The Suede Trainer Trend Is Dominating Fashion People's Wardrobes This Autumn |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

last updated 8 November 2024

As a fashion fan and a footwear fanatic, I love nothing more than a new shoe trend, and this season, I've spotted a particularly tempting one enter the conversation. Reluctant to squeeze my feet into any more heels and still not quite ready to fully commit to boots, I've instead tracked down the chic trainer trend that stylish people are wearing right now. An elevated update to our everyday trainers the suede trainer trend is gaining serious momentum this winter (and, if you ask me, is set to stick around well into 2025).

Supple suede adds a polished finish to any piece it touches, but suede trainers are a bit of a contradiction, marrying the impractical (albeit very chic) fabric with a shoe designed for comfort and performance. If not properly protected with a sealant or spray, suede can be prone to staining when it comes into contact with water, so this is probably one reason why suede trainers are peaking in popularity right now—whilst the weather is still pretty dry.

Of course, it's not just trainers that have been given the suede treatment this season. Suede jackets and coats are already all over our favourite brands, we're coveting suede bags; and suede loafers are now a thing, too. Although Miu Miu's pair (from its collab with New Balance) might have kickstarted interest in the style, the influx of suede trainers on the market has to be a result of the fabric's sudden favour.

Inspired to shop the suede trainer trend myself, read on to discover the pairs I love right now, sorted by colour.
