It’s about time you finally provide some real attention to those sneakers in your closet. If they’re nearing the point where they could be considered “lived in” rather than stylish, perhaps it’s time for a refresh. Luckily, the Fall 2024 sneaker trends are all about blending style with comfort. It will be easier than ever to find the perfect pair to step up your shoe game this season.
Today they are an indispensable part of any fashionable wardrobe, and one can style them in a gazillion ways. Whether you like basic designs or big and loud pieces that make statements on their own, the season will have something in store for each one. Let’s jump into the best sneaker trends of fall 2024 you can include in your everyday outfits.
- Ballet sneakers: A dose of elegance in sport
For years now, the ballet flat has reigned supreme as the shoe for comfort and style, but for this season, the ballet flat is getting an upgrade and an extra shot of sportiness. It’s a perfect blend of feminine elegance with casual cool—a perfect shoe for looking a little pulled together for the errand run or casual brunch. The shoes usually boast soft and pliable materials that mold to the feet, providing the same comfortability of the former, but with added support and just a touch of street style. - New Neutrals: Beyond Basic White
White sneakers will always hold a special spot in our hearts and closets, but this fall, it’s all about exploring new neutral tones. Think soft beiges, warm taupes, and even muted pastels that give a fresh spin on the classic sneaker. These colors are so versatile, pairing really well with just about anything in your wardrobe. Whether at work during the day or on casual weekends, these will be your go-to. - Platform Sneakers: Height in Comfort
If you love the idea of gaining a little altitude without the comfort sacrifices, platform sneakers definitely fall under the shoes to watch. These shoes should be treasured by you: chic elevation from heels, and at the same time, you feel at ease and comforted by sneakers. This season, they come in huge diversity, from sleekly minimal to chunkily bold, which makes the platform really the best of both worlds. Going to a concert or wanting to add little fun and flair to your daily style checklist, make sure the platform sneakers are the way to go. - Retro-Sporty Styles: Back to the Future
Nostalgia is charged with fashion more than ever, and certainly sneakers make no exception to this rule. Retro-sporty styles are back and stronger than ever, with brands reworking some of their classics from the ’70s, ’80s, and even ’90s. Expect bright colors, old-school logos, and material elements like suede and mesh. Throw them into a look with modern pieces for a chic contrast, or go all vintage with high-waisted jeans and a retro tee, and you’re sure to be giving off some serious old-school vibes. - Metallic Accents: Shining Bright
If there is something you just can’t keep away from, it has to be some added glitter on those feet. Metallic sneakers are just that. With much ado, the trend takes a bit of glamour to casual wear, from understated metallic accents to full glitter and glow. These sneakers really work well with people who make a statement, but without really going all out. Wear them with neutral outfits to give your shoes center stage, or pair them with equally loud clothes for a real attention grabber. - Sports Kicks: Functional Never Looked so Good
For those who love working out without sacrificing style, sporty sneakers perfectly fit the bill. This trend is about performance-driven design but without holding back on aesthetics. Think high-tech materials, innovative soles, and sleek silhouettes that look just as good on the track as they do on the street. Whether you are hitting the gym or need to be on your feet all day, sporty kicks have got you covered. - Mary Jane Sneakers for a Playful Twist
Mary Janes are classically feminine, but this fall they’re sneaker. Think Mary Jane mixed up with the low down, easy going style of your favorite, worn-in sneakers. Mary Janes Sneakers fuse the sweet girlish appeal of the classic Mary Janes with the casualness of a sneaker. Many of these shoes have very distinctive straps across the top that make them lively and chic at the same time. They could be perfect to add a touch of whimsy to your dress, be it a skirt or a frock or even on a pair of jeans. - Playing with Materials: Adding Textured Fabrics
Texture seems to be the style of the season, and it’s coming on really strong now with sneaker designs. From quilted patterns to faux fur and velvet, textured sneakers are all availing dimension and interest to any outfit. The shoes are, after all, all about playing with various materials to achieve an endearing look. You could team them up with some simple, understated clothes to bring out the textures or go all out with outfits which do play around with material and layers. - Colorblocked Designs: Bold and Bright
Color blocking is that trend that resists dying, and here is why. For the fall season, color-blocked sneakers have the hue of color narratives with bright combinations and make a statement. Whether you like your hues bright and clashing or more tonal and mellow, there’s a color-blocked sneaker in here for everybody. In fact, it’s just the way to add some pop to an outfit dominated by duller colors. - Eco-Friendly Sneakers: Sustainable
Sustainability is way more than just a buzzword—it’s a movement that’s reshaping the industry, and sneakers are no exception. Eco-friendly sneakers, made from such sustainable resources as recycled materials and organic cotton, are accruing ever-increasing popularity. Brands find host to witty ways plying their eco-friendly mantra while not giving up on style. If you are one who is more conscious about your footwear, then eco-friendly sneakers are a good place to start.
