5 Dated Trainer Trends and the Ones We’re Loving Instead

Personally, I don’t like talking about dated fashion trends. Because what’s considered stylish and fashionable is wildly subjective.

For instance, the funnel-neck jackets I love might feel a touch criminal to you, but I couldn’t imagine a chicer jacket for winter 2025. It’s for this reason that I wholeheartedly support the idea of a personal capsule wardrobe. When curated well, it will fit your personality, and more importantly, personal style, which means the only person who can truly decipher what’s “in” and “out” is you.

The same goes for dated trainer trends in winter 2025—whilst the Adidas Samba, for example, continues to reign supreme as a popular sneaker choice, with so many fresher silhouettes being released in 2025, I’m personally yearning for an alternative.

At times it feels like popular trainer styles come in waves, it was only a few years ago that chunky trainers adorned with monograms were the go-to, think the chunky Gucci Ryhton or the ever-popular Balenciaga Triple S. Although there’s a maximalist timelessness to these trainers (and we wouldn’t ever advise you don’t wear them), the sleeker and more pared-back styles seen at Miu Miu and Dries van Noten are becoming cult favourites amongst fashion people, paving the way for a more low-key styles to gain popularity which are logoless and have a slimmer, elongated frame.
