I Think These 7 Sneaker Brands Will Always Be Classics
Spring is in the air, and our warm-weather classics are making their way to the priority spots in our wardrobes again. Hooray! That feeling of putting our favourite spring pieces back on is like nothing else, especially if you have a fresh pair of classic kicks by your side to complete the look. And I'm not talking about dad sneakers or ugly trainers; I'm talking about the reliable fan favourites that continue to work with any look, year after year.
I myself have been loyal to Supergas and Vejas for some years, and each season, I either get them cleaned or reinvest in a new pair. It's always good to have a go-to sneaker in your wardrobe, but especially in the spring. They consistently go with any outfit I throw together—whether it's a new dress trend or jeans and a tee. In doing the research for this piece, I might just be persuaded to try a new style, they're all just too good. Keep scrolling to see and shop the most classic sneakers you can buy this season and every season.

A skate classic and '90s favourite (Julia Roberts wears a pair in Notting Hill), fashion girls have recently been loving these suede trainers in burnt orange and red hues.
