Though we’re slowly moving towards autumn, there’s one major trend that fashion’s most attentive are bringing with them into the cooler months and beyond. We've witnessed the style set fall head over heels for jackets, knits, coats and dresses in rich chocolate brown shades this season, but the latest item—and possibly my favourite—to receive the brown colour trend 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, brown trainers merge a refined colour palette with the most comfortable shoe style out there. Softer than black yet just as striking, the deep hue has become a pillar of my outfits of late. Styling so easily with the cotton dresses I sported throughout the summer, I’m certain this rich colour trend will look even chicer with my autumn capsule wardrobe—think tailored trousers, knitted dresses and suede jackets.
I'm not the only one considering incorporating this trending tone into my footwear collection. Adidas has upped its offerings of the classy neutral in recent months, and these pairs are going down a treat with shoppers and celebs alike—take Bella Hadid, who was spotted in her brown Adidas SL 72 trainers with a matching leather jacket and dark-wash jeans for an easy errands-running look.
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, with brands including Reformation and Asics on the more affordable end of the spectrum.
