How do you wear white trainers?

I have noticed - only now! - that white trainers are in fashion. I've promptly bought somechunky leather ones (Fly London), only to realise I have no idea how to wear them. They seem so unstylish, somehow... I guess it's the kind of thing that can look very wrong easily.

Please instruct me!

Are they in now ? They were last year

It's a casual look isn't it.
I wear mine with skinny jeans and a funky jumper or Tshirt. I'm not very stylish though!

In answer to the thread title, this would be my recommendation:-

On your feet.

If you figure out how to keep them clean btw please let me know.

Bluntness100 · 14/01/2017 19:53

You bought them simply because you thought they were in fashion? 🙄

PinkCloudDweller · 14/01/2017 19:59

Erm... yes. I do have a brain too (just not for fashion...).

Well at least they are useful Grin

HardcoreLadyType · 14/01/2017 20:04

I have some Ash flatform trainers which I wore all this summer and early autumn with cropped boyfriend jeans.

I haven't worn them in the winter, because they look a bit odd with skinnies (being so chunky) and I don't like cold ankles!

Probably not helpful to you, I'm sorry.

PNGirl · 14/01/2017 20:27

I only wear mine rarely in winter. Ankle length skinnies or rolled boyfriend jeans, plainish top, leather jacket.

AteRiri · 14/01/2017 20:36

With anything, really. Shorts, jeans, dress.

Trend forecast says sneakers with embroidery will be in this year. Similar to Gucci's. I think Nike came out with a limited edition AirForce one.

AteRiri · 14/01/2017 20:37

Oh and they've been in fashion for around three years now. But I still love them.

Riversiderunner · 14/01/2017 20:41

Black/grey jeans, top, white trainers.

Not when it's raining.

LiefieLiefie · 14/01/2017 20:58

I have white Nike Air Force Ones. I wear them with everything. They are probably the most versatile shoes I own.

WhisperingLoudly · 14/01/2017 21:03

I wear mine with cropped boyfriends, turned up skinnies, sports luxe joggers.

Don't like them with skirts/dresses myself.

DancingHouse · 14/01/2017 21:23

With blue jeans in the summer.

RocketQueenP · 14/01/2017 21:41

Love this look

I have all white converse and all white air max 90's

I usually wear them with super skinny jeans and a baggy hoody with a leather biker over it

empirerecordsrocked · 14/01/2017 21:49

I think they look best with cropped length is more of a summer thing.

megletthesecond · 14/01/2017 21:53

The students around here are wearing them with no socks and slightly rolled up skinnies. Even in yesterday mornings icy weather.

I don't do white trainers or converse. Am far too messy for white anything tbh.

SeaweedSa1ad · 14/01/2017 22:33

I take a rubber to my white Addidas trainers, works well to remove most marks. I don't wear them in the rain.

Usually wear mine with skinnies or culottes (in the summer).

KeyserSophie · 15/01/2017 03:04

I saw someone yesterday in dark grey cropped skinnies with a navy kimono jacket, white embroidered top underneath, white converse. Looked epic.

That's how I wear mine, except with trainer socks, couldn't not wear socks, doesn't feel right to me!

Keyser that sounds a lovely outfit

SuperFlyHigh · 21/01/2017 11:50

I never wear them as they'd be dirty in a second...

However, I would say spray with stain repellent or rain etc protector first!

What to wear with?! no socks and slightly rolled up skinnies for sure is how I've seen them.

ShoutOutToMyEx · 21/01/2017 11:53

I have white leather Supergas, white Stan Smiths and white Air Force ones. I love them all! I think they work well with just jeans and t-shirts/jumpers, denim shorts in the summer.

RocketQueenP · 21/01/2017 12:03

Ooh I want some white Stan smiths! And some superstars

ShoutOutToMyEx · 21/01/2017 12:58

They are great Rocket, so comfy and (I think) they look good!
