The Colorful Sneaker We’ll Be Wearing on Repeat This Fall

A splash of color, whether it’s your handbag, jacket, or a piece of jewelry, has the power to transform even the most basic of outfits. Welcome: red sneakers.

When it comes to making a statement with minimal effort in 2025, a colour-pop sneaker—specifically, in a shade of stop-sign red—seems to have particular allure.

A satisfying mix of sporty and stylish, red sneakers as a trend sits halfway between casual staple and statement-making accessory, and has become a focal point for many an it-girl outfit this summer—that’s Emily Ratajkowski in a white linens and Iris Law’s urban, denim trompe l’oeil co-ord included.

But the best thing about this look? While red is enjoying a moment in the spotlight right now, we know it’s a shade that will transcend any seasonal trend fluctuations. The red sneaker can look just as good on holiday with shorts and a tank top as it will during the first days of fall—simply style with baggy jeans, a cashmere crewneck, and sand-coloured trench coat—on lazy weekends and in your 9-5 if styled with suit pants for some welcome juxtaposition.
