RETRO SNEAKERS

On the fashion radar for a while now, retro-style sneakers show no signs of dropping off the cool list. And why would they? Super comfortable, thanks to the penchant for suede and soft leather fabrics, they’re also having a moment with the model set. Think Diadora to freshen up your weekend look. Go for interesting hues from ‘70s inspired browns and neutrals at Pollini to soft pastel shades at New Balance, all at your local McArthurGlen.

FUTURISTIC TRAINERS

From streetstyle to runway looks and Social, the Futuristic trend shows no signs of abating. Space-age silver, architectural aesthetics, control-panel neon and plenty of mesh and neoprene; sneakers are the most pragmatic way to channel that Back To The Future vibe without falling into full-on fancy dress mode. Team a pair of uber-chunky Adidas with a summer suit for a wearable yet cool look. Or why not opt for the freshness of a white-on-white pair such as Nike worn with metallics and neutral tones?
