Yes, Trainers Can Look Elegant and Sophisticated—These 7 Outfits Prove It


I must admit, although I’m a fashion editor and love boots, flats and heels as much as the next person, I would happily wear trainers every day. This is partly down to their practicality and partly down to their ability to make almost any outfit feel instantly cooler. In fact, I believe there are very few looks that aren’t made better through the addition of a great pair of trainers.

But wait, before you start throwing controversial trainer outfits at me; yes, a ball gown and trainers may be a step too far (sadly, we aren’t all Rihanna), however, a dress and trainers can be incredibly chic, proving it only takes a few thoughtful style choices to many any outfit trainer feel put-together.
