As a modern woman, you might have a thing for shoes. And it’s understandable: when it comes to getting dressed, shoes are the ultimate accessory. They’re a fun way to express your personal style and make any outfit your own.
But loving shoes isn’t the same as knowing which styles are in vogue and which are old hats. The truth is, fashion moves fast, and keeping up with the constantly changing styles and trends is a big job for even the most plugged-in woman.
No need to worry: that’s why we’ve put together this list of five trendy sneakers 2022 is shaping up to be known for. From the latest trends everyone's talking about to classic looks that never go out of style, here are the top trends to elevate your look.
#1 Low-Rise Lace-Ups
When it comes to the most exciting trendy sneakers 2022 has to offer, you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of low-rise lace-ups, like TOMS Fenix women’s sneakers. They’re a classic sneaker that stays fresh season after season and look after look.
For the gal on the go, a pair of low-rise sneakers are a must-have. Notable for their casual comfort, low-rise sneakers are easy to glam up when the occasion calls for it. Here are two ideas for wearing yours:
-
Casual – For a casual but glamorous look that pays homage to modern history’s greatest fashionistas, pair your Fenix sneakers with cuffed or cropped jeans and an oversized button-down shirt.
-
Semi-casual – While you probably won’t be wearing your casual sneakers to a super formal event, you can still dress them up. Short skirts or long dresses can elevate this sneaker style and add a bit of street-style edge to a nicer look.
#2 Mallow Alpargatas
If you’ve ever laid in the warm grass and stared up at the summer sky, you may have wondered what it would be like to feel the plush softness of pillowy white clouds on your feet. Well, you won’t have to wonder for much longer!
Presenting TOMS Mallow Alpargatas. As one of our newest styles, the Mallow Alpargata is already popping up on lists of trendy summer shoes for 2022—and it’s easy to see what all the fuss is about.
The Mallow Alpargata is by far one of the most comfortable shoes on this list. This chunky sneaker features puffy padded oversized soles and an OrthoLite® Eco LT Hybrid™ insole that takes dreamy to a whole new level. Once you slip into a pair of Mallows, you’ll never want to take them off.
And the Mallow Alpargatas’ quirky, versatile design means you can wear them with all your favorite summer ensembles, like:
- Slip skirt
- Long dresses
- Jeans or carpenter pants
- Shorts
#3 Slip-Ons
Slip-on shoes are a classic sneaker favourite—and that’s not changing in 2022. Whether you keep it traditional with a pair of sneakers or go for a pair of trendy summer slip-ons like the TOMS Alpargata Resident Grey Slip Ons, you’re guaranteed to slide into the fashion A group.
For women, there are a variety of styles of slip-on shoes to choose from, which makes selecting a slip-on sneaker that goes with your favourite looks just as easy as it is to slide into a pair. A simple pair of slip-on sneakers, like TOMS Fenix slip-on, can take you almost anywhere. Wear them with your favourite distressed jeans and a slouchy top for a look that’s sassy and street-smart.
#4 Floral Sneakers
When it comes to shoes, it isn’t always the style that’s trending. And that’s certainly the case in 2022, with sneakers of every style appearing with a very specific embellishment: floral prints.
And this year, florals aren’t just for spring. In fact, the right pair of floral print sneakers styled the right way is a look you can wear all year round. Here are a few tips for styling your floral print kicks:
-
Skirt and crop top combo – If you’re going for print on your feet, opt for solid colors up top to make sure your outfit doesn’t clash. Classic white, goth black, or earth tones like beige, brown, and green, are all avenues worth exploring.
-
Jeans and a t-shirt – Floral print sneakers with your favorite Levis and vintage concert tee? Absolutely. You can use flowery footwear to soften your grunge look and add whimsy to your wardrobe. Or, wear them with jeans and a classic white t-shirt to add color to a simple look.
#5 Bold Sneakers
If florals aren’t your thing, don’t worry. You can still make a statement without digging up the garden. This year, colours, prints, and patterns are all the rage when it comes to trendy shoes.
Sure, you’ll always need a pair of classic white shoes that go with everything. But for all those other occasions that call for a little more pop, stylish sneakers that traverse the entirety of the colour spectrum are just waiting to grace your feet. This is true no matter what sneaker style you prefer, from canvas to high-tops.
You have a few options when incorporating a bold look into your footwear collection:
-
Solid colors – Keep it simple with a pair of shoes in an eye-catching solid color. From bright neons to all-black sneakers, don’t be afraid to sample all the colors in the coloring box.
-
Prints and patterns – We mentioned florals just a little bit ago, but prints and patterns of all kinds are appearing on this year’s trendiest shoes. Go for all-over prints like polka dots, stripes, leopard print, or graphic images.
-
Color blocking – Look for shoes that use color blocking for a sleek, modern look that complements your chicest outfits.
