Sneakers are a staple in everyone’s wardrobes right now.

If you're in the market for some box-fresh kicks, you'll love our guide to this season's must-have sneaker styles that you’ll be wearing on rotation.

To help you find your best fit, we’ve rounded up some new season styles and old favourites, plus some exclusive offers that will make you excited to slip your feet into a new pair. What better excuse is there to go shopping and treat yourself to your new go-to sneakers?

Where functional meets style

For those days when you have an endless to-do list, these sneakers are for you. Opt for performance-oriented sneakers designed for comfort. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different sneaker colours and styles to express your personality. If you’re wanting the sneakers to be the hero of the ensemble, go for bright sneakers that will complement your look. Either style with a monochromatic outfit or stick to similar colour tones.

Try Rebel, Adidas or JD Sports.

The white sneaker solution

The minimalist white sneaker continues to solidify its position as a timeless and effortless essential for a capsule wardrobe and can be worn with any outfit for work or play. Style pristine white high tops with a cute and comfortable bright coloured dress for your perfect lunch outfit, or dress down classic tailored pieces and add some personality with cute low-cut socks and a coloured bag.

Try Famous Footwear, Cotton On or Myer.

From courtside to coffee shop

If you are looking for a subtle way to elevate your look, opt for branded logo sneakers that will take any outfit to another level. Chunky styled sneakers with a recognisable logo have become a wardrobe staple for Gen Z and millennials. With a wide range of colourways, you’ll be able to find the perfect pair to match with any outfit. Whether you opt for classic black and white to work with any outfit, or branded sneakers with a pop of colour, this style will complete the outfit for the perfect Insta-worthy moment.

Try Foot Locker, The Athlete's Foot or Hype DC.

Kick it from the AM to PM

If you’ve got a full day ahead and no time for a wardrobe switch, step out with an outfit and sneaker combination that will seamlessly transition your day looks to night. An easy-breezy wrap skirt or midi dress can be paired effortlessly with sneakers. Top if off with a stylish crossbody bag and don’t forget to add a light layer for those cooler evenings with a lightweight cardigan or stylish jacket. This versatile look ensures you’re prepared for whatever the day or night brings.

Try David Jones, Myer or Levitate Sneakers.

Corporate Chic

While a pair of heels would be a more obvious choice, a pair of casual yet chic sneakers will carry you stylishly from your commute to meetings and to post-work drinks. Balance the casual vibe of your sneakers with refined pieces from your corporate wardrobe to create a look that effortlessly blends comfort and style. Pull this look off with branded sneakers that are neutral toned and accessorise with minimal jewellery and a sleek handbag.

Try David Jones, Hype DC or Spendless Shoes.
