15 best white trainers, because (let's face it) they're everyone's favourite
The best white trainers are definitely a commitment. No matter where you live or what environment you wear them in, you'll struggle to keep them box-fresh. And yet, us fashion folk never tire of wearing them do we?
They're a classic for a reason; not only do they look really chic, but I don't know an outfit that doesn't instantly work (or look better) with a pair of crisp white trainers. Let's face it, nothing beats that box-fresh look.
While there aren't many styles of fashion trainers that truly stand the test of time, white pairs seem to. Originally introduced to the world as a sports shoe, these days you're just as likely to find them on the feet of a fashion week f'row-goer or in the office as you are on a tennis court.
Take Glamour HQ, for example – at least one of us can be found in some white sneakers every single day of the week. Whether it's a chunky-soled number from Nike, a sleek slip-on-and-go pair like New Balance's latest style, or a fan favourite like Solomon's XT-6, it's never not the right time to embrace a pair of the best white trainers. See below for proof.

Why you can trust me
For the past five years, it has literally been my job to be clued up on the latest in the world of fashion. I've not only attended all the press days, fashion shows and showrooms to see the latest drops, but I've been covering them all, too. I advise readers where to shop for capsule wardrobe essentials which is exactly the category white trainers fall into. It also helps that, as a 6ft tall woman, comfortable-yet-chic footwear is exactly my forte. So not only have I heard about the best white trainers, I've actually probably been wearing them.
