Up until recently, I've really struggled when it came to styling trainers. Typically I like my outfits to look sleek and polished and, as hard as I tried, I found that trainers never gave me the look I was after. Having long dismissed them in favour of more structured shoes, lately I've spotted a few elegant outfits that somehow look even more chic with the help of a very specific trainer trend.
With a sophisticated colour in common, all of the outfits I'm referencing involve a beige trainer. A footwear chameleon, this inconspicuous trainer trend slots neatly into a polished ensemble, upholding the refined nature of a look without making it feel too sporty or casual as trainers sometimes can.
A classic, neutral shade, beige is always guaranteed to style well with a huge range of colours. While I think a beige trainer can really lift the mood of classic blue jeans, I've also seen this trend style well with grey-tailored trousers or worn with a black wide-leg pair.
Less in-your-face than some of the louder trainer trends that have ballooned this season, these trainers retain a timeless quality that will see them styling well in your wardrobe for many years to come. Some might say they're even easier to pair than white trainers, too—in my opinion, the softer shade of the light beige feels a lot less stark and a little more dressy, making them more wearable in my book.
A clear hit amongst high street and designer brand, Miu Miu X New Balance's light beige iteration became an instant favourite amongst fashion people, selling out as quickly as it came in. On the affordable end of the shopping spectrum, Zara's elegant pair has really caught my eye, but I'm also interested in M&S's sneakers, too.
