Guys Aren't the Only Sneakerheads These Days

Marilyn Monroe allegedly once said, “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” She was so right. With new sneaker trends emerging on the daily, it is even easier to find a pair that suits your vibe. When you have your perfect pair of shoes on, you can go through the day without worrying about your feet throbbing at the end of the night. Check out these trends to find the pair of sneaks that is right for you!

For the artsy girl…

Tired of drawing on your canvas sneaks? No worries! Vans recently paired with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to create sneakers incorporating the artist’s work. Now, you can walk around with Van Gogh on a pair of Vans Classics and Vans Slip-Ons.

For the short girl… Sneaker wedges are so yesterday. Platforms are so now. These Steve Madden lace-ups have everything you need from a crisp white color to an espadrille accent to a studded lining – and, of course, that extra height boost.

For the sporty girl...

Athleisure doesn’t have to end with the change in season. These high-tops have the perfect combination of that fresh Nike feel and the beginnings-of-fall color aesthetic. The coral/camel color will be perfect for transitioning your look into something more cozy while still staying true to your style.

For the trendy girl…

If you’ve been keeping up with fashion magazines, you know that snakeskin is in this season. You can find it anywhere from belts to purses to leather pants. People continuously find new ways to incorporate this pattern into their looks, so why not try it on sneakers? These will have you slithering everywhere from class to the library and then (obviously) to the mall.

For the girl obsessed with Cardi B…

Yes, these are “...those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks.” Maybe you’ve heard of them. Ever since Cardi B released her single, “I Like It,” this sneak has been all over our news feeds. Though the ‘real deal’ ones are Balenciagas, they’re also $750. But fret not! There are tons of other retailers making their own affordable versions of the shoe, like Adidas.

For the edgy girl…

These are the perfect everyday sneaker for someone trying to step up their fashion game. The slip-on comes in a variety of colors so you can pick one that’s right for your wardrobe aesthetic. Whether it’s the classic black or the funky rainbow, there’s something for everyone! (P.S. The red ones are perfect for tailgate season.)

For the girl who will try anything…

Now, hear me out...I know these are kind of out there, but once you slip them on they’ll turn every outfit into high fashion. You’ve probably seen models sporting shoes like these with everything from sundresses to jumpsuits to leggings and a sports bra. These “dad sneakers,” as Italian Vogue calls them, have had worse nicknames (think: 2018’s “ugly sneakers” as others have called them), but that doesn’t stop models like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin from sporting them with practically anything.

For the girl that’s not really into sneakers…

Rihanna’s line of Puma sneakers is truly something to obsess over (and I highly suggest you do). But just in case you don’t have time to tie your laces, you can slip on the Chelsea Sneaker Boot. The boot can work with any look, ranging from a sweater and jeans to a sweatshirt and shorts. Plus, since they come in black, white and blue, it will be easy to find the pair that works for your closet.

With so many different styles and trends, you can tell diamonds to move over, because sneakers are a girl’s best friend now. So next time you hear a guy talking about the latest addition to his collection, you can show him your shoe rack and see how they compare.
