22 best white trainers that are guaranteed to become wardrobe staples
The best women's white trainers perfectly toe the line (pardon the pun) between comfortable, chic and versatile. And once you've found a pair that does all three, you'll agree that white sneakers really are one of the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe.
When the weather is behaving – admittedly, a rarity in the UK – we like to wear our white trainers with a midi dress for a sports-luxe edge. Or, take them to the office by teaming them with a slouchy trouser suit for a high-low contrast. Slip on with your jeans for a trip to the shops, or add them to your go-to leggings and t-shirt walking get-up, the options are endless. No matter what the outfit, you really can't go wrong with a pair of fresh kicks.
So, whether you're buying your first ever pair of shoe-drobe MVPs or replacing your much-loved (and now worn-out) favourites, we've scanned the high street and our favourite online retailers to bring you the very best women's white trainers to shop right now. From go-to names, such as Nike, adidas and New Balance, to designer brands like Alexander McQueen and Gucci, there's no shortage of options to shop here. Oh, and we've also covered leather and canvas finishes - depending on your personal preference - along with a few chunky flatform styles thrown in for good measure.
If you don't find what you're looking for here, be sure to check out our edit of the best fashion trainers too.
Oh, and because we know how grubby white trainers can get (spoiler: VERY), make sure to check out this clever hack for cleaning your classic sneakers, so they can see you through many seasons to come in style.
