Trust Me, The Brown Trainer Trend Is The Most Relevant Of The Season
Though we’re slowly moving towards spring, there’s one major trend that fashion’s most attentive are bringing with them into the warmer months and beyond. Cropping up all around us, the style set are favouring jackets, knits and trousers in rich chocolate-brown shades this season, but the latest item—and possibly my favourite—to receive the brown colour treatment is the trainer.
Suddenly, everyone is swapping their vibrant red and yellow pairs for this supremely sophisticated neutral. Adding an elevated edge to a decidedly casual footwear option, the brown trainer trend merges a refined colour palette with the most comfortable shoe out there. Softer than black, yet just as striking, the deep hue has become a pillar of my wardrobe as of late. Styling so easily with the heavy knits I was wearing all winter, I’m certain this rich colour trend will look even chicer with my spring capsule collection—think lightweight dresses and suede jackets.
I’m not the only one considering incorporating this trending tone into my footwear collection. Adidas has, in recent months, upped its offerings of the classy neutral—and they’re going down a treat on the shopping side of things. Recently spotted on model Bella Hadid, Hadid styled her brown Adidas SL 72 trainers with a matching leather jacket and dark wash jeans for a spring ready look that’s so 2024.

Whilst Hadid was tempted by Adidas’s trending pair, there are plenty of other worthy contenders on the market. Designer favourites such as Loewe and The Row have also produced compelling iterations, whilst high street staples Reformation and Asics have, too dabbled with the shade too.
