If white sneakers reigned supreme last summer, then let’s just say this season’s shoe of choice has stopped playing sidekick. Enter the coloured sneakers. They’re unapologetically bold, bright, and impossible to ignore, spotted everywhere from runways to the streets. An adventurous footwear option that can be styled up or down according to the occasion. Whether it’s in the shade of fiery red or sizzling yellow, coloured sneakers have proven to take the cake on versatility—offering just the right amount of cool without compromising on comfort.
If you need any further proof that coloured sneakers are trending, then look no further than the spring/summer 2025/26 runways. From Miu Miu to Loewe and Dries Van Noten, the colourful shoe made frequent appearances in several shows. Miu Miu, for one, went a more cheerful route with their multi-coloured sneakers, while Loewe opted for an electric blue number.
Off the runways, our favourite fashion It girls have also co-signed this trend in a big way. Spotted in New York City, Emily Ratajkowski was seen strutting the streets of the Big Apple in a dreamy white crochet dress paired with her signature red hot Puma Speed Cats. Meanwhile, Bella Hadid was seen donning a now viral red and orange Adidas SL 72.
Therein lies the leading question on how to style them. The rulebook? There isn’t one—and that’s the fun part. To begin with, substitute it wherever you would typically wear neutral kicks. A vibrant shoe can instantly inject personality into your otherwise basic outfit. Pair a polished blazer with emerald green sneakers for some unexpected cool, or let cotton candy pinks peek out beneath a flowing maxi skirt. It’s effortless, yet intentional.
Below, find Vogue Singapore’s guide to styling coloured sneakers—because playing it safe is no longer an option.
