I am a disabled 53-year-old woman who will be attending a post-wedding dinner for my nephew. I have to wear tennis shoes to accommodate a leg brace. What can I wear to this dinner?

–J. Gregory

There are three ways you can go, look for a maxi dress or wide-leg soft slacks to wear with a special occasion jacket. For a special occasion jacket, see what I mean at maria-pucci.com. The last is the most fun. There are a lot of pretty racy spectacular sneakers out there called designer sneakers. Go to net-a-porter.com and click on ‘sneakers.’ Scroll down and look at these: Isabel Etoile Marant leopard-print sneakers; Jimmy Choo Demi flocked velvet slip-on sneakers; Jimmy Choo Tokyo studded suede high-top sneakers; Isabel Marant leather Etoile Bart sneakers; Adidas By Stella McCartney; Jimmy Choo Demi flocked sequined slip-on sneakers; Common Projects Metalic leather slip-on sneakers; Saint Laurent Leopard-print glossed-leather slip-on sneakers; Common Projects Original Achilles leather sneakers and Rag & Bone Kent waxed-suede sneakers (black). My point is this. If sneakers are going to be an ongoing part of your wardrobe, invest in one pair of dress-up sneakers that you can wear for special occasions.
