The time when trainers were considered too casual or too sporty, and belonged almost exclusively to gym wear, are far gone now, and we’re so glad. The sneaker trend combines many different styles; chunky sneakers, metallic details, mixed prints and even platform styles. Trainers aren’t just for wearing to the gym anymore, you can now wear them to work, on the weekend, and you can pair them with almost anything!
We’ve rounded up 12 great neutral trainers that you can wear outside of gym and still rock your outfit in style.
