@amaka.hamelijnckStyle Notes: Tapping into the sporty trainer trend (more on that in a moment), New Balance trainers have fast become fashion’s go-to kicks, with the brand’s more neutral styles selling out over and over again. Select a beige or ecru hue, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a dress they won’t go with.
Slip dresses get a playful update in ultra-bright hues.

@raeannlangasStyle Notes: Cute, floral, puff-sleeve dresses have been dominating the frock scene for the past few seasons. Give them a fresh overhaul that’s anything but saccharine with a pair of chunky trainers. What constitutes this style of trainer, I hear you ask? A usually white, retro-style trainer with a thick-tread sole that you could easily walk 30,000 steps in.
Balenciaga elevates the sporty-trainer trend to chic new heights.

@chrissyfordStyle Notes: If you plan on wearing your trainers with printed dresses, you might want to consider looking for pared-back trainers that won’t detract from them. And what could be more classic than a monochrome pair?
A dress you could wear to an array of summer weddings and occasions.

@tamaramoryStyle Notes: Converse trainers have always been a go-to for fashion people, but right now, I’ve noticed more and more influencers are wearing them once again. If you've already invested in a pair, then kudos, for the high-top design is one of the easiest trainers to pair with dresses.
There’s no outfit that can’t be improved upon with a basket bag.
White Converse feel fresh for summer.

@champagnemaniStyle Notes: If you prefer your shoes to do the talking, why not invest in a bold and bright pair of trainers to breathe new life into your basic summer dresses? Imani has done just that with her black cotton midi dress and purple-and-burgundy Nike trainers.
This is the ideal summer dress. I’d wear these everywhere from picnics in the park to Aperols in the beer garden.
These iconic kicks are selling fast.

@discodaydreamStyle Notes: If you’re a minimalist, chances are you’ll already have a pair of Superga’s timeless canvas trainers in your shoe collection. I love how Lauren has used hers to give her LBD a daytime spin.

@himichelleliStyle Notes: I’m no jogger, but I love to see those who run getting more wear out of their running shoes by styling them with things other than their leggings. How cool is Michelle’s floral dress–and–running shoe combination?
I have my eye on this for an upcoming wedding.

@claire_mostStyle Notes: I lived in skater trainers in my teens, and now Nike’s iconic Air Force 1 kicks are back, with fashion types wearing them with everything from wide-leg trousers to, yep, you guessed it, dresses.

@itsmekelliebStyle Notes: We’ve already established that monochrome trainers look chic with dresses, especially when you use them to contrast a paler outfit, just like Kellie did. As far as monochrome trainers go, they don’t come more classic than black-and-white Old Skool Vans.
Use your trainers to give satin dresses a low-key spin.
Another trainer I personally rely on in the warmer months.
