane glamour. I'm all for sporty chic.
