Just as the world becomes more colorful with the warm weather, so should your footwear. “This summer, we’re going to see neutrals take a backseat,” says Anthropologie’s head of styling, Kyla Flax. “Bold and vibrant sneakers are stepping up as the new go-to, statement piece of the season. You can easily pair them with a breezy sundress or some wide-leg jeans to energize your outfits.”
While any color is suitable, NYC-based fashion stylist Audree Kate López says that primary colors will be especially popular as we lead into summer. “So long are the days of the white sneaker—2025 is all about drenching your look with head-to-toe color,” she says. “We’ve seen pops of color the past few years with colorful details, laces, or design, but red, blue, and yellow sneakers are the hot item this year.”
Speaking of laces, Flax encourages us experimenting with accessorized sneakers. “From charms to new laces, accessorizing your sneakers is a trend we’re going to continue to see alongside bright and funky colorways,” she reveals. “Sneakers are getting the accessory treatment with charms, metallic accents, new laces, and unexpected hardware, [all of which are] great to switch up your current favorite pair.”
