Imagine adding a pinch of brown sugar to your favorite milky kicks. If you’re a fan of the classic-white sneaker, then we’ve got a new neutral for you to dip your toes into. Whether you call the color beige, taupe, tan, or off-white, this dreamy nude hue is trending — and, we’re not surprised. The soothing color is incredibly versatile and evokes a level of comfiness that makes it an easy-to-wear wardrobe staple; especially when it’s featured in sneaker form.
For the days when you aren’t lounging in slippers, throwing on a pair of beige sneakers is a subtle way to switch up your wardrobe without needing a complete outfit overhaul. Just consider the styling potential: full latte-inspired monochromatic moments or the creamy hue paired with gentle baby blues. This go-with-the-flow shade was made to complement everything from the prettiest pastels to the most verdant earth tones. We went ahead and dug through a multitude of sneakers to find the best beige styles that will make fresh additions to your spring-shoe rotation.

Vans SK8-Hi
Who doesn’t love a good high top – especially in this classic style. Trade-in your black or white SK*-Hi for the cooler more calm “incense” hue.
“I wore the canvas version of these when I was in high school, and I loved them. I got this pair with the intention to pair them with casual black layers, leggings, and maybe even a dress. They can translate between styles like a pair of Doc Martens and are perfect for the grown-up goth look. As with all Vans shoes, expect insoles with no arch support. I have flat feet but love the thin sole. I tend to wear women’s 10½-11 and ordered men’s 10/women’s 11½ and the fit is just right.” – Zappos Reviewer
