There are two staple pieces of footwear you should have for spring and summer – a pair of comfortable sandals and a reliable pair of white trainers. Not only do white trainers go with almost everything, but they never go out of style and they’re loved by everyone.
Even the Duchess of Cambridge has an affinity for the humble shoe. In fact, she’s been spotted in three different pairs of white trainers – from Superga, Veja and even high street favourite Marks and Spencer.

We’ve got to be honest, there’s always the worry that white trainers will last all of two minutes before they get dirty and scuffed. But, when they’re so versatile, it seems a shame not to invest in a pair you can wear year after year. They can be paired with a dress or skirt for a comfortable high-low look, or with jeans and T-shirt for your everyday attire. The right pair could even look smart enough for the office, with a blouse, blazer and tapered trouser.
Our pick of the best white fashion trainers start from just £12, with the most expensive pair on our list coming in at £90, so you can get the look whatever your budget. What’s more, a few of these are even in the sale… Happy shopping!
