It's only August 5, but already, a maxi dress with sneakers is my go-to set of the month. My favorite fashion muses, Rihanna included, agree: It's far too hot for pants.
Our approaches differ when it comes to the color wheel, though. So far this month, I've worn an LBD with neutral New Balance 530s twice. Rihanna, meanwhile, counter-offered a neon alternative just hours ago. Pledging loyalty to Puma sneakers once again, she styled a green and silver pair from the label's April 2024 collab with Ottolinger. The $275 Mostro model mirrored the same low-profile silhouette of Speedcats, except with perforated metallic uppers, velcro straps, and neon spikes atop the rubber treads.
