Crazy cat lady who loves afternoon tea, kawaii Japanese fashion, and all things Sanrio.

The milk tea trend has exploded out of control. Not only is it present in our snacks like popcorn and chocolate, it’s also extended to our fashion trends. Milk tea hair and lipstick, anyone?

Milk tea-loving sneakerheads can also look forward to adding some new kicks to their collections. Vans has recently released their Old Skool shoes in 3 yummy new shades, all inspired by the well-loved beverage.

Can’t decide between the 3 creamy shades? Well, perhaps you can pick based on your milk tea preferences - light, strong, or smokey.

The shade "Gentle Milk Cream" is just as its name sounds - soft and pale, and easily matched with any sort of wardrobe.

Most striking is "Hazelnut", a shade that closely resembles that of strong Thai milk tea or teh tarik. This is a good pick for those who like to play around with colours. Pair it with contrasting long socks for a chill retro vibe.

Finally, we have "Smoked Milk Tea", an ashy shade that isn’t overly dark. Like Gentle Milk Cream, this is also pretty versatile.

This milk tea Old Skool collection by Vans is currently sold on Taiwanese footwear store FRUITION, and doesn't seem to be available anywhere else in the world yet. We’re definitely hoping that they will be released in Singapore soon!
