Environmentally friendly sneakers
Fashion and sustainability are a match made in heaven – that's why eco-friendly sneakers are an unmissable trend for Fall/Winter 2020. It can be a challenge to find eco-friendly sneakers that also look good, but Veja sneakers are not only fashionable, but are also known for their ethical production and eco-friendly practices. Celebrities such as Reese Whiterspoon and Meghan Markle, and many influencers have all been photographed wearing the affordable, durable sneaker with the big V.
Multicolor sneakers
If you don't know what color sneaker to buy, go for a multicolor model. Multicolored sneakers are popular this season. From bright and light pastels to high contrast hues, expect to see lots of multicolor sneakers pass you by on the street. In other words:this is a continuation of the color blocking trend or the countertrend of the classic white sneaker.
Chunky sneakers
The 90s are back in style this season, and chunky sneakers are an absolute must-have for this fall season. Take your street style to the next level with this style. For these sneakers, the chunkier, the better. Also known as 'dad sneakers', these fall shoes go well with straight-leg jeans, among other things. But they can also be combined well with leggings, jogging pants, and under a tight dress or skirt.
Retro sneakers
With all the technology out there today, sometimes it's nice to go back to basics. Retro sneakers are booming this year and are the perfect complement to everything from sweatpants to a pair of jeans. The 80s have made a full comeback and so have sneakers. Vintage-inspired sneaker styles are back, from rounded toes to light pastels and vibrant colors. Which means they can be an ideal way to add a touch of vibrancy to even the most understated outfit. Distinctive designs can be found at brands such as Diadora, Hoff and Lina Locchi.
High sneakers
While men have no problem embracing high-tops, women are more reserved about the style. This season, however, these classics are back with a vengeance and a favorite among female celebrities. They've proven that high-tops look good, and now it's your turn to try on the style.
Minimalist sneakers
The natural nature of fashion usually means that everything that happens at a given moment is a reaction to what preceded it. For years, minimalism has prevailed, so things would start moving in the opposite direction at some point. Rather than fading into obscurity, however, minimalist shoes have earned a place in sneaker history books. Simple white sneakers are now a classic and their enduring popularity proves they won't disappear anytime soon.
Platform sneakers
It's time to get taller this season! Platform sneakers – sneakers with a thick platform sole – are everywhere this new season. For all short people this is a dream come true! Others may not like it, but this fall's platforms have been given a very stylish look. Plus, platforms are much easier to walk on than sky-high heels, so you don't have to worry about falling while in town.
