However, the most notable origin is in 2018 when Bigger Than Sneakers and two other organizations organized a fundraising party for some underprivileged youths. At that party, men dressed up in tuxedos and sneakers and women in gowns and sneakers.

Currently, the sneaker ball is one of the popular formal parties. This is so because most organizations like Nike adopted the idea. However, although the event is for charity activities, it’s become a great way to network, have fun and, of course, showcase outfits.

As I stated in a post about baddie birthday outfits, as far as fashion goes, black is a color of elegance. Although some people believe that putting on a black outfit at a birthday is bad luck, a black thigh-high slit silky dress is still perfect for a sneaker ball party outfit and a birthday outfit.

There are lots of thigh-high slit dresses that you can choose from. However, the one that fascinates me is this black V-neck long dress. It’s chic and perfect for a sneaker ball party.

This dress, with a cute tribal like the Fulani box braids, can be paired with most low-heel sneakers. If braids are not your thing, just straighten your long or wear a long lace front wig and you’ll look impressive as well.

This dress is for girls who want a simple yet stunning dress. It’s a mock neck bodycon dress in lilac purple.

It’s got a back slit and formfitting fabric making it easy to highlight your feminine superpowers like booty and breast. The major limitation of this outfit is its neckline.

The mock neck kills most chances of wearing a necklace. Of course, you can wear it over the mock neck but it doesn’t look to me –especially for the occasion. If you want accessories that go well with this dress, you should be thinking of earrings.

12.  Black V-neck Mini Dress

Another gorgeous dress for a sneaker ball party is the black V-neck mini dress. It’s a bodycon dress with a high front and sleeveless arms.

To say the least, the dress is so cute. The main limitation is that people can consider it as less formal than a sneaker ball. But I’ve still included it as girls are now wearing bodycon dresses to a sneaker ball party.

You can wear it with black and white sneakers. The dress provides enough space for wearing a necklace thanks to the V-neck.

13. Sky blue silky dress

This short backless dress is so stunning. You can wear it with a long sky-blue coat.

In terms of shoes, white sneakers will work just great. However, if you can find a pair of sky-blue sneakers, you should wear them.

14.  Split Thigh Leather Dress

Leather is indisputably an elegant material for outfits. If you agree with me, you should wear a split-thigh leather dress to this year’s sneaker ball.

The thigh-high slit and the sleeveless arms, not to mention the fabric, make the dress a must-have for a sneaker ball. You can wear it with a white, or black fur long coat.

As for sneakers, white or burgundy sneakers will be great. But if you can find a black and white sneakers, go ahead and wear them.

15. Red Jordan sneaker ball sequin dress

Sequin is another great material for a dress. So you wouldn’t err from wearing a sequin dress with red Jordan sneakers.

The other awesome sneaker ball dress is this silky pink dress. Just like red, pink is a color of love. So wear it when you’re going to the party with your man to demonstrate your unwavering love for him.

If you don’t like the one in the picture, you can select a pink dress that matches your expectation. As a rule of thumb, you need to select a gown dress or a bodycon dress in pink.

Not every color goes well with a pink outfit. You need to select white sneakers or burgundy sneakers.
