How to Style Spring’s Hottest Sneaker Trends

For chic girls on the go, a stylish pair of sneakers is a must. Luckily, the spring collections offer plenty of inspiration, with almost every major designer putting their own spin on the sporty staple.

At Celine, designer Michael Rider has delivered one of the season’s standout styles: a slim, flat plimsoll in clean white (also available in black and yellow). At Prada and Miu Miu, delicate satin sneakers lent a feminine touch, while Dries Van Noten continues to iterate on fan favorite styles—introducing them this season in sequin, embroidered, and Crayola brights.

Of course, no sneaker roundup would be complete without the classics. Nike, Adidas, Vans, and New Balance are all riffing on the trends, too. Nike’s recent collaboration with Jacquemus—a sleek jogger in cashmere—is sure to sell out quickly, while Adidas recently debuted the Samba Jane; its very own take on the Mary Jane sneaker.

With so many options, the styling possibilities are equally plentiful. Spring’s sneakers look great with mini dresses, bubble-hem skirts, relaxed trousers and even a slick pair of stirrup leggings. Below, we break down the season’s best pairs, and how to wear them.

Slim Runners

Our favorite retro pairs are slimming down this season, with brands like Saint Laurent, Chloé and Proenza Schouler offering low-profile takes on the classic style. Nike x Jacquemus’s latest Moon shoe—a sleek runner in the French label’s seasonal palette of brown, cream, and baby pink—is sure to be a hit. (The first already counts Jacob Elordi and Dua Lipa as fans.) Style them with an equally simple mini dress and sporty outerwear.
