The Shoes That Get Our Editors Through Busy Days In Style IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Kenneth Cole
As fashion editors, our days can be insanely fast-paced. From meetings with brands to preparing for shoots, our hectic schedules require us to find ways to look polished while we're on the go. And because we're constantly running around, we seek shoes that are truly comfortable, versatile and, of course, stylish. Which is why we're fans of Kenneth Cole sneakers—they strike the perfect balance. The brand now offers TECHNI-COLE™ footwear with 37.5® Technology, which aims to keep body temperature at 37.5 Celsius via active particles in the shoes that wick away moisture and retain heat when it's cold out (they also trap odor molecules so we feel fresh all day). Offered in a range of designs and colors, these kicks are practical and easy to dress up for any occasion. Here, we show you how two TZR editors wear their TECHNI-COLE™ sneakers according to their own style sense. Follow them and shop the essentials below.

Morning Yoga
Squeezing in a little exercise before work is an ideal start to a busy day. Fashion editor Amy loves a good outdoor yoga session, and platform patent-leather sneakers are comfy and chic for walking to and from the studio. Even when she breaks a sweat, they keep cool. Try them with an oversize hoodie and mesh-panel leggings.

Model Fittings
Editorial director Nicky hits the ground running with a fitting for a photo shoot. Classic white kicks won't hurt her feet as she moves around dressing the model. The clean design allows her to play with color in her outfit via a bright blue ruffled skirt, which she tempers with a ribbed knit top and a black sweater tied over the shoulders for good measure.

Grabbing A Coffee
After a few hours dedicated to writing at her desk, Amy steps out for a quick caffeine fix with coworkers at nearby Carrera Cafe. To elevate her jeans-and-tee uniform for work, a moto jacket and fun sparkly glitter kicks do the job.
Lunch Meeting
For important meetings, Nicky relies on a tailored checked blazer for polish. Corduroy pants in a rich hue add texture and suede high-tops work seamlessly into the professional yet fashion-forward outfit.
Pulling For Photo Shoots
When trekking between multiple showrooms to choose clothes and accessories for shoots, Amy consistently reaches for sleek white sneakers. They're easy to pair with various separates and keep her looking fresh while running all over the city. She teams hers with a striped mock-neck tank, ponte leggings and delicate drop-hoop earrings.

Post-Work Drinks
Proving trainers make the perfect day-to-night accessory, Nicky dons them in the evening for drinks at Norah with a vibrant printed maxi and blazer. Although the frock is dressy, stark white shoes with eye-catching gold stripes are a fantastic base and a cool-girl alternative to heels. Plus, they're so much easier on the feet.
