Easy to style and somehow always elegant, behold the classic white trainer. Once thought to be too casual (and only to be partnered with athleisure and loungewear), the classic white trainer is now a universally beloved wardrobe staple no matter your personal style. Whether you're an easy, breezy summer dress wearer or fancy getting some extra cool points in your wedding suit, white trainers -be they chunky, dad-style or high tops - can always perfect a look.
Since the mid 2010s, when Normcore was King, fashion has held an infatuation white trainers. Our love of the shoe style has persevered and white trainers from Stella McCartney, Veja, Gucci and Nike have survived through maximalism, Cottagecore and minimalism. Stylish celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Gabrielle Union can't help but reach for a classic pair of white trainers, and to be honest, neither can we.
From skater styles for pairing with a cropped wide-leg jeans, through to dad-style sneakers to wear with some festival-ready designer bum bags, everyone needs a pristine pair of classic white trainers. And with everyone from Vans and H&M to ACNE and New Balance throwing their hat in the white kicks ring, there is no excuse not to have a fresh pair of dazzling creps. (If you have trouble keeping them quite so fresh, we've put a handy 'How To Clean White Trainers' guide right here).
