It took until last year for me to wear trainers outside the gym. Now, you can count on a chic autumn trainer outfit being in high rotation this season.
You see, sneakers, despite the many covetable trainer trends, have never felt very ‘me’. I was always more confident in boots, loafers and sandals. But 2023's Adidas Samba craze finally converted me, and ever since, I've found myself wearing sneakers almost daily. I don't expect this to change with autumn's arrival, a season that calls for comfort and ease as we adjust to falling temperatures.
I'll be starting by recreating a handful of outfits I've seen and saved on social media, each of which meets my core criteria: versatile layers to combat the chill, chic elements that elevate the casual footwear and clean, simple silhouettes that are as wearable as they are stylish. And of course, each look is anchored by a sleek sneaker.
Keep scrolling for six easy autumn trainer outfits—featuring cult styles, back-in-stock bestsellers and trainers that will always be in fashion—you'll live in this season and beyond.
The 6 Chic Autumn Trainer Outfits to Replicate
1. Suede Trainers + Suede Jacket + Baggy Jeans
Style Notes: Suede jackets, skirts, bags and yes of course, trainers are once again huge news for autumn. And how best to wear them? Together. Go for a double texture hit by teaming your favourite jacket with your new kicks from Alohas, Cos, Adidas or Miu Miu, if you were lucky enough to get a pair.

2. White Trainers + Trench Coat + Big Bag
Style Notes: Nothing screams transeasonal dressing more than a timeless longline trench coat. Make like Marilyn and keep the look super clean by wearing it belted with fuss-free accessories, minimalist jewels and classic white trainers. Because we all know white kicks never fail.

4. Retro Trainers + Striped Shirt + Shorts
Style Notes: The summer-to-autumn transition is all about rediscovering ways to not pack away all your warm-weather favourites, while embracing new season buys. Set the tone for the season with your most-loved striped shirt (you can add hidden vest layers underneath) and stick to bare legs by embracing contrast trainers with cosy socks.
Shop the Look:
If you still don't own a With Nothing Underneath shirt, it's about time.

The Puma Speedcat is still going strong.
5. Black Trainers + Leather Jacket + Ecru Jeans
Style Notes: If I could only wear one autumn colour combination for the rest of my life, I would choose ecru and burgundy. Forever chic, I love how American fashion creator Aimee Song has kept the pairing at the centre of attention by teaming her effortless outfit with black trainers.
Shop the Look:

6. Contrast Trainers + Striped Trousers + Leather Jacket
Style Notes: Autumn is the season for introducing sumptuous textures back into our wardrobes. Pairing a leather jacket with soft linen trousers is an unexpected combination that really only works for this time of the year. I love how the casualness of the trainers also makes this an excpetionally cohesive outfit, despite the clash in tones.
