How to Wear Slim-Sole Trainers
Slim-sole trainers are the sneaker for people who do not usually wear sneakers. They have a low, flat profile and a clean shape, so they sit comfortably with dresses and tailoring as well as jeans. If you have been looking for a pair that feels easy but still looks put together, this is it.
What makes a trainer "slim-sole"
The sole is thin and flat, and the upper is smooth and minimal. There are no chunky layers and no loud logos. The result is a retro, understated shoe that works as a quiet alternative to a bulky sneaker.
Six ways to wear them
1. With a midi skirt. A pleated or satin midi skirt, a fitted knit and a pair of trainers is the simplest city outfit. The flat shape keeps the skirt in focus.
2. With wide-leg trousers. Let the hem skim the top of the shoe. A leather trainer in a neutral tone keeps the proportions clean.
3. With straight jeans. Roll the hem once and wear a white shirt and a blazer. It looks dressed up without feeling stiff.
4. With a shirt dress. Belt it, add trainers and a canvas or suede tote. It is easy for travel days.
5. With a long coat. In autumn, a camel coat and a pair of dark trainers is a neat, practical combination.
6. With cropped trousers and a thin sock. A small flash of ankle or sock keeps the outfit light.
Leather or satin?
A leather trainer is the everyday choice. It is easy to wipe clean and goes with almost everything. A satin pleated trainer is for days when you want a little more softness and shine, and it is lovely with a skirt or a dress.
How to pick a pair
- Choose a neutral color first: white, cream, black or tan will work with most of your closet.
- Check the toe shape: a squarer toe is more modern, a rounder toe feels more classic.
- Think about where you will wear them: daily walking suits leather, and evenings or travel suit satin.
