In case you hadn’t already noticed, sneakers of all kinds are turning out to be one of the most important trends for Spring 2013. Whether they were spotted on the feet of the chicest fashionistas during Fashion Month or are being spruced for the season up by some of the top designers, sneakers are something you should have in your closet once the warm weather rolls around. Check out our roundup of the best sneakers for spring!

Wedge Sneakers

Wedge sneakers have been around for a while now, but they’re still a trend for Spring 2013. Isabel Marant may not like when other designers and retailers copy her designs, but it seems like just about everyone is selling their own version of the shoe. While sneakers in black and other dark colors have been popular during the winter months, there are plenty of lighter and brighter versions on the market for spring.

Embellished Kicks

If you’re not sure how you feel about wearing wedge sneakers, why not try on a pair of embellished sneakers? Chanel recently released a high-top version covered in flowers, while other designers are covering their kicks in studs, snaps, sequins, buckles, and other notions.

Updated Trainers

Some sneakers fans are sticking to traditional trainers for spring. Céline designer Phoebe Philo has been wearing sneakers like these for years, but only now has everyone else in the industry realized that she was on to something. Stay comfortable in sneakers while also adding some color to your look with the new, bright styles for the season.
