personal stylist, fashion columnist

“Sneakers have successfully moved from gyms to city streets, restaurants, offices and even theaters. A girl in a dress and sneakers – vogue? Absolutely not. It’s beautiful and comfortable. In 2024, the line between fashionable and comfortable has become even thinner. Now we choose sneakers not for running in the morning, but for social events. Shoes, which for many years were intended exclusively for sports, today are no stranger to anything trendy. What are the current sneakers?”

Bright colors

It’s time to come out of the gloom! Many people are bored with a palette of dark colors for the winter and want more light. There is a solution – color therapy.

I recommend paying attention to yellow, red, green, blue and orange models. Any bright shades will do you good. These can be both monochrome variants, and with colorblocking (for example, red-green). Such shoes go well with simple everyday things, becoming an interesting accent of the image.

Precautions

Forget about neon colors. They increase the level of brightness to the maximum, which is irrelevant today. Set aside acidic and fluorescent shades.

Retro

Let’s get acquainted with the grandpa core style. Translated into Russian, it means “grandpa outfit.” Retro sneakers are meant here. Such models look great in casual style. Jackets have long ceased to be purely business clothes and moved into the images with jeans. If you add retro sneakers to them, you get an interesting game of styles.

Precautions

Don’t go looking for shoes on the mezzanine. If grandpa core are retro sneakers, then dad’s are the ones that look worn out. Even Balenciaga failed to make this model popular.

Decor

All girls have already managed to appreciate the trend for bags with decor. Following it, similar sneakers came to us. And if bags – this is purely a female theme, then similar shoes can be considered and men. Dare to experiment.

There is no need to be shy. You can almost everything: ruffles, bows, torn, raw seams. It is only important not to overdo it with accents in the image. If you choose such shoes, the clothes should be calm.

And there is nothing shameful in turning for a while into a fan of the circle “Ochumelnye ruki”. Change the laces to ribbons, build interesting bows. Create decor yourself: from pins, lace and the like. Give free rein to your imagination, and then you will have an absolute exclusive.

Precautions

Forget about sneakers with Velcro. Such models of shoes are better left to schoolchildren. Today, the stylish world of this world gives preference to lacing.

Massive platform

This recommendation, of course, is more for girls. Many men are afraid of the platform. Such a style seems to them devoid of brutality.

Massive shoes look very stylish with jeans, and with a romantic dress. Feminine image it makes even more delicate. All thanks to the game of contrasts.

And also it is impossible not to note the practicality of such a pair. In the conditions of the Russian spring, the platform is the ideal solution.

Precautions

Let’s leave the wedge heel in the past. It is still loved by many girls. Yes, it makes sports shoes more feminine, legs longer, and the foot – more petite, but it’s long past time to say goodbye. This year, sneakers on wedges are the absolute anti-trend.

Former kitsch

In 2024, jokes about leopard tights are no longer relevant. Spotted color, having been on all possible items of clothing, smoothly flowed and on shoes. Sneakers of this coloring are worn by everyone: children and adults, men and women. Be bold. Do not hesitate to wear animal print. He looks bold, but without unnecessary epatage.

Precautions

The blonde jokes are making a comeback. The barbie core fashion is going away, and bright pink doll sneakers are definitely not for you.

Metallic

White metallic shades are in this year. If your girlfriend doesn’t wear rings, give her silver sneakers. The metallic color will add a touch of alien chic to the look and make her stand out from the crowd. Combine at your discretion. Most importantly, don’t wear your best at once, like you did in the early 2000s. Keep your cool!

Precautions

White metal is good. “Stones are bad. What we take from jewelry is the color of the metal and nothing else.
