The Roast
- Trainers or sneakers as you call them are some of the most timeless and versatile pieces of footwear ever made
- Earthy Tones across trainers have not only become the norm but can be styled effortlessly as we head towards Autumn
- Adding a pop of colour can elevate every outfit and can make your trainers really stand out from the barrage of monotone kicks that have become the norm
The New Neutrals: Earthy Tones Take Centre Stage
Are trainers still in fashion? Absolutely! But this year, classic white Sambas are taking a backseat to a wave of muted tones inspired by nature. Think beige, tan, cream, and rich chocolate browns โ these earthy hues are the ultimate "go-with-everything" heroes. Whatโs more these muted tones are not just versatile enough to go with most pieces in your wardrobe, but theyโll also help you fall in love with the most tricky time of the year, Autumn.
This trend was heavily championed by luxury brands like Miu Miu, Loewe, and The Row, and it quickly trickled down to everyday wear. Don't be afraid to pair your new neutral trainers with a floral maxi dress, a crisp pair of tailored trousers, or even a feminine skirt for a surprising yet sophisticated contrast.
Inspiration Alert: Check out these stunning women's trainer trends featuring neutral tones and pair a classic summer dress with Black Tulip's elegant trainers. Their sleek design complements a variety of dresses, from floral prints to solid colours, making them a versatile choice for office wear. Theyโre also a modern take on the age-old tennis trainer which has been making a comeback with a vengeance, especially as we wind down the UK summer.
Chunky Sole Power: The Dad Sneaker For Women Reigns Supreme
For a playful and bold statement, the "dad sneaker" trend is still going strong! These chunky-soled behemoths offer a touch of 90s nostalgia while adding a contemporary edge to your look. Brands like New Balance, Asics, and On are leading the charge with their comfortably supportive kicks perfect for all-day wear, but buck the trend and go for something a little different and designed in the UK like our perfect Arbi Sleek Sneakers that are not just a throwback to 90s nostalgia but a true breakout bestseller that is crafted consciously using sustainably-sourced materials plus LWG-certified leather.
(What kinds of sneakers are in style right now?) Think platform soles, exaggerated proportions, and a mix of mesh and suede for a truly standout aesthetic. Embrace the women's trainer trends by pairing these statement sneakers with a flowy midi dress, a sleek pair of leggings, or even a classic denim on denim ensemble.

Now while looking for your next โDad Sneakerโ, you may also be wondering, โAre White Sneakers Still Trendy?โ, the answer is a resolute YES! White Sneakers across styles go well with pretty much any item in your wardrobe and are timeless in the sense that no matter what fashion trends come and go, they are sure to be a staple through the decades. A fresh white chunky pair like our Arbi Sneaker in Natural Tan, are perfect to go from your workday to all your evening sojourns.
Combining Formal and Casual Elements
Outfit Ideas: Opt for smart blouses paired with tailored trousers or skirts. Incorporate summer colours and patterns to keep your look fresh.
Matching Shoes:ย Ankle boots are perfect for achieving a smart casual lookย . They provide a formal touch while remaining versatile enough for a relaxed dress code.
A Pop of Colour: Embrace Bold and Playful Hues
While neutrals are having a moment, don't be afraid to inject some personality into your look with a pair of brightly coloured trainers. From vibrant pinks and fiery reds to cheerful greens and cool blues, the options are endless.
What colour trainers go with everything? โ Neutrals are a safe bet, but don't be afraid to experiment! A pop of colour can elevate a plain outfit and make a lasting impression. Pair your colourful kicks with a monochrome outfit to make them the star of the show, or coordinate them with other pieces in your ensemble for a more cohesive look.
Colour also plays an important part on not just how you're portrayed but an individualistic expression of your mood on a particular day. As we mentioned earlier, greens are considered to be cheerful and can instantly brighten up any day! If youโre looking to experiment and add that dash of green, try our Botanical Green Arbi Sneaker.
The Art of Mixing: Sneakers with Dresses, a Match Made in Fashion Heaven
Gone are the days when trainers were strictly reserved for casual wear. Thanks to the "wrong shoe" trend popularised by Scandinavian fashionistas, pairing sneakers with dresses is not only acceptable but downright chic.
Are Sneakers with a dress in style? Absolutely! From feminine tea-length frocks to sleek slip dresses, trainers add a touch of unexpected coolness and comfort to your outfit. Play with textures by contrasting a delicate floral dress with chunky sneakers, or keep things streamlined with a minimalist slip dress and sleek runners. This trend is all about experimenting and finding what works for you. And the classic crisp white dress with an all-white trainer is one look thatโs sure to never go out of style!
If you like to wear dresses which are a bit more understated and muted or if you prefer to wear them to work, one way to style your dresses with trainers could be to pair them with a classic pair of black sneakers like our Arbi.ย
The Rise of the Retro Revival: Vintage-Inspired Styles
Looking for a nostalgic touch in your footwear? Look no further than the resurgence of vintage-inspired trainers. Iconic silhouettes like the Adidas Samba, New Balance 574, and Converse Chuck Taylor All Star are making a comeback with modern updates and fresh colorways. But while these big brands are always first to any sort of revival, have you considered the impact they make on our environment?
Being a large brand often means trying to produce more than whatโs actually required to increase margins and profit! Why not go the extra mile and truly stand out with slow fashion brands that are redefining fashion and footwear as you know it?
What toe shape is in style in 2024? While the toe shape can vary, round toes are generally more popular for a retro-inspired look. However, pointed toes can also add a touch of sophistication. Just be mindful that the more you experiment with the shape of your trainers there is bound to be some rubbing which may later be a cause for some discomfort. To remedy this, the best course of action would be at the start to wear your trainers daily for a couple of days and break into them properly, before you decide to switch up and experiment with your trainer game.
Embrace this trend by pairing your vintage-inspired sneakers with a high-waisted denim jacket, a vintage-inspired tee, or a classic trench coat. Our Cassava Classic Tennis Trainers are one such style that are a modern update to classic tennis trainers which have all become a rage today.
