The terms ‘classic’ and ‘timeless’ get thrown around a lot in the fashion world. In reality, however, there are few items they really apply to: a little black dress, a trench coat, a navy blazer and, of course, white trainers. Whether you’re opting for something low profile and minimalist or are tempted to try the trend for so-ugly-they’re-good dad sneakers, white trainers are the perfect way to put a casual spin on tailoring, a sporty twist on a floaty dress or simply pair with your favourite jeans for an effortless outfit. Here’s our guide to the best white trainers for women to buy now.
Chloé Lauren low top sneakers
Crafted in Italy, with a sweet scalloped edge and monogram heel tabs, Chloé’s off-white Lauren sneakers are the ideal pair of everyday trainers. Renowned for its on-point accessories, the B Corp-certified brand has knocked it out of the park with these sporty-yet-smart leather trainers.
Lacoste Carnaby trainers
Harping back to Lacoste’s rich tennis heritage, these simple trainers wouldn’t look amiss on the court but also boast an abundance of streetwear potential. This season, the clean-lined design has been crafted from fresh white leather embellished with gold-tone metallic detailing, centred by a lace jewel. This is the definition of simply elegant.
Gucci GG-embossed trainers
Former creative director Alessandro Michele’s retro flair shines through in this pair of GG-embossed perforated-leather trainers. We’re wearing ours with dark denim jeans, a simple tee and a classic trench coat.
Veja Esplar leather sneakers
Vejas have become a fashion staple for many, but their enduring appeal means we couldn’t leave them out of this edit. The Esplar sneakers are one of the brand’s original silhouettes, defined by their casual and sleek design which is then reimagined every season in different colourways. For summer, we love this pair with pink-hued branded accents.
New Balance 530 trainers
Once bemoaned as a brand for dads, New Balance is having a bit of a moment of late. Favoured by Gen-Z style stars and fashion editors alike, these chunky-but-funky 530 trainers in black and white will upgrade any outfit, whether it’s jeans and a jumper, or a smart suit.
Premiata midquin high-top sneakers
In the market for some new high-tops? Opt for these midquin sneakers by Italian shoe brand Premiata. Featuring calf leather perforated detailing and a logo-print tongue, we’re big fans of the subtle splash of colour which, in this case, adorns the panelling in apple-green hues.
Balenciaga Track trainers
A favourite of the street style set, these all-white Track sneakers from Balenciaga are the perfect finishing touch to any great outfit. Part-sporty, part-dad and featuring the brand’s signature extra-chunky sole, whether you style them with wide-leg trousers, or a pretty sundress, these are sure to win you major style kudos.
Golden Goose Stardan 10100 trainers
Since launching its cult trainers in 2007, Golden Goose has become a true favourite of the style set, thanks to its hallmark worn-in finish. These all-white Stardan trainers, with gold foil logo detail, are made in Italy from 100 per cent leather.
Reformation Harlow trainers
Designed to be 100 per cent recyclable, Reformation’s first-ever sneaker is already gaining quite the following. Crafted from smooth chrome-free calf leather, each pair features contrast piping details for an extra flair. Available in a range of colourways including midnight blue and lawn green, our pick is the blue and white floral Pompadour print.
R.M. Williams Surry sneaker
Paying homage to R.M. Willams’ archival Sand Shoe (first released in 1940), the brand’s leather Surry sneakers feature a modern take on a classic derby shape. Crafted with a round toe, embossed script logo detailing and a comfy padded leather footbed, you’ll turn to these classic white trainers time and time again.
