We all know a solid shoe collection isn't complete without a great pair of sneakers, but the past few years have shown how essential it is to own a stylish, versatile pair that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

While I already had a few sneakers that fit the bill, I couldn’t resist hunting down a chunky, metallic-detailed pair after seeing Jennifer Lawrence rock the style around town. That’s when I stumbled upon Madden Girl’s Playy Sneakers, available in both silver and white, and they’re now on sale for just $42 (originally $69)!

Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Helen Mirren, and Jane Fonda have all embraced the metallic shoe trend, proving it's here to stay. These $42 sneakers are affordable for getting the same look without breaking the bank. The metallic detailing makes them stand out while still being subtle enough to pair with various outfits.

One of the best things about these sneakers is how easy they keep clean. They can be spot cleaned easily, and spills or dirt wipe off quickly. I’ve been wearing them on dirt paths while walking my dog, and they still look as good as new. That’s a big win for me, especially since stylish shoes aren’t always practical for daily wear.
