This Sneaker Color Trend Makes Black Pants Look So Much Prettier

Let’s face it: Black pants can be a bit boring. That said, Emily Ratajkowski and countless others swear by them. In fact, she recently wore a flared style that capitalized on a rising trend. The key to making black pants more exciting is to pair them with complementary trends—and that’s exactly what Ratajkowski did with one of her latest outfits, making her black pants look infinitely more stylish. Never a bad thing.
You probably clicked into this story because you’re interested in sneaker trends, so let’s dive in. The trend EmRata used to give her black-pant outfit a cool, pretty vibe was pale pink sneakers. Specifically, she chose a pair of Puma Speedcat sneakers in powder pink suede. Puma Speedcats are one of the latest retro sneakers to make a major comeback, and Ratajkowski wears them often, so it makes sense that she added this spring-friendly pink pair to her collection.
