It took until last year for me to wear trainers outside the gym. Now, you can count on a chic autumn trainer outfit being in high rotation this season.
You see, sneakers, despite the many covetable trainer trends, have never felt very ‘me’. I was always more confident in boots, loafers and sandals. But 2023's Adidas Samba craze finally converted me, and ever since, I've found myself wearing sneakers almost daily. I don't expect this to change with autumn's arrival, a season that calls for comfort and ease as we adjust to falling temperatures.
I'll be starting by recreating a handful of outfits I've seen and saved on social media, each of which meets my core criteria: versatile layers to combat the chill, chic elements that elevate the casual footwear and clean, simple silhouettes that are as wearable as they are stylish. And of course, each look is anchored by a sleek sneaker.
Keep scrolling for six easy autumn trainer outfits—featuring cult styles, back-in-stock bestsellers and trainers that will always be in fashion—you'll live in this season and beyond.
The 6 Chic Autumn Trainer Outfits to Replicate
1. Suede Trainers + Suede Jacket + Baggy Jeans
Style Notes: Suede jackets, skirts, bags and yes of course, trainers are once again huge news for autumn. And how best to wear them? Together. Go for a double texture hit by teaming your favourite jacket with your new kicks from Alohas, Cos, Adidas or Miu Miu, if you were lucky enough to get a pair.
Shop the Look:
Zara's suede edit for 2025 is already going viral.
I will stand by the fact that this Clean Cut COS top has the best white t-shirts on the high street.
Agolde jeans will always work, no matter the season.
These new trainers from Reformation are bound to sell out.
2. White Trainers + Trench Coat + Big Bag
Style Notes: Nothing screams transeasonal dressing more than a timeless longline trench coat. Make like Marilyn and keep the look super clean by wearing it belted with fuss-free accessories, minimalist jewels and classic white trainers. Because we all know white kicks never fail.
Shop the Look:
The Frankie Shop never fails when it comes to stylish coats and blazers—and anything else, for that matter!
Future heirloom sunnies.
Who needs The Row's Margaux when you have the Marlo?
Saint Laurent plimsolls will never not be chic.
3. Chunky Trainers + Sporty Sweater + Blue Jeans
Style Notes: While I'm sad summer's almost over, I am excited to bust out my coat collection—starting with my tailored iterations. Teamed with blue jeans, sporty separates and chunky trainers, this is the perfect running errands weekend outfit that's equal parts casual yet put together.
Shop the Look:
I feel like Kendall Jenner (kind of) every time I wear Alo.
Autumn is hot on summer's heels, and with it, bringing some of the best coats of the season.
Barrel-leg jeans are sticking around for the long haul.
Ready to run errands in and look good doing it.
4. Retro Trainers + Striped Shirt + Shorts
Style Notes: The summer-to-autumn transition is all about rediscovering ways to not pack away all your warm-weather favourites, while embracing new season buys. Set the tone for the season with your most-loved striped shirt (you can add hidden vest layers underneath) and stick to bare legs by embracing contrast trainers with cosy socks.
Shop the Look:
If you still don't own a With Nothing Underneath shirt, it's about time.
The suede is so luxe.
For added extra comfort—and aesthetic reasons.
The Puma Speedcat is still going strong.
5. Black Trainers + Leather Jacket + Ecru Jeans
Style Notes: If I could only wear one autumn colour combination for the rest of my life, I would choose ecru and burgundy. Forever chic, I love how American fashion creator Aimee Song has kept the pairing at the centre of attention by teaming her effortless outfit with black trainers.
Shop the Look:
Allsaints always has some of the best leather on the high street.
I love the look of ecru jeans.
A vibe.
These are bound to be the next cool girl kicks—as the name said, totally '90s.
6. Contrast Trainers + Striped Trousers + Leather Jacket
Style Notes: Autumn is the season for introducing sumptuous textures back into our wardrobes. Pairing a leather jacket with soft linen trousers is an unexpected combination that really only works for this time of the year. I love how the casualness of the trainers also makes this an excpetionally cohesive outfit, despite the clash in tones.
Shop the Look:
An autumn look straight out of the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy handbook.
A non-see-through black t-shirt with the perfect boxy fit? Trust Arket to deliver!
These are made with the most delicious cotton that you won't want to take off.
