Vogue’s “5 Ways to Wear Ballet Trainers in 2025” spotlights the refined hybrid trend known as sneakerinas—a graceful fusion of sneaker functionality and ballet-flat elegance. These shoes, from both high street and designer lines, feature satin vamps, ribbon laces, rubber soles and rounded toeboxes, offering both comfort and romance.

The guide outlines five winning styling strategies : 

1. With sleek tailoring – Pair a minimalist tuxedo or blazer‑trouser set for polished, modern contrast.
2. High‑street casual updates – Slip into jeans or leggings for everyday wear with soft tailoring.
3. Soft pastel ensembles – Lean into balletcore with baby‑pink skirts, polo tops, or coquette details.
4. Summer dresses or shorts combos – Ballet trainers pair beautifully with airy slip dresses or mini shorts.
5. Bold accessories and textures – Mix laces, mesh, or satin shoes with contrasting materials or vibrant hues for visual depth.

Always prioritize balance: sleek tailoring with ribbon-laced sneakers, or romantic pastels with sport‑inflected detailing. From Puma’s Speedcat to Vivaia’s Lace‑Up Sneakerina and Simone Rocha’s creations, these styles marry modern functionality with dreamy flair, propelled by celebrity fans like Bella Hadid and Rosé.
