Brown Sneakers Are the ‘It Girl’ Shoe Trend of Fall 2025

Every fall, a new color reigns supreme. This year, that color is brown. 

And that makes sense! The color is so versatile. It can be warm and earthy, cool and milky, and even rich and deep. Which means you can definitely find a shade of brown that works for you, whether you’re shopping for transitional basics, cozy matching sets, or even athleisure.

And while we’re sure your wardrobe will include chocolate and latte-hued dresses and tops, you need to buy brown shoes—specifically, brown sneakers. They’re going to be huge this fall. Pair the trendy autumnal color with a retro design and you’ve got a match made in trend heaven.

They offer a trendy alternative to your go-to black or white sneakers – and we found the most stylish brown sneakers to rock this season.
