Must-Have trainers for every occasion

Gone are the days when sneakers were only allowed on the sports field. Today they’re acceptable wear for all occasions, even the most formal – just ask Kristen Stewart. So as well as your flats and heels, a girl’s gotta have a few essential pairs of kicks to see her through the year’s fashion seasons.
From partying at the weekend, to giving your feet some comfort for your day at the office, today’s broad-ranging sneaker styles allow you to find kicks for every outfit. Smart to formal, laid back to glammed up, this guide will walk you through the essential pairs that your wardrobe needs.
Glam it up
For nights out on the town, you want a trainer with a bit of bling, and thankfully there’s no shortage of eye catching designs out there. An easy way to add some sass is to go metallic, for a guaranteed way to grab attention at the party. Glitter materials, unusual designs, or just blasts of bold colour are all options for an evening out in sneakers.
Rita Ora shows you don’t need to dress sneakers down, and you can team them with the sexiest outfits in your wardrobe. If you want to add some height, you’ll even find high heeled sneakers out there – perfect with a skirt or dress to lengthen those legs.
Keep it casual
For daywear, there’s only one shoe you need. The iconic Converse All Star, as constantly modelled by Kristen, is a modern classic. It’s been on the scene since 1917, and we can see why it’s stuck around. Hi top or low, these look great with everything – from your favourite pair of skinny jeans, to cute sundresses and shorts.
You can dress them up, you can dress them down, and with so many colourways and patterns to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find a pair to put the finishing touch to all your outfits. Check out the whole range of Converse All Stars at JD Sports for some instant colour inspiration.
Work it

For a day at the office, you need to go down the smart sneaker route. So ditch the eyepopping colour and stick to muted shades like black, brown, white and grey. These all look clean and fresh, and this colour palette is incredibly versatile, meaning they’ll go with all of your workwear outfits.
It’s best to stick to streamlined pairs that aren’t too bulky, as these don’t mix well with suits and tailored trousers. So avoid those Kanye-style hi tops and go for low tops instead. As for materials, leather works best. They’re easier to keep clean than canvas, and look more professional too.
Getting sporty
Trainers are built for sport, although they’ve crossed over into high fashion lately, and have been a mainstay of street style for decades. For your jogs around the block and trips to the gym, you need to have a pair that’s really designed to give your feet the comfort and support they need as while you run. Look for breathable sneakers to keep sweat and foot odour at bay, and concentrate on function, not fashion when you shop for this pair.
