Just because you're going for a run doesn't mean you can't look stylish. Today's running shoes combine technical features and function with a fair degree of fashion, allowing even the most dedicated runner to sport an athletic-chic vibe that looks as great running errands around town as it does hitting the trails. Here are a few of the most fashionable running shoe choices for women.

Puma Complete Ventis 2. This fashion-forward shoe, which retails for about $100, sports a girly raspberry pink color scheme with sleek silver accents. Although this shoe is designed for neutral runners, it's packed with technical features such as a super-lightweight midsole and duoCELL cushioning. Enhanced heel fit design and reflective trim round out the special features of this stylish running shoe.

Saucony Grid Flex. This running shoe sports a cool, slightly retro vibe for the hip and fashionable runner. Available for about $70, the Saucony Grid Flex offers an extra durable sole with loads of traction, making it a great choice for wet conditions or trail running. It's breathable mesh construction and neutral-gait midsole add to the Grid Flex's versatility as a running shoe. But if you simply like to flaunt your running shoes as part of your casual lifestyle, this shoe looks trendy and stylish with jeans, chinos and active wear.

Nike N7 LunarGlide+3. You'll feel fast, fleet and fashionable in this Nike model. This distance running shoe is perfect for overpronators who also need substantial cushioning. It's got great style, with a black color scheme trimmed in bright turquoise with tiny flashes of red and yellow. The Nike N7 LunarGlide+3 looks as chic with flashy running gear as it does with leggings or yoga pants as you run around town or relax at home. Retailing for about $100, this shoe is both lightweight and breathable, so it's super comfortable for long distances or a long day.

Asics Hyper-RocketGirl XCS. This shoe is a cross-country flat, sleek and speedy for races and streamlined for pre- or post-run wear. Its black, white, and hot pink color scheme is trendy and bright, and at only $55, this shoe is a great value. Some of its technical features include a thin SpEVA midsole, low profile design for faster running and solid but lightweight cushioning system inside. Its solid rubber outsole gives this flat great traction, whether you're hitting the ground running or simply having a busy day.
