Angelina Jolie Walks Her Dog in Affordable Heels

1. Oh-So Retro Runners

Vans Super Lowpro Shoe

Retro, running-inspired sneakers don't have to stop at the expected Sambas – there are tons of sporty styles that go beyond what everyone's wearing nowadays.

Take the Vans Super Lowpro sneakers for instance: they've got a similar streamlined low profile, a lightweight feel, plus that signature side stripe for added flair. They're also ideal for summertime's warmer temps since they wear oh-so comfortably.

Alohas Tb.69 Rife Sheen Taupe Vegan Sneakers

Undeniably athletic (thanks to the cleat-esque rubber soles), this pair of Alohas sneakers is another fave for us when it comes to retro runners. The satin-y material definitely elevates them to be more fashion-forward than solely practical, which can be helpful if you want a summer sneaker to rock across both casual for more-formal 'fits.

2. Smooth, Sleek Suede Sneakers

Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers

It feels like almost every fashion "it" girl has been spotted in Puma Speedcats this year. They obviously embrace the ever-trendy sporty style, but their suede construction makes them perfect for dressing up with slacks, maxi skirts, or mini dresses.

Larroudé Stella Sneakers

To take this summer sneaker trend a step further, go bold with a fun color! This pair's contrasting laces also add to their eye-catching effect.

3. Huge On Pastel Hues

Merrell Moab 3

Pastels aren't just for springtime. This year, they'll be worn well into the summer for a subtle wash of color! Any shades, from greens and blues to purples and pinks, evoke a sense of calm and optimism with every wear, which is never a bad idea for whatever look you're trying to pull.

Since the gorpcore aesthetic shows no signs of slowing down, we're hooked on these hiking shoes from Merrell for the upcoming season.

Veja Volley Suede Sneakers

While most of the sporty sneaks on the market right now draw inspiration from the soccer field, these purple cuties spawn from the volleyball court. They're quite simple in shape, so the pastel purple hue is where they really shine, especially to channel that lively summertime energy!

4. Sporty Ballet Sneakers

Zara Patent Double Strap Ballet Flats

Ballet sneakers are essentially a hybrid between ballet flats and sneakers. We love this sneaker trend because it's yet another direct display of the how the sports world is influencing fashion right now – we can't get enough!

This shiny red pair from Zara exudes sporty vibes not only from the classic ballet flat silhouette, but from the playful seaming around the shoe.

Jeffrey Campbell Regimen Ballet Sneakers

With an even more apparent ballet-inspired design (hello, laces!), these sneaks work wonderfully with feminine-leaning 'fits – think frilly white mini dresses for style contrast or basic black mini skirts paired with easy tees.

5. Shiny Silver Sneaks

Gola Classics Torpedo Glimmer Sneakers

Metallic silver sneakers are the way to go if you wish your shoe game to be nothing but attention-grabbing. Fitted with a reflective effect, these Gola sneakers are easy yet oh-so fun to incorporate into summer outfits, especially if your ensemble's more color-forward.

Adidas Taekwondo Shoes

These sliver Taekwondo-inspired babies boast a cracked leather material for added visual interest, if the smoother feel isn't quite your vibe. Plus, you reap the benefits of street cred when you wear 'em, since they've got the signature Adidas side stripes! We also highly adore the laceless design of these, which makes getting ready in those hotter summer temps easy-peasy.

Gola

Gola Classics Women's Cyclone Sneakers

Gola sneakers are definitely making waves in America, but their presence is way more dominant in Paris. I saw Gola displays at every mall and store I walked into — and they always looked SO cute. Each Gola display always had chic colors and silhouettes. I love this deep red color for summer, but if you're looking for something brighter, I'd try this gorgeous yellow pair!

Autry

Autry Baskets Medalist Platform En Cuir Blanc Et Platine Metallise'

Autry sneakers were everywhere in Paris. While they have plenty of slim styles that resemble popular Pumas and Adidas styles, I loved the chunkier silhouettes like these. I was devastated when they were out of my size in this metallic pair at Galleries Lafayette. But don't worry — I added them to my cart the second I landed back home!

Faguo

Faguo White & Beige Low-Top Tennis Shoes

Faguo is a French brand I'm honestly mad I've never seen before. Not only do they have really cute sneakers, but they also have adorable clothes, too (my husband brought this one home). Really though, these sneakers were in so many chic boutiques and department stores. I'd definitely swap your worn out Stan Smiths for this stylish pair of Faguos!

Alohas

Alohas Tb.490 Rife Sea Pink Leather Sneakers

I've seen Alohas here and there before, but it was clear they were major in Paris. This sustainable brand "only produces what you actually want to buy" in order to reduce waste. So that means they create limited stock that you can buy on-demand, otherwise you've got to pre-order your shoes. Love that!

Adidas

Adidas Samba OG Shoes (Cream White/Violet Tone/Sand Strata)

So I saw these Adidas Sambas and bought them immediately...I couldn't help it! Sambas are obviously THE shoe of the decade, but this colorway just called out to me the moment I saw it. This style felt like a fresh, unique take on the very popular style that I just couldn't pass up. And while my very American self bought these, let it be known that the French girlies definitely still love their Sambas.

Vejas

Vejas V-90 Leather White California

Vejas had their moment in the U.S. around 2018, but it's evident that they never stopped being cool in Paris. They're honestly the ultimate white sneaker with the perfect touch of color and personality. I love the suede accents on this pair — they honestly look almost denim-esque, which is perfect for all your summer vibes.

Is there going to be a Clueless 2?

Yes! Variety announced Peacock is developing the Clueless sequel series yesterday. We can already hear Cher saying "Whatever" to someone who's doing something annoying.

Which cast members will be in Clueless 2?

As of now, Alicia Silverstone's return as Cher Horowitz is the only cast information that's been publicized (via Variety). We'd love to see Paul Rudd return as Josh and Stacey Dash as Dionne Davenport!

What is Clueless 2 about? 

The plot's details are still TBA (to be announced), but Variety is convinced the Clueless sequel series will pick up after the events of the movie.

Who's producing and writing the script for Clueless 2? 

Writers Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss are hard at work on the Clueless script. Alicia Silverstone is also an executive producer alongside Amy Heckerling, writer and director of the OG film, and producer Robert Lawrence (via Variety).

Knowing the names who made the iconic film what it is makes me feel relieved the series will be the one fans of the cult classic deserve!

My Favorite Clueless Scene

I was 100% convinced I'd be able to wear computer generated outfits which probably explains my love for the now defunct Polyvore. It was a collage sight that became home for those who loved creating virtual style mood boards and I like to think Cher Horowitz inspired it.
