We are finally able to get our wardrobes ready for Spring Summer 2026, and one thing we’re most excited for are the range of shoe trends that are making strides on the high street.
From the likes of loafers, to statement makers, and vamp heels, there is one style in particular that we’re so ready for, and that’s the jazz shoe.
These take the much-loved ballet-pump trend from 2025, and elevate it for a sleeker silhouette that is the perfect pairing of 80’s dance shoes with low, basic trainers. Add an elasticated collar and you’ve got yourself a shoe that is easy to slip on, and styles well with jeans, dresses and skirts.
ASOS DESIGN Desire Slim Sole Lace Up Trainers in Blush
Blush is basically a neutral at this point, and this slim-sole pair taps straight into the low-profile trainer trend set to dominate Spring/Summer 2026.
They’re sleek, unfussy and ridiculously versatile.
At £30, they’re a no-brainer trend update without the spending guilt.
COS Suede-Nylon Ballet Trainers
If a ballet flat and a retro runner had a very chic baby, this would be it.
The suede-nylon mix gives quiet luxury energy, while the streamlined shape keeps you firmly in 2026 territory.

Stradivarius Satin Fine Sole Trainers
Satin trainers? Yes please.
They nail the sneakerina mood that’s everywhere for Spring/Summer 2026.
The fine sole keeps things fashion-forward, while the sheen adds just enough drama.
Perfect for dressing down a slip skirt or elevating your denim on a quick coffee run.
Anthropologie Maeve Low Profile Trainers
These are giving off-duty Parisian style – think Emily in Paris core.
They’ll work with wide-leg trousers, denim cut-offs and your entire dress collection.
A polished everyday trainer that won’t date by next season, and you can choose from six shades so anyone’s personal preference will be met.
Steve Madden Artiste Pale Blue
Pastel blue for spring? Groundbreaking.
The Artiste shape taps into the retro-sport revival we’re seeing everywhere, while the colour keeps it fresh for warmer days.
They’re bold enough to get compliments, neutral enough to style easily.
A statement trainer that still earns its cost-per-wear.
H&M Low Trainers
Chunky trainers are out, and these minimal, slim and refreshing trainers tick every 2026 trainer trend box.
Easy with tailoring, floaty midis or linen co-ords, they’re the ultimate affordable way to update your spring rotation, that will see you all the way through to summer, and beyond.
M&S Retro Runner Trainers
Giving a more subtle nod to the trend, these runners prove why everyone is falling head over heels for them.
Designed with a more sporty silhouette in mind, they’re easy and effortless, no matter what you have planned.
If you’re someone who lacks colour but wants to start wearing more, shoes are always a good place to start to inject some playful personality.
Vivala Square-Toe Lace-Up Satin Sneakerina
Square toe, satin finish, silk lace-up detail, and butter yellow – this is an all-around spring style must-have.
The pair leans fully into the ballet-meets-trainer obsession for Spring/Summer 2026.
A fashion-forward buy that’ll have everyone asking where they’re from.
