Now that it's nearly September, it's really time to start thinking about fall trends if you care to and if you haven't yet. I'm someone who usually chooses my shoes first when planning out an outfit, and lately, the shoes have been sneakers. What can I say, I'm on a kick (no pun intended). If you can say the same for yourself, you'll be glad to know that many of the upcoming trends look amazing with sneakers, and the F/W 22 runways proved it.
There was a lot of staying around sneakers for the fall season, especially on the runways of Paris, and not necessarily in predictably casual ways. Trendy sneaker styling will be more unique than ever if the fall runways are any indication (which they always are). Keep reading to find out which six trends are the most sneaker-friendly, and shop the It sneakers to pair with them, from Adidas Sambas to New Balance 550s.
