When trying to find the perfect shoe, something that not only looks good but is comfortable too, fashion trainers are the most obvious answer. While we love a good pair of spring/summer sandals, loafers and even a kitten heel for everyday, they can pinch and rub and they require breaking in.
Running shoes are probably the sneakers we buy most regularly for obvious reasons (they wear out), but they’re not exactly an exciting purchase. If you really want to treat yourself this season, a pair of women’s fashion trainers is where its at, and virtually all the SS23 runways would agree. From Alexander McQueen to Gucci and Chloé, trainers remain a firm favourite within the fashion crowd.
So, what are the most popular women’s trainers?
An all year round wardrobe hero – pairing perfectly with everything from summer dresses to high-waisted jeans and trouser suits – there’s nothing like that box-fresh feeling of a pair of the best trainers. Vejas are some of the most popular white trainers right now, with a collection of women including Meghan Markle, Emily Ratajowski and Emma Watson as fans. If you’re after influencer-worthy style, New Balance is one of the most coveted labels for Dad-style trainers, as is Axel Arigato, while the re-surged Adidas Sambas remain highly sought after and repeatedly sell out.
With so many other styles on the market, though, and for so many different purposes, how do you know which trainers to buy? Enter: our almighty shopping guide to the best fashion trainers (and best trainers in general) around.
While trainers might make you think of the gym, our round up of the women’s fashion trainers features styles that are more trend-led than sports-appropriate. No longer reserved for workout bunnies, trainers have become every ‘it’ girl, stylist, editor and celebrity’s footwear of choice for adding a touch of ‘cool’ to any outfit.
