4. WEAR THEM TO WORK
Trainers used to be allowed in the office only on Casual Fridays – but today they are a mainstay business meetings. To balance out the casual feel of your trainers, pair them with tailored pieces like a blazer, dress pants, or a pencil skirt. The contrast of a sharp, tailored blazer with your trainers present a striking outfit that is both stylish and appropriate for the office. Creating a polished, professional look that is comfortable and easy to wear.
5. OPPOSITES ATTRACT
Trainers are the epitome of casual cool. This doesn't mean you can't pair them with more elegant and sophisticated pieces to create a striking fashion statement. In fact the combination of trainers and more formal pieces can be particularly effective. Teaming a sleek trench coat, or a sharply cut blazer with fine cotton chinos, can elevate the low-key style of your trainers to a whole new level.
6. SHOW SOME ANKLE
Wearing sneakers with no socks is the perfect way to add a touch of effortless style to your outfit. During the warmer months, skip the socks and show off your ankles for a relaxed and casual look. The quality of your trainers makes all the difference in maintaining your comfort during summer, therefore opt for trainers made from breathable materials like mesh, canvas or knit, which will allow your feet to breathe and prevent sweating.
7. COMPLETE YOUR LOOK
Wear your sneakers with carefully chosen leather accessories, for a coordinated style statement. A high-quality leather belt, for example, can complement your trainers nicely, while a leather watch strap can add a touch of sophistication to your look. And don't forget about bags - an expertly-crated leather bag can really tie your whole look together.
8. ADD WHITE TO YOUR COLLECTION
White is associated with lightness and freshness, so it’s no wonder that white trainers are perennially popular. Cream, white or grey trainers add a particularly elegant touch, providing a blank canvas for your outfit: accentuated with chinos in bright colours or with patterned shirts, white sneakers offer a calming counterpoint.
