One of my favourite overarching trends [1] of the past decade or so is the seamless integration of sneakers [2] into nearly every corner of a stylish girl's wardrobe. We're wearing them with denim [3], to be sure, but also slipping into the casual kicks when donning everything from midi skirts to cocktail dresses [4]. Whether you're seeking that head-turning accessory or prefer a more low-key way to dress down an otherwise party-ready look, sneakers are a great go-to. And, what's more, the youthful outfit twist is more comfortable than most other options out there. This fall, we are seeing the emergence of neon yellow and dusty rose alike, seeking bold colorblocking and classic white low-tops, and delving deep into the archives of some of the best retro styles around. For all that and more, check out the most popular sneaker trends for Fall 2019 and shop the best of the best ahead.
Neon Sneakers
If you're looking for the boldest trend of the bunch, stop right here. Neon is back and better than ever and — if you ask us — is the perfect pick-me-up and pop of something fun with a more subdued Fall colour scheme that might have taken over the rest of your look. Go athletic or fashion-focussed but, of course, don't be afraid to embrace the neon.

Classic White Sneakers
Invest in a classic with a pair of white low-top kicks that will seamlessly integrate into every part of your wardrobe for day or night. While they are the perfect pairing for your off-duty denim of choice, we love them equally as much with a midi skirt or minidress.

Colorblock Sneakers
Rainbow tie-dye of the Summer has given way to a colourful trend that tends much more toward the geometric than the abstract for Fall. Whether you're opting for neon or autumnal hues, low- or high-tops alike, colorblocking is taking winds as the must have colourful addition to all stylish girls' wardrobes this season.

High-Top Sneakers
There is something about a high-top that always seems to up the ante when it comes to sneakers. This Fall, the edgy-meets-sporty sneaker trend has reemerged, effortlessly integrated to more dressed-up looks for a whimsical high-low look that turns heads.

Everything is coming up roses this Fall as the ready-to-wear trend of the Summer takes hold of our sneaker collections. In contrast to the burgundy, camel, and army green tones of your apparel, look for dusty rose and pale pink hues when it comes to the sneaker styles you love the most.

When it comes to platforms, we are seeing cleaner lines than we have seen in the past. Consider it a classic skimmer elevated, more so than something with a chunky sole. It's the Spice Girls at their best, of course, and we couldn't be more excited to stand a few inches taller in our athletic-inspired kicks this Fall.
