New designer trainers are an instant outfit elevator: they make high-street pieces look more impressive and allow you to 'break' an over-smart look.
Whatever style of shoe you opt for, a new pair of trainers can breathe new life into your old wardrobe, making them the perfect style update, whatever the season.
Stripped-back simplicity is the secret to style longevity, but that doesn't mean you need to opt for no-frills footwear. In fact, the key to ensuring your low-profile trainers look like a fashion statement rather than an afterthought is to focus on subtle design details that set them apart from the pack.
Whether that's subtle branding, a twist on a classic or a discreet pop of colour will depend on your personal style. Whatever pair you opt for, there's something about a bright white sneaker that simply sings spring.
Retro is back in fashion in a big way, and the cult sneakers of the past are cool again too. Whether you missed out on them first time around or want to be reunited with an old friend, this is the season to go back to the future.
The chunky, sporty, super-functional style of 'dad' trainers shows no signs of disappearing any time soon. So if you're yet to jump on the trend, now's the time. To make it work for you style with cropped trousers and play with wider silhouettes to bring balance.
There's an emerging trend for neon, fluoro and rainbow splashes across sporty shoes this season. While not particularly clean and serene, they're certainly good fun and will surely put a smile on your face as you dodge the puddles after the inevitable spring showers.
