The 21 Pairs Of Trainers The Fashion Set Are Wearing Right Now
Nothing can signal a sartorial vibe shift like a trainer can. Here, Naomi Pike shares the how and why on the best trainers to buy this season.
Trainers are singular in the style space for their ability to change the vibe of an outfit before you’ve even fastened the laces. Combining comfort and hypebeast credentials, pairs from Nike to Adidas, Balenciaga to Chanel can bring a whole new vibe and energy to even the most tried-and-tested outfit combinations.
This season, the fashion set is shaking things up when it comes to must-have trainers, choosing styles that are not only retro in feel but bring into focus quirky colour palettes. Think outside of the box in pairs that prove chunky, even clunky, but speak of knowing sneaker knowledge.
As a fashion editor, I think the best trainers to buy this season offer up a colour palette that feels a little left field. Think Fenty x Puma's purple and red combination or even the idea of The Row’s sleek-chic brown pair worn with Olsen-approved layering and black opaques set against them in contrast. It’s an idea that doesn’t fall far from ‘so wrong it’s right.’
Trainers are now a big deal for big-name brands with Chanel, Gucci and Balenciaga amongst those that have cult-status styles that those wanting to make an investment should consider, while the high street has options equally worthy of your attention. Marks & Spencer’s have a particularly appealing pair in three different colourways at just £35.
Here, are the best trainer and sneaker options to add to your wardrobe now and rely on all season long.
