The Sneaker Color Trend Everyone With Expensive Taste Is Buying

Having expensive taste is both a blessing and a curse, but it's a blessing when it comes to sneakers. A great pair of sneakers can elevate an entire outfit, and there's one sneaker color trend, in particular, that'll appeal to anyone with expensive taste. That trend is the ever-versatile tan sneakers, like Lily Collins was spotted wearing in London.
Collins opted for Adidas' buzzy Handball Spezial sneakers in the Earth Strata shade. The shoes also represented another current trend: suede sneakers. If you really want to elevate your outfit, opt for a pair of tan suede sneakers. They go with everything (including Collins's colorful plaid coat) and are appropriate for every season of the year.
With that, keep scrolling to shop Collins's exact sneakers along with a handful of other tan sneakers I love. (And did I mention that I've added no fewer than three pairs of tan sneakers to my own collection this year?)
