It's been a big year for trainer trends. Officially interrupting the white trainer's reign, colourful kicks, suede pairs and leopard print have all enjoyed unprecedented popularity over the past 12 months.
Instilling our wardrobes with an extra layer of interest, 2024's trainer trends have been decidedly more fun than the ones that came before them. The summer months were all about yellow and red styles, then autumn saw rich chocolate-brown shades rule. And now that winter is officially here? Yep? Burgundy.
It's no surprise that burgundy trainers are dominating style circles right now, as the past few months have seen a huge uptick in interest in the shade overall. Competing with the blacks, greys and beiges that have dictated winter wardrobes for so long, rich burgundy hues have dominated clothing and accessories in a big way this season. Now, we're seeing this manifest in trainer form.
Aside from the obvious appeal of the elegant tone, unlike white trainers or light cream pairs, burgundy styles will stay looking fresher for longer. Less likely to blemish after only a few wears, dark colours are much more forgiving, so they'll stay looking chic and polished after months of wear. The colour also tends to look expensive, regardless of how much you've spent, so it's a solid bet if you want to elevate your casual footwear.
Certain to continue its reign well beyond winter and into spring 2025, read on to discover our edit of the best burgundy trainers to shop now, from both the high street and designer brands.
