When it comes to fashion, there's something to be said for those colors that go with nothing and, therefore, go with everything. They may be polarizing, but sometimes, they catch on. To provide context, one of the color trends that I'm referring to that fits this description is canary yellow, and the specific form it was most coveted in was sneakers. I reported that Kaia Gerber was frequently spotted wearing bright-yellow sneakers nearly two years ago when Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico 66 Sneakers were the latest affordable It item that was sold out everywhere. The yellow-sneaker trend never went away, even while prettier colors like pale pink have emerged. We now have celebrity proof that the "ugly" sneaker color trend is very much alive, as confirmed by the always trend-forward Anya Taylor-Joy.
While strolling around NYC with her husband over the weekend, Taylor-Joy was photographed wearing a chic all-burgundy outfit with unexpected yellow Mexico 66 Sneakers. Especially in the winter, a pop of color is a welcome sight, and Taylor-Joy's choice to wear clashing sneakers with her richly colored outfit paid off, in my opinion. If you're also still on board with the yellow-sneaker trend, keep scrolling to shop some of the coolest pairs to wear in 2025.
