FAQs on trending footwear for men and women

Sneakerinas — ballet slipper-inspired trainers — are huge for women in 2026, pairing beautifully with flowy dresses or structured menswear-inspired trousers for a chic contrast.

Elevated loafers, retro runners, leather dress sandals, and men’s mules are dominating menswear footwear — all signalling a deliberate, fashion-forward approach to everyday style. 

Absolutely — loafers are seeing a huge resurgence for both men and women in 2026, with the classic preppy style proving popular across all ages and outfit types.

Low-profile sneakers, led by Adidas and Puma, are a feminine favourite, while chunkier retro Y2K joggers from New Balance and Nike remain equally popular. 

Wedges are making a strong Y2K-inspired comeback — from strappy cork wedge sandals to chunky-heeled flip-flops — offering comfort without sacrificing style or height.
