1. Suede Sneakers
Nordstrom
Reformation Terra Sneaker
Suede sneakers are a major player in 2025’s fall fashion lineup. They’re slightly-retro and definitely luxe-feeling, so you can easily dress them up or down. We adore this slimmed-down silhouette from Reformation because of its understated luxury.
Gola
Gola Classics Hawk Suede '86 Sneaker
Forest green suede is especially on-trend this fall, plus it just makes a fun departure from your typical blacks and browns. This pair from Gola leans more casual, making them the ultimate everyday shoe. No matter what color sneaks you decide to rock, don’t forget to treat them with a water-repellent spray—suede may be chic, but it needs a little extra care to last.
2. Boxing Sneakers
Free People
Bronx Knockout Boxing Sneakers
Most fashion-forward sneakers that have gained popularity over the past few years have been visibly influenced by sports. While last year's hottest styles took notes from the soccer field, the coolest sneaker trend for 2025 comes directly from the boxing ring.
Puma
Puma Speedcat Mid Sneaker
With a foot-hugging fit and supportive high tops, they look super cool with cropped pants or flowy midi skirts for style contrast. Puma's suede design even comes in multiple colors to help you channel your best fall outfits yet.
3. Ballet Sneakers
Vivaia
Vivaia Lace-Up Miley Mary Janes
Ballet sneakers are the perfect way to bring a bit of grace into your fall wardrobe. Though they can vary a bit in shape (these are more influenced by the classic Mary Jane), details like rounded toes and laces can really capture a dance-inspired aesthetic.
DSW
Adidas Grand Court Lo Sneaker
Bolder ballet sneakers like this silver pair can really help your look stand out, even if you're wearing something super casual. Any pair will wear wonderfully with midi skirts, wide-leg trousers, and your favorite jeans.
4. Hybrid Hiking Sneakers
Merrell
Merrell Wrapt Mid Waterproof
Outdoor-inspired fashion continues to dominate in 2025, so we're not surprised to see hiking-style sneakers hit the pavement (and not the trail). The gorpcore trend only continues to grow with technical hiking boots like these. The rugged soles, durable uppers, and earthy color palette are a dead giveaway to their outdoor roots, though many are wearing them for everyday outings more and more.
Keen
Keen Jasper Sneaker
These Keen sneaks have roots in not only hiking, but climbing, too. The thick laces are a fun addition for helping your style stand out this fall!
