today

Nothing beats opening a box-fresh pair of white trainers

    White trainers are a non-negotiable in every wardrobe. Comfortable, endlessly versatile and eternally stylish, there are few fashion pieces that are such an easy win when you're choosing what to wear. 

    Whether you're pairing them with straight-leg jeans, leather trousers, midi dresses or loungewear, white trainers are the ultimate off-duty shoe. But these days they make a frequent appearance in office attire, too.

    They can be used to dress down a trouser suit, and as we're approaching summer I'm wearing them with all of my skirts and dresses to add a more casual element.

    THE BEST WHITE TRAINERS AT A GLANCE

    Celebrities & royals wearing white trainers

    Everyone from the royals to A-list celebrities and top fashion designers have a pair of white trainers in their repertoire. Princess Kate prefers a sleek style, choosing Vejas or Superga Cotu Classics, while Kendall Jenner tends to wear chunkier pairs, from basketball-inspired Nikes to retro dad trainers. Katie Holmes shows hers off with cropped straight-leg jeans, and I love them as a finishing touch to Olivia Palermo's all-white tailored ensemble. 

    How I chose the best white trainers

    • Brands: I've only included brands tried and tested by the HELLO! shopping team. Universally-loved sports labels like Nike and adidas are no brainers, while the likes of Sketchers and M&S get impressive reviews.
    • Style: I've included a range of silhouettes, from minimal and sleek to chunky and statement.
    • Price: Equally, I've included something for every budget, from trainers under £40 to pairs at the £115 mark.

    adidas Samba Trainers

    • Sizes available: UK 3-13.5
    • Material: Leather upper

    Loved by the likes of Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and most recently Cat Deeley - the adidas Samba trainers are still the shoes of the season and continue to fly off the shelves. The cult sneakers have now been released in a white colourway with baby blue accents, if you're looking for something slightly different to the classic white and black.

    Veja's sleek Campo trainers are made with ChromeFree leather with mixed suede panels. The celebrity-favourite brand prides itself on being sustainable and is loved by Princess Kate and Meghan Markle, who both have a pair. 

    With their minimalist design, I love them styled with skirts and dresses in both mini and midi lengths.

    Superga 2750 Cotu Classic Trainers

    The Superga Cotu Classics are a plimsoll worn by Princess Kate. She's stepped out in the style for numerous royal engagements over the years, and it's no wonder as they're so classic and versatile. They have a sleek lace-up design that she pairs with everything from tailored trousers to straight-leg jeans and summer shorts.

    • Sizes available: UK 3.5-7.5

    Inspired by 90s basketball sneakers, the New Balance 550s are the ultimate chunky trainer that work to elevate any look. I'd wear them with wide-leg jeans or a loungewear set this summer.

    M&S Collection Leather Lace Up Trainers

    • Sizes available: UK 3-9

    Marks & Spencer's white leather trainers look very similar to Axel Arigato's Arlo sneakers but are a fraction of the price. They have a cool chunky design but are still slim enough to wear everyday - even Holly Willoughby has been spotted in them.

    Not just stylish, they feature the brand's Insolia Flex technology to ensure your feet are correctly placed and stay comfortable all day.
