We’ve reached that midpoint in the season where my focus shifts entirely to what’s next. The awkward summer-to-autumn days are behind us, and as we begin to ponder winter styling, I’m tracking the trends that are poised to take over.
The first one on my radar? A trainer trend I’ve had my eye on for months. Following the roaring success of leopard-print trainers last season, this winter’s chicest dressers are set to swap their spots for cow print pairs this year.
We’ve already seen this playful pattern popping up on bags, jackets and loafers—so it was only a matter of time before it trotted its way onto trainers. I've found that while cow print might sound like a bold choice, it’s surprisingly wearable. Rendered in an easy palette of black, brown, white and cream, these trainers style easily with the neutral hues that make up many of our winter wardrobes.
Several of my most colleagues have already snapped up their pairs—a sure sign that this trend is about to hit the mainstream. So far, they’ve been styling them with jeans, but I’ve also spotted them paired with billowy skirts or used to weave a playful element into smarter tailoring.
Steadily creeping into designer and high street collections, as well as across go-to brands like Adidas and Puma, this trend is clearly primed for a successful season ahead.
To shop the trainer trend fashion people will be wearing in lieu of black or white pairs, read on to discover my edit of the best cow print trainers below.
