Ladies' trainers remain essential year-round. Pair them with jeans and a simple tee or jumper for a relaxed weekend look, or with leggings and an oversized hoodie for something more athletic. They create an interesting contrast when worn with midi or maxi dresses and work surprisingly well with tailored trousers and a blazer for a smart-casual feel. During warmer months, trainers naturally complement denim or cargo shorts, while in cooler seasons, wearing them with tights and a sweater dress offers both comfort and style.

Ladies' trainers can also look great with a casual skirt, like a pleated or A-line one, teamed with a simple blouse. You could even try adding a lightweight jacket or cardigan to make it feel more put together. If you're aiming for a bit of edge, try pairing them with wide-leg trousers or a cropped jacket. The beauty of trainers is they really let you mix and match, so don't be afraid to play around with different styles!

To keep your trainers looking fresh, start by removing the laces and insoles. For fabric or canvas styles, use a mild soap solution with a soft brush, gently scrubbing in circles, and then wipe them down with a damp cloth. For leather trainers, just wipe them with a damp cloth, and use a leather cleaner if needed. Always let them dry naturally, away from direct heat, and stuff them with newspaper to help them keep their shape. With a little care, your trainers will stay looking great.

It’s also important to regularly clean the soles to prevent dirt and grime buildup, which can affect the overall appearance. For stubborn stains, use a specialised cleaner suitable for the material of your trainers. Store them in a cool, dry place, and avoid wearing them in extreme weather conditions whenever possible
