These Sneakers Are Starting to Feel Dated—Here Are 4 to Wear Instead

I chat about this pretty frequently these days, but sneakers have become a core staple in my wardrobe over the last year. While I still wear heels and sandals on occasion, sneakers are a shoe style that has been indispensable in my wardrobe for everything from walks around the neighborhood to having something to wear with jeans, so I've been paying attention to the cool sneaker trends even more than usual these days.

One thing that has become clear is that some outdated sneakers are no longer popular among the fashion set. The super-chunky sneakers that were huge in past years have been replaced, and I'm personally here for it since they never grabbed me when they first entered the fashion scene. Instead, we're seeing a new set of trends that are dominating that range from timeless white sneakers to bold, colorful styles.
