While sneakers are cool year round, they become a staple in all of our wardrobes as the weather gets colder. 

Every year it feels like there is a new ‘it’ sneaker and it can be hard to keep up with what will be in for this season. With winter just around the corner, we’ve rounded up the sneaker trends you’ll be seeing more of this autumn/winter so we can all be in the know. 

From stylish suede sneakers, to dad-style chunky pairs, scroll on for five sneaker trends we’ll all be loving this season. 

Suede is undoubtedly one of the biggest incoming trends this season, so it is no wonder we are seeing so many suede sneakers on our timelines. 

From Miu Miu to adidas, suede sneakers (especially brown ones) and suede-look shoes are the ‘it’ style to know. Whether you’re looking to go high-end and grab a designer pair or opt for a classic alternative, the pair you pick will undoubtedly see you through the next few seasons, too. Seems like a good investment to us. 

Vintage is always in, but especially this season. Expect to see vintage-inspired sporty trainers, with the likes of the adidas Taekwondo and the Puma Speedcats taking over. With a slim fit and colourways galore, don’t expect this trend to be going anywhere anytime soon, either.

Minimalistic, yet still bold and fun – silver sneakers are ‘it’ baby! Metallic footwear is on the rise and a simple pair of silver sneakers are the perfect way to buy into the trend without going too crazy. adidas and Onitsuka Tiger have the perfect pairs for those of us that want to grab a fun new pair of sneakers for the new season.

Arising from the popularity of ballet-core comes a new wave of trending sneakers, ballet sneakers. Fashion heavy-weights in Axel Arigato, Miu Miu, Moncler and even a Salomon x Sandy Liang collab have accelerated this trend into the next big thing for 2025. 

A combination of the recent revival of the ballet flat and fashion’s love for street style, this trend is going to be hard to miss and with so many options on the market, expect to see much more of it this winter. 

After being around for a couple of years now and sported by celebs like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, dad sneakers are entering a new era. The trend has evolved over the years but in 2025, expect to see dad sneakers with a bit of a twist. Originally designed for hiking, this trend of outdoor-wear worn as street-wear is here to stay in 2025 and while very cool-girl, it is also the epitome of practicality.
