I’ll be honest: when I think about the trainer brands making waves right now, Ecco isn't exactly top of mind. Known for its orthopaedic-friendly soles and practical designs, the Danish label has long been synonymous with comfort over cool. However, it appears that things are starting to shift.
Just last week, I spotted Suki Waterhouse wearing a pair of Ecco trainers that made me look twice. Ditching the Nike or Adidas styles we're so used to seeing, Waterhouse opted for the brand’s under-the-radar Biom Lite-W trainer (£120), and honestly, she couldn't have chosen better. With a sleek, streamlined silhouette, subtle stripe detailing and a rich, burgundy hue that matched her ruby-red shorts, Waterhouse's low-profile trainers felt like a surprisingly natural pairing to her sporty ensemble.
I've noticed that actor Chloë Sevigny has developed a penchant for the brand too. Wearing Ecco's Biom C-Trail Trainers (now on sale for £108), Sevigny created a typically chic outfit, pairing the lace-up style with a swishy gingham skirt and sporty windbreaker-style jacket.
Ecco, once a go-to for sensible walking shoes, is clearly in the midst of a rebrand. The label's newer silhouettes manage to retain its technical edge whilst tapping into trend-led shapes, colours and design details that feel distinctly now.
Less clueless dad and more IYKYK fashion girl, scroll on to discover the best Ecco trainers to shop now. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
