Forget Neutrals! An Odd-Hued Sneaker Is My Summer Shoe
This summer is all about embracing a muted palette. At least, that is what the season's trending ready-to-wear colors would suggest. The runways were filled with loads of butter yellows, chocolate browns, and icy blues; 'Soft' and 'easy' are two words that come to mind when trying to define summer 2025 dressing. But for shoes, may we propose introducing a more anti-summer style into your wardrobe rotation—via an extremely odd-hued sneaker.
If your closet is steering stealthy-chic, then your shoe game should go for more of a wow factor. Things can't all be so neutral. Where is the fun in that? And what better way to amp up an outfit than with a slim-green or acid-yellow sneaker.
Eye-popping sneakers are currently having a moment on the feet of some notable celebrities. Earlier this month, Harry Styles stepped out in London wearing a pair of yellow Prada nylon low-tops—which he paired with itty-bitty gym shorts, naturally. (How Paul Mescal of him.) His mustard shoes worn with red shorts was an unexpected but very cool look. A reminder that color-mixing should be fun, and not taken so seriously.
