Spotted in Montecito: The Sneaker Color Trend That'll Take Off This Summer
Spring style is in full swing on the West Coast. In Montecito, Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo stepped out in a surprising sneaker trend that feels so fresh for 2026. Forget blue suede shoes: this spring, we're doubling down on striking cobalt sneakers. From fashion favorites like Vans and Golas to classic athletic labels like Nike and Adidas, rich, brilliant blue sneakers are undeniably cool (and easier to style than you might think).
Take a cue from Prinsloo's effortlessly chic model-off-duty style and pair this bright color trend with slouchy trousers and your favorite fitted white T-shirt. It's the perfect weekend outfit, whether you're browsing boutiques or heading to the local farmer's market to stock up on some equally colorful produce.
