As autumn deepens, don't you feel like changing not only your clothes but also your shoes to suit the season?

The appeal of wearing sneakers in autumn

The change of seasons is a time when you feel a little more fashion-forward than usual.
You might be able to get by in the summer with just a pair of white sneakers, but as soon as autumn comes around, their lightness starts to make you look unreliable...

Boots and loafers are lovely and perfect for autumn, but they tend to feel a bit formal and can be a bit difficult to wear on a daily basis.
Sneakers are really comfortable in that respect. They can be worn to work, on weekend walks, or when traveling. Above all, they're easy to walk in.

As autumn approached, I also felt that wearing white sneakers somehow looked out of place, so I started looking for sneakers in autumn colors...
I remember that just by changing my shoes, the same outfit suddenly looked more sophisticated, and I started to enjoy looking myself in the mirror.

Choosing the right color for your fall sneakers: How to balance the season

The most difficult thing to decide when choosing autumn sneakers is, without a doubt, the color.
Autumn colors like brown, khaki, and burgundy are appealing, but when you buy them, you often find that you don't use them as much as you thought you would.

My real-life failure story

- Bordeaux sneakers → I bought them because I thought they were cute and autumnal, but they only went with so few outfits that I only wore them a few times.
・Dark brown → I intended to go for a calm color, but it made my whole body look dark and gloomy, and I spent my days worrying in front of the mirror.

After this experience, I started choosing colors based on a sense of freedom.

This combination works well

Dark pants → Light beige or gray sneakers

Bright knitwear → Add some khaki or brown to your feet

Monotone outfit → Muted beige is a perfect match

Autumn sneakers don't have to be dark in color.
Autumn colors x relaxed look - if you can get this balance right, you'll instantly have a sophisticated autumn look.

To avoid regrets regarding materials and functionality

Autumn is a season when the weather is changeable and there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening.
That's why I feel strongly that it's important not to neglect not only the design but also the materials and functionality.

Suede's bitter memories

It's a very autumnal and lovely material...
One day, it suddenly started raining while I was out, and after it dried, a clear stain remained, which was extremely disappointing. Since then, I always check the weather forecast on days when I wear suede shoes.

Materials suitable for autumn

Water-repellent nylon

Synthetic fibers

Easy-care leather

Especially on weekdays, it is safer to wear something that allows you to walk without worrying about light rain.

And don't forget about comfort.
In autumn, there are many opportunities to walk, such as going to see the autumn leaves or taking a walk outside.
There have been a few times when I bought something because I was attracted to the design, but my feet started screaming after walking in it for an hour...

It's important to actually try them on and check the cushioning and stability.

Size and comfort | Don't forget to wear thick socks

Autumn sneakers are also an item where it's easy to make mistakes when choosing the right size.

I have personally bought socks in the same size as for summer, only to have them become too tight when worn with thick socks in autumn and winter.
On the other hand, I ended up buying shoes that were a little too big, which resulted in my heels coming off the ground every time I walked, causing blisters.

When trying on clothes, be sure to
Consider the thickness of socks in autumn and winter.
This alone makes a huge difference in comfort.

Latest Trends | Why SOON Sneakers Are Attracting Attention

The "SOON" type of sneakers have become more common recently.
It features a plump, rounded shape that gives a subtle presence to your feet, yet surprisingly does not look heavy.

Since I started wearing YUEN's SOON, I've found it easier to balance my autumn outfits. The soft beige color in particular adds a casual touch to the autumn, when darker clothes become more common.
