While they are known for being the OG "dad" sneakers, New Balance sneakers are also a key buy in the closets of the most in-the-know fashion people. If you need further proof, just look to the tagline of my favorite New Balance campaign, which reads: "Worn by supermodels in London and dads in Ohio." Equally popular with Jerry Seinfeld and Bella Hadid, the comfortable-meets-cool sneakers have gained a huge cult following over the last several years, making popular styles including the 550s, 993s, 574, and special collaborations with Aimé Leon Dore and Miu Miu nearly impossible to buy.
If you're able to get your hands on a pair, though, fashion people have plenty of New Balance outfits to look to for styling inspiration this fall. From casual outfits with jeans to looks for the tennis court to exactly what to wear on the airplane, there is no shortage of cool ideas. Ahead, see the cool New Balance sneaker looks that feel very 2024 and fit the fall season.
First up, how I'm personally styling the trend. I've been collecting New Balance sneakers recently and will be the first the recommend them for both their design and comfort level. Adding them to a button-down, jeans, and a tailored jacket is my fall uniform.
Shop the look:
It doesn't get more classic than a trench coat and jeans. Just add New Balance 550 sneakers and white tube socks for a look that is equal parts comfortable and trend-forward.
Shop the look:
Stripes on stripes feel like an outfit combination that shouldn't work, but this look proves it does. The trick? Choosing pieces with stripes that run in different directions. Adding a pair of gray New Balance sneakers grounds the look, making it feel a bit less nautical.
Shop the look:
The last few years have welcomed the office siren trend, and there is no shortage of cool ways to get dressed for the office. Start out with a pair of green New Balance sneakers and tube socks, then simply add tailored separates like a blazer and wide-leg pants.
Shop the look:
The 2024 version of an airport uniform has arrived, pairing relaxed jeans with an oversize blazer and sneakers. It's the dressed-up cousin to the sweatpant looks that were everywhere a few years ago but equally comfortable.
Shop the look:
L.A. fashion insiders have mastered off-duty style. Case in point? This legging set look paired with silver New Balance sneakers. The attention to detail—with the addition of a baseball hat, exposed tube socks, and a sweater draped at the shoulders—elevates this workout outfit.
Shop the look:
Distressed leather jackets are one of the key buys this season, and the styling possibilities are endless. While we've been seeing them paired with micro miniskirts as spotted on the Prada runways, for fall, add a pair of cargo pants and gorpcore sneakers.
Shop the look:
When in doubt, just add a pair of white socks as styled here with the New Balance x Miu Miu sneakers that debuted in the S/S 22 collections.
Shop the look:
When putting together a cute and cozy fall weekend look, consider adding a pair of New Balance sneakers. Their comfortable fit and stylish design make them perfect for a day spent hiking through colorful foliage or picking apples at a local orchard.
Shop the look:
You may have noticed that the new Miu Miu x New Balance 530 sneakers have been everywhere lately—on the feet of fashion editors and content creators—and for good reason. They have a sleek vintage-like silhouette and trend-forward cord laces, adding to their stylish appeal.
Shop the look:
Every Parisian and Scandi fashion girl knows styling New Balance sneakers with wide-leg trousers creates an effortlessly chic look. So take note and re-create their outfit formula for the cold-weather days ahead.
Shop the look:
Whether heading to Pilates or grabbing your morning cup of joe, slip on a pair of New Balance sneakers with leggings, tube socks, a sweatshirt, and a white tee. This look will keep you comfortable and looking polished.
