Knowing how to style trainers for work can be tricky, but we’ve taken the stress out of getting dressed by finding 10 pairs that’ll last past the weekend.
If the lines between your work and weekend wardrobes are blurred, you’re not alone. One thing we should all be able to agree on is that comfort comes first. In fact, we’re here to suggest that everyone should embrace cool kicks no matter their profession (unless you have a strict corporate dress code, of course).
Knowing how to style trainers for a work environment can be tricky, though. Whether you want a classic everyday style from the likes of Superga that’ll go with every type of jean or stick firmly to fashion trainers that’ll elevate even the simplest of looks – we’ve found them all.
We’ve even gone as far as finding the best neutral trainers, including oat milk latte-approved looks from Nike, New Balance and Adidas, as well as crisp and clean white trainers from Veja, Gola, M&S and more. All of which will go with everything from tailored pieces, midi dresses or a classic pair of jeans for those with more casual office environments.

Even if you’re a fan of in-your-face colourful trainers, you don’t have to reserve them just for weekends. Instead, take notes from the street stylers and make them work with a tonal outfit. Whatever colour your shoes are, pull this out in the rest of your outfit and it’ll feel instantly more put together.
If your office is quite chilled, a high/low look is one to base your workwear choices on. You know, a nice dress teamed with a classic pair of Converse or a simple pair of jeans and Nike Dunk trainers with a more tailored blazer and shirt.
Trainers bring an effortless feel to any outfit, so whether you want to find the best chunky kicks, the coolest white trainers or fashion trainers, we’ve found the best ones to snap up right now.
