Best Men’s Fashion Trainers To Wear Year-Round

When it comes to crafting a capsule wardrobe, one can’t overstate the value of men’s fashion trainers. In addition to providing comfort and versatility, the right sneaker can instantly elevate a whole outfit. Here, we round up the best men’s fashion trainers to shop now and wear for seasons to come. Ranging from covetable designer brands to high street labels that combine style with affordability, we’ve covered all the bases.
Best mens designer trainers
It’s only fitting to kick off this list with the most ‘fashion’ of fashion trainers. At Milan Men’s Fashion Week, trainers were enthusiastically embraced by the style set.
This season, the designer names to watch are Loewe, who recently released the ‘if you know, you know’ Flow sneakers featuring a cursive ‘L’ down the side. Alternatively, if you’re looking for trainers that have been ‘in’ season after season, you can’t go wrong with Saint Lauren’s minimalism or the perfectly lived-in aesthetic of Golden Goose.
Best high street fashion trainers
For those interested in spending slightly less on their next pair of sneakers, you’ll be glad to know that the high street has plenty of on-trend options. From mainstay brands like Adidas and Nike to the names experiencing a resurgence in recent seasons (see: Onitsuka), there’s something for everyone. High street brands do particularly well with colourful trainer designs – we’re still obsessed with the eye-catching Adidas Sambas or, for those who prefer statement details, New Balance 550s.
Best white fashion trainers
Arguably the most versatile and timeless of all the fashion trainers, ivory sneakers are perfect for maximising how often you can wear your trainers. The best white styles on the market now have a decidedly sporty feel to them. Whether it’s the retro-inspired tennis shoes of Autry, or the hyper-modern silhouette over at Nike, you can’t go wrong. As for the higher-end brands, clean lines and fuss-free plimsolls are the order of play at the likes of Moncler and Common Projects.
Best black fashion trainers
Last but certainly not least are the white trainers’ undeniably more practical counterpart: black trainers. Whether you’re attending a late-night gig or knocking about town, styles that embrace the monochrome palette look freshest the longest. Of course, there are retro-inspired classics ranging from Converse’s iconic Chuck Taylor all the way to the revived Samba, but there’s also a place in our hearts (and wardrobes) for cutting-edge materials and silhouettes.
