These are the go-to trainer styles being worn by the fashion set this spring.
They might not be the only shoe synonymous with spring – we have ballet flats (mesh and jelly), tennis shoes and, for more casual affairs, Crocs – but trainers are one of the few that neither pinch nor rub (and they don’t need to be broken in). Have you found your perfect pair for spring? If not, read on for some seasonal inspiration.
Street Style Trainer Trends At Fashion Month
It’s no surprise that the Fashion Month style set hold a particular sway over our wardrobe choices. Whatever they wear on their way to the shows often sprinkles the seeds of what will become the next big trend – and this spring, their trainers of choice are colourful, textured and (unsurprisingly) cow print. Expect your usual suspects – Adidas, Nike and Puma – as well as the occasional designer pick.
The Colourful Trainer
Out with the winter neutrals – spring calls for a colour pop. And this season’s statement trainers comes in shades of rose, cherry and butter yellow. Team them up with capsule wardrobe basics – slouchy jeans, a tee and structured jacket – and, for an extra splash, an accessory in a matching hue.

The Textured Trainer
When colour doesn’t appeal, the style set doubles down on playful texture. Think spikes, ridges and chunky straps. Wear in muted tones (the textures speak for themselves), with a ‘dressed down’ outfit – or amp up the sensory playground with a studded jacket, loose knitted jumper or patterned fabrics.

The Retro Trainer
Throwback sneakers never go out of style (their timeless appeal sees to that). A white trainer with a splash of primary colour detailing is the ultimate go-to spring fashion trainer; after all, it goes with everything.

The High Top Trainer
The 2010s called: they’re ready for a revival. And if it’s not skirts layered over jeans, peplum silhouettes and chokers on the spring agenda, then it’s a classic high top trainer. Dip even further into nostalgiacore by teaming them up with some baggy jeans and a low-slung belt.

The Animal Print Trainer
Maximalist print reigns supreme in 2025 – but where leopard took centre stage in winter, cow is spring’s showstopper. Dip into the colour palette of your cow print pick – brown, cream, black – to let the pattern pop, or experiment with clashing colours. (And for more bovine style ideas, see our guide here.)
