Please find me some trainers!

I’ve searched and searched for the elusive pair which I think only exists in my imagination. The trainers are to wear with jeans.

I prefer my footwear to ‘go’ with what I’m wearing which is why white trainers were perfect for me.

The ideal would be tan coloured (or a proper neutral that’s not white or black). I really love tan footwear especially in spring and summer. It’s got to the point where I’m happy to throw silly money at it!

If the imaginary pair can’t be found - what do you do if your trainers and top clash badly? Change top? Change trainers? Not give it a thought? I get stuck at “green trainers, must wear green top…” for example.

Get on Vinted and buy new/very good in choice of colours. If you like coloured trainers then Adidas are the go to range. Adidas website is very quick and easy for orders and returns as are Amazon. Feet size 6 and under can buy kids ones as half the price.
M&S, Peacocks, Next etc all do nice trainers too for other options to look at. I think white, black and white, navy and tan will go with most options but I am planning to buy some lemon yellow soon. Cheap because likely to get stained.

I’m the same with colored trainers, I feel like I have to match!

I could have written this myself!

I love my trainers to match

My answer is 12 pairs of trainers sorry - not sorry 😂

I have various sambas and the chunky ones, and 4 pairs of Nike air force, plus some converse style and an Elle pair that work with summer dresses 😂

Fairfax and Favor do some lovely trainers - have linked the tan suede ones they do but they also have white. www.fairfaxandfavor.com/products/richmond-tan-suede

Thanks all, some lovely trainers and great ideas - just gone down the Vinted rabbit warren! Several pairs is the way forward I think…. 😬

Came here to recommend these exact trainers. Go with nearly everything and they’re so comfy. Plus they remind me of the old Etnies trainers I used to live in as a teen 😅

Try looking for beige trainers rather than tan. Adidas do all different styles and darker beiges too. The chunkier styles are in fashion possibly new balance aswell

Beige or tan. Got a great pair in M&S the other day and also there are some good ones in Hobbs.
