Are chunky trainers still in style in 2021?

The chunky trainer you’ve come to know is taking a backseat in 2021, with more pared-back sports luxe styles having their moment.

Net-A-Porter report that sporty and retro sneakers will be the most popular styles this year, citing Adidas, Veja and Loewe’s latest designs as those to look to this season.

You’ll be glad to know that chunky soles are still in, this time as more of a flatform.

Are chunky shoes still in style in 2021?

Chunky boots, loafers and dad sandals are still very much in style in 2021.

It’s hard to look at street style without spotting a pair of Bottega Veneta’s BV Tire Boots, and as discussed in our spring summer 2021 sandal report, flatforms will be huge this summer too.

Chunky loafers are trending too, thanks to Prada’s brushed pair.
