Rocking a skirt or dress with white trainers is a look I like to partake in. Super cool, comfy and just easy. But come winter, and tights weather; I am a little perturbed by the idea of sporting my white trainers with my black tights.
Knowing how to style trainers with your winter outfit when tights come in to play, is quite the style dilemma. A pair of ankle boots, slouchy knee boots or suede over the knee boots all look fab with tights and dresses or skirts, but what if you want to stay uber casual, cool and comfy in your trainers? “Can I wear my white trainers with black tights?”, is a question I am often asked…
As I always say, when it comes to style, I don’t believe in rules. Just wear what you love. So if you love sporting your white trainers with your winter black tights, then good for you! Go for it. I think it looks fab, as shown here by the gorgeous Camille Charriere. But for me and for my style, I find the look a little stark and have found my answer in black hi tops. I picked mine up at the House of Fraser sale for just £22 and I’m loving them. They’re also super with my boyfriend jeans and winter trousers. A footwear staple.
Whatever trainers you do own, just put them with your black tights. Or change it up with a pair of patterned or coloured tights, add a pair of ankle socks or treat yourself to a new pair and step out on confidence.
Here are a few looks, which I hope will inspire you to wear your trainers your way this winter…
Why not bring out your individuality with a pair of print trainers? Love these playful hearts. Quirky patterned tights are also a great alternative to classic black.
A pair of black and white trainers, hi tops or Converse look fab with thick black tights. Why not throw some leather and a blast of colour in the mix, for a chic but tough-luxe edge.
How about a pop of colour or sparkle? Love these hi-shine gold metallic numbers worn by Leanne Taylor…
