What To Wear With White Trainers

Nabeela SaghirThe ultimate guide to styling white trainers
White trainers have long since moved beyond the gym. Crisp and pared-back, they have a way of making outfits feel relaxed yet put-together in equal measure. Simplicity is their strength, allowing even the most minimal ensemble to feel polished and intentional.
Pair them with classic denim for off-duty ease, or offset a fluid dress or tailored separates for a modern contrast. The result? A look that feels current, wearable and thoughtfully styled.
The fail-safe formula: how to wear white trainers with jeans
When choosing white trainers to wear with jeans, balance is everything: chunky styles work best with straight-leg or relaxed denim, while sleeker trainers complement a skinny or slim-fit cut.
It’s the details that elevate an outfit. A hint of colour – a contrast stripe or panel – can add interest without detracting from the simplicity, giving it a subtle lift. Victoria's trainers do this particularly well, bringing a touch of personality to any look.
The new uniform: how to style white trainers with a dress
White trainers introduce a modern ease to dresses. Their clean lines create an intentional contrast, giving dresses a more relaxed, contemporary feel without lessening the impact.
Midi and maxi dresses are an easy starting point, offering length and movement while keeping the outfit grounded. On off-duty days, a simple T-shirt dress paired with white trainers feels effortless and intentional. Alternatively, a midi polo shirt dress, like this one from Lacoste, smartens things up a bit, while still feeling relaxed, modern and easy to wear.
Modern tailoring: how to wear white trainers with a suit
Pairing a well-fitting suit with white trainers is one of the easiest ways to achieve a contemporary, smart-casual balance.
Our go-to trick? Keep the suit tailored but not stiff – classic trousers and a slightly relaxed double-breasted blazer work perfectly. Layer a V-neck T-shirt underneath for a modern twist, then finish with a pair of pared-back white trainers to anchor the look.
