The messenger bag; a staple of students, commuters, and fashion-lovers alike.
It’s the ultimate carry-all, combining practicality with a distinctly laid-back look. But how did this everyday essential become a global icon of style?
To truly appreciate the enduring appeal of the messenger bag, we need to look at its journey from a tool of the trade to a fashion statement.
In this guide, we’ll tell the story of how the messenger bag went from humble beginnings to becoming one of Gola’s core fashion staples.
The history of the messenger bag is rooted in function, not fashion.
Its origins can be traced back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, where it was the trusted companion of postmen, utility linemen, and military couriers. The design was born out of necessity: a durable, single-strap bag worn across the body, leaving the hands free for carrying tools, maps, or dispatches. Its large flap provided quick, easy access to contents while on the move, a feature that remains central to its design today.
The cultural shift of messenger bags began in the mid-20th century. Adopted by bicycle couriers in bustling urban centres, the messenger bag became synonymous with speed, efficiency, and a certain gritty, rebellious spirit.
By the 1990s, this look had broken into the mainstream, evolving from a practical necessity to a must-have accessory for students, creative professionals, and anyone seeking a bag that was less formal than a briefcase, but more stylish than a backpack.
Gola enters the bag market
From the birth of the Gola brand in 1905, the focus was on footwear.
With a rich history steeped in sport and speed, by the 1960s and ‘70s, Gola had become a dominant force in British sportswear, with our iconic trainers seen on athletes and fans alike. With this rapid expansion, moving into accessories was a natural progression.
During this golden era, the Gola messenger bag was born.
In 1972, Gola launched a collection of sportswear and accessories that perfectly captured the mood of the time.
The bags, with their bold branding, clean lines, and vintage flair, quickly became a must-have accessory for all. They were more than just a way to carry your belongings; they were a symbol of athletic cool and British style.
The Gola Redford Messenger Bag: A Timeless Icon
Whilst a variety of messenger bags have been adopted into our collections over the years, there was one design that rose above the rest as a Gola icon and an enduring classic: the Redford messenger bag.
Launched in 1974, the Redford became an instant success. Taking styling cues from the Northern Soul and Mod movements of the era, the Redford combines a smart, structured silhouette with a sporty edge. The bag’s standout features, the striking contrast piping, the prominent Gola logo, and its practical size made it a favourite among students and the style-conscious who wanted to carry their essentials without compromising their style.
Today, our Redford messenger bag remains a cornerstone of the Gola Classics collection. With its timeless design and unisex appeal, the Redford is just as relevant now as it was 50 years ago.
While new colourways and materials keep it feeling fresh, the modern Redford bag retains the look and feel of the original, proving that true style never goes out of fashion.
From its humble beginnings as a practical tool to its current status as a fashion icon, the messenger bag has a rich history combining fashion and functionality.
Gola’s messenger bags are timeless accessories with a unique heritage that has stood the test of time. The icon of the collection, the Gola Redford messenger bag, isn’t just a piece of fashion history; it’s a testament to the power of classic design. It’s the perfect blend of form and function—a bag you’ll want to carry not just for its practicality, but for its iconic fashion status.
The current resurgence of heritage fashion is undeniable.
Whilst many brands may be adapting their collections to suit the growing trend, Gola is one of the true pioneers of retro fashion. With 120 years of rich history and designs to call upon, it’s no wonder that the Gola brand is surging in popularity.
Before retro was a buzzword, Gola created iconic trainer designs influenced by its technical footwear knowledge and sporting expertise.
Although no longer the first brand you would call upon for your track and field exploits, the style influences from these heritage designs remain a key part of the Gola collection today.
Gola presents five heritage trainers from their sporting origins, ideal for embracing retro fashion or terrace wear trends. Here are the stories behind some of Gola’s heritage styles so you can add authentic retro-style trainers to your wardrobe.
Gola’s most iconic, well-known trainer, the Harrier, has been a staple of the Gola brand since 1968.
The first Harrier trainer was designed by Fred Dilley, crafted from white leather and featured a green suede cap and wingflash on its side. Created with sport in mind, the Harrier was originally designed for training and sports, including volleyball, badminton and squash. It quickly became a favourite throughout the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
When retro fashion came back in style in the early ‘00s, Gola relaunched the Harrier, which quickly became a roaring success. Loved by those searching for men’s heritage trainers, it became the trainer of choice for men, from the terraces to the stage, when it was adorned by music icons including Paul Weller, Robbie Williams and the Gallagher brothers.
Versatile and timeless, the Harrier has spanned five decades and has been reimagined in over 500 different colourways. Gola’s flagship style, the Harrier remains a firm favourite today, embraced by nostalgic dressers, lovers of vintage fashion, terrace wear enthusiasts and trend-following fans alike.
The latest spring/summer 2025 men’s Harrier styles feature the same classic silhouette you’ve come to know and love, reimagined in bright and bold colourways, so whether you’re looking for a statement wingflash or something to set you apart on the terraces, the Harrier is the ideal choice.
First added to the Gola range during the 1970s, Gola’s Elan trainers remain a firm favourite today, selling out as quickly as they come in stock!
Offering a retro running shoe aesthetic, it was first introduced to the Gola collection as a multi-purpose training shoe and retains its old-school gum sole, harking back to its roots.
With a similar silhouette as the Harrier, Elan has a distinctive additional heel tab panel; an opportunity to add in a fashionable colour pop!
When the Elan was reintroduced to Gola’s collection in 2023, it was met with instant success. Elan remains a true standout style of the Gola collection, even becoming the style of choice for the Gola 120 Years collection.
Reimagined in stunning brights for spring/summer ‘25, shop Elan trainers in women’s, men’s and kids’ sizes at Gola and embrace the new season in retro-inspired style!
Sweeping onto the trainer scene like a whirlwind, the Gola Tornado, available for men and women, is everything you could ever want in a classic terrace wear trainer.
Taking style notes from its 1985 ancestor, this track and field-inspired design is available in a selection of bright styles for the new season, alongside neutral classics created for pairing with all your everyday wardrobe staples.
With a slight wedge gum sole reminiscent of school-gym attire, the Tornado is crafted from a heavy weave nylon upper and finished with stylish suede detailing.
Whether you’re shouting from the terraces or embracing retro-inspired terrace dressing, the Tornado is a fashion force to be reckoned with.
If you’re searching for timeless and versatile retro-trainers, look no further. The vintage-inspired Gola Viper is the ideal choice for purveyors of classic style.
The Viper is a perfectly proportioned heritage trainer rooted in 1970s sports shoe design, available in both men’s and women’s sizes.
Featuring minimalist lines and an on-trend gum sole, the Viper offers many dressing options. Pair yours with track pants to fully embrace retro-inspired dressing, or pair with wide-legged jeans for a modern twist on a vintage classic.
Available in suede and leather designs and classic and contemporary colour palettes, find your perfect pair and curate a desirable heritage style.
A plimsoll design straight out of Gola’s archives, the Badminton brings a 1970s-inspired aesthetic to modern-day dressing. A re-release of a 1970s original, the Gola Badminton was originally designed for indoor court sport. While it’s been adapted to have a fashion focus, the style retains its flexible outsole and key elements of the original design.
This canvas classic is the ideal spring/summer choice and comes in a range of colours, from court-inspired white to classic black for both men and women. Each pair features the classic Gola wingflash in a range of colours, and this season, the style has even been reimagined with metallic detailing for a chic twist!

On 22nd May 2025, Gola celebrates its 120th birthday.
To highlight this exceptional milestone, we’re looking back on some of the key events in our history, and how our footwear and products have developed and evolved to help us to become and remain a British household name.
Come with us on this nostalgic journey as we celebrate 120 years!
Gola’s Legacy: Lacing up 120 years of a heritage brand
A lot can happen in 120 years, which couldn’t be truer for Gola. From producing the first iterations of innovative performance football boots to growing into a sporting icon, our rich history is one we’re extremely proud of!
Here are some of the standout moments from our history over the last 120 years;
1905 – Gola was born, and the focus was football boots.
Gola’s early football boots were made from leather and nails and helped lay the foundations of the brand. However, with the outbreak of the First World War in 1936, production halted as manufacturers focused on essential goods only.
1950s & ‘60s – Football boots and track shoes
During the 1950s, the football boots focus returned. The technical materials the boots were made from began to evolve, with the designs becoming lighter and their uppers cut lower. These new designs allowed for greater ball skill and control.
In 1965, Gola kitted out Liverpool FC for their FA Cup Final winning game against Leeds, catapulting the boots’ popularity.
Gola also branched into track shoes with designs similar to those available today. The 244 track shoe, known for its soft and lightweight kangaroo skin uppers, was worn by many pro athletes, including long-distance runner David Bedford, who set a new 10k world record in them at Crystal Palace in 1973.
Gola was known throughout this time as the ‘Great British Sport Shoes’ brand. From sponsoring players to being the first to abbreviate the words’ training shoes’ to ‘trainers’ – during this time, Gola had sport at the heart of everything it did.
It’s also important to mention that 1968 also saw the development of the first iteration of the Harrier, a training shoe that would go on to become a brand icon. Designed by Fred Dilley, it featured a white leather upper with a green ‘wingflash’ and a green suede toecap and was an instant success, seeing 6,000 pairs produced weekly during the ’60s.
1970s – Gola is a top 3 sports brand
Undergoing rapid expansion, exporting to 67 countries, and in 1966, with World Cup Winning England manager Alf Ramsey sitting on the board as a consultant and brand ambassador, it’s clear to see why Gola accrued so much success as a sporting champion throughout the ’70s.
Besides kitting out Manchester United, more sporting collaborations also helped solidify our brand as a sporting hero.
Expansion into sportswear and accessories also meant that Gola was becoming a household name, with Gola bags becoming a popular choice for school children and physios alike.
The ’70s (1971) also saw the launch of the first Elan track shoe, a pioneer, later developed into one of Gola’s most iconic trainer designs.
1980s – Gola gained its wings
Sponsoring comic book hero Roy Race, of Roy Of The Rovers fame and creating a kit for his fictional team, the Melchester Rovers, and signing a deal with the Conference League (which later became known as the Gola League), were some of the ways which Gola continued to ride the crest of our sporting success in the ’80s.
The 1985 ad campaign ‘Put Wings on Your Feet’ was also a key factor in the development of our brand. Referring to trainers featuring the ‘wingflash’ design, little did we know that this campaign would be so synonymous with the brand today and a prominent feature of most modern-day Gola trainers.
1990s: New beginnings and rock and roll stars
The ’90s saw new beginnings for Gola. After dwindling successes towards the end of the ’80s, in the mid-nineties, Gola was acquired by Jacobson Group.
With a focus on celebrating its rich history and heritage, Gola was relaunched as a stylish heritage footwear brand. By the decade’s end, Gola once again was experiencing roaring success.
The launch of the Gola Classics collection and the return of the iconic Harrier trainer, when retro fashion was resurgent, saw superstars of the time desperate to get their hands on Gola footwear and apparel.
Noel Gallagher contacted Gola requesting Harrier trainers for himself and ‘our kid’; Paul Weller and Robbie Williams were often seen wearing Gola on stage. Even British film star Jude Law was a fan!
Football clubs and sports stars still played a big part in the brand’s success, with Gola regularly occupying ad space at many football grounds nationwide.
2000s – Gola Classics and a centenary celebration
The turn of the new millennium saw the creation of the Gola Classics line, drawing on our rich heritage, but with a fashionable twist! The launch of Gola’s first website in 2001 created a touch-point for Gola fans.
With all this newfound success, Gola solidified its status as an iconic heritage brand. Celebrating its centenary in 2005 with limited edition trainers, bags and unique accessories, it’s clear that Gola was here to stay!
2010s to today – Gola celebrates a new era – from football star to fashion icon
With a fashion focus, Gola continued to thrive.
The ‘Made In England’ collection saw some trainer manufacturing return to the UK.
In 2018, Harrier turned 50 and a special limited edition style was launched to celebrate the occasion. Then, in 2023, Elan was relaunched. Another true Gola icon, its return was met with much enthusiasm, seeing it go on to become one of Gola’s standout styles.
Expanding its distribution worldwide, branching out into apparel, and introducing both Vegan and Recycled Materials into the collections in line with its ethical and sustainability efforts, Gola continues to shine as a heritage brand that’s not afraid to innovate.
Celebrating 120 years in 2025, who knows what the future holds for Gola? One thing’s for sure: it certainly looks bright!
Sole Trader: Why is Gola so iconic?
Gola has always been an innovator. Since the inception of those first performance football boots in the early 1900s, our ability to innovate has helped us stay at the forefront of sporting success.
Adapting sporting designs, sponsoring players and athletes and inviting them to collaborate on brand ideas has helped us to develop a real understanding of all things sport. Whether kitting out the feet of World Record-breaking track stars or being the marketing geniuses behind the Roy Of The Rovers campaign, these innovative decisions have solidified Gola as a household name.
Our ability to pivot has also helped to solidify its success. Switching from a football to fashion focus during the nostalgic wave of Britpop in the late ’90s saw global superstars (and their fans) all adopt Gola as their trainer of choice.
With a love of nostalgia and traditional terrace fashion making waves in 2025, Gola is again front and centre of this movement.
Reviving Soleful Classics: The 120 years capsule collection
A special, limited edition capsule collection will mark Gola’s 120th anniversary.
Inspired by our heritage, this collection features a limited-edition Elan trainer, available in two colourways, and a complementing Redford bag.
The Elan trainer, a firm favourite in the men’s and women’s Gola collection, retains its iconic silhouette. With a few updates, each pair is made from a mix of leather and suede and features a raw-edge nylon tongue, terry cloth inner lining, a metallic gold foil logo on the tongue and a debossed 120-year logo on the heel. Each pair is available in black or white and also features corporate sun yellow highlights.
The anniversary Redford bag offers white detailing and antique brass hardware and proudly displays the Gola 120 logo on its front. Complementing the 120 Elan trainers perfectly, the bag is finished with a black recycled PU base. The Redford has been a firm favourite in the Gola collection since its inception in 1974.
This exclusive collection will launch in March 2025, ahead of the 120th anniversary celebrations in May.

With searches on Pinterest for terms such as ‘badminton outfits’ (up 80%) and ‘playing badminton aesthetic’ (up 45%) becoming increasingly popular, it seems that dressing inspired by racquetball sports is here to stay.
At Gola, we’re embracing badminton core this season and our Badminton plimsoll is the perfect addition to your racquet sport-inspired wardrobe. Read on for tips on curating exceptional badminton style with our hints on dressing for the trend and why we believe our Badminton plimsolls are an exceptional choice to complete your look.
Athleisure style has continued to grow over recent years and sport-inspired clothing is becoming increasingly adopted into everyday life. If you’re a lover of a sport or sport-inspired style, embracing the dress code closely associated with your sport is a great way to feel part of a community. This season badminton style is front and centre, so read on to learn more about the aesthetic.
Badminton aesthetic is everyday dressing inspired by styles worn on the court. According to Pinterest Predicts, Gen Z and Millennials are ‘smitten’ with everything badminton, so it’s no surprise that the fashion is filtering into everyday style.
Whilst 2023 saw an influx of Wimbledon-inspired outfits and a rise in sports such as pickleball, the beauty of badminton is that it’s cheap, accessible and can easily be played indoors during inclement British weather.
Because badminton is a simple sport to pick up and play, people of all skill sets can try it out and have fun with friends doing so. With its accessibility to all, it’s no wonder that with the rise of racquet sports, badminton has become the game of choice for fitness, fashion and fun.
Badminton outfits are becoming part of everyday fashion because dressing for the role offers a sense of belonging to the community, even when off the court. Here are our top tips if you’re wondering how to curate badminton-inspired outfits for yourself;
How to curate a badminton outfit
The badminton look can be interpreted however you like, whether you’re drawing inspiration from the professional athletes themselves, you simply want to inject a sportier aesthetic into your everyday style, or you want to channel a vintage-inspired look.
Badminton style for men
For men, badminton style is all about emulating that just stepped-off-the-court feel. Think loose-fitting, breathable T-shirts, sports shorts, white socks and badminton-inspired shoes.
If you want to curate that ‘just off the court look’, choose a bright technical T-shirt and pair it with neutral shorts, or opt for a sleeveless T-shirt for freedom of movement.
To give your look a vintage twist:
Swap out your technical T-shirt for a structured polo shirt.
Choose rich block colours to lean into that classic, vintage style.
For women, badminton style depends on your current aesthetic . If you prefer loose joggers and a fitted top, add a visor and a cute racquet bag and you’re already well on your way to a perfectly curated badminton look that’s stylish on and off the court.
For fans of vintage dressing, take inspiration from retro-inspired tennis dresses and skirts that bridge the gap between the two sports. Pleated skirts are the best option to perfect that Badminton aesthetic. Or, if a tennis skirt isn’t for you, opt for a skort or some stylish shorts.
Sleeveless polo shirts in deep, primary colours help to complete the look, or if you’re feeling brave, opt for tennis, or in this case, badminton whites.
For classic badminton style, our Badminton plimsoll trainer is the perfect choice.
At the height of Gola’s sporting success in the ’70s, the Badminton plimsoll, created for the sport, was a firm favourite. Reimagined with a more fashion-forward focus, the style was reintroduced in 2019. This footwear icon still shares the ’70s style’s silhouette, remaining true to its roots.
Made with a lightweight, flexible gum sole, the Badminton plimsoll trainer oozes retro style and captures the badminton aesthetic beautifully, whether you’re a vintage enthusiast or someone who likes their style with a sporty twist. With a quirky toe guard, it has a distinctive look and oozes heritage charm.
This popular shoe is perfect for everyday dressing, is available for men and women and will sit perfectly in any wardrobe inspired by badminton or other racquet sports.

In the dynamic world of fashion, staying ahead of the curve is key to making a statement with every step. As a heritage brand with a modern twist, Gola has been at the forefront of footwear innovation, blending classic designs with contemporary flair. This season, we’re thrilled to spotlight six captivating women’s trainer trends that are turning heads and setting the tone for stylish strides. From the gym to the streets, these trends reflect the perfect fusion of comfort, performance, and undeniable chic. Join us as we explore the hottest sneakers that every fashion-forward woman needs to add to her collection, courtesy of Gola.
The coloured trainer
Taken the spring/summer ’24 season by storm is the coloured trainer. Sported by the fashion pack and everyday Joe alike, the coloured sneaker has stayed top of our radar. No matter your colour of choice, there’s a shade for everyone. All you need is a staple, classic trainer shape that won’t detract for the statement pop and you’re onto a winner.
Take our Gola Elan trainer. When it comes to heritage sports, we have a tale to tell and Elan’s 1971 roots as a multi-purpose training shoe authentically put this claim into action. An old school gum sole in just the right vintage tone is reminiscent of days in the gym, which perfectly offsets the colour for a real balance of heritage and modernity. The striking colour combinations we have this season, such as this sun yellow with white wingflash.
There’s no wonder it is loved by Sheerluxe. Our alternative colourways and even this sun yellow have had just as much love all over the world. Selling out as quickly as we can get them in, Gola Elan is the hottest women’s trainer of the season.
The chunky trainer
A forever favourite, the chunky trainer is here to stay. Is there anything better than your wide leg denim and a pair of retro-feel, chunky-soled trainers? Say hello to Gola’s Saturn Quadrant. This all-new midsole takes us back to ‘90s aerobics silhouettes and is complemented with an authentic gum outsole. These trainers just have the right amount of colour to make a statement but still go with everything. Coming in a few hot colourways that while are true to SS24, they’re expertly designed by our forward-thinking Gola designers to always be on trend.
Make a rebellious statement with a true fashion edge in Saturn Quadrant this season and beyond. Imagine with striped shirts and denim maxis, there’s endless ways to style a chunky trainer. Cargos and white baby tees will look fresh paired with this energised sneaker, while your can level up a black dress with a retro colour pop.
The sleek sneaker
Upgrade your white trainers with some on-trend colours for an updated take on the look everyone loves. Timeless and elegant, the slim-look of the Gola Torpedo Leather trainers descends from its 1985 Gola back catalogue ancestor. A sister style to our much-loved Tornado style, these Torpedo trainers in a crisp white leather have our signature wingflash branding and a coloured heel tab for a pretty pop of freshness. These are never going to look dated thanks to their white-trainer appeal. Gola handwriting in its genes, the almond shape toe and integrated gum toe bumper, this train is an intrinsic part of the our evolution.
Perfect paired with jeans and an oversized graphic tee, these sleek trainers will equally work with your summer maxi dresses. Heralded by Sheerluxe as our “most versatile design”, you can expect to see Torpedo Leather go international.
The retro trainer
An easy everyday favourite that boasts high style appeal, Gola Hawk is a new addition to the Gola Classics collection. Being both court-sport and heritage-inspired, this sleek silhouette of a sneaker combines leather, suede and mesh for a timeless look that will look fresh season upon season. Giving off a relaxed ‘80s vibe, this stylish Gola trainer is complemented with a two-colour cup sole, coloured wingflash and heel tab, and gold branding accents.
Perfect worn with split hem jeans or your favourite denim midi skirt, these trainers have been popular for their retro feel while keeping a sophisticated, clean and contemporary look.
The fashion trainer
Never knew you needed lilac trainers? We just can’t look back. A modern colourway of a fresh lilac purple contrasted with Santorini blue accents, the Gola Tornado trainer is sweeping in at the speed its name suggests. Bringing a spring climate with the colour but a vintage feel with a terrace, slight-wedge gum sole, the heavy weave nylon upper is complemented with matching suede trims to the toe, heel and lace facing and is contrasted with beautiful blue Gola wingflash side trim with sawtooth edges.
Old skool trainers at their finest, Tornado has been loved by the likes of Sheerluxe and our Gola community for its striking colour.
The metallic trainer
As impactful as its name suggests, Gola’s Superslam Blaze is certainly blazing onto the scene. Cut in a shape not dissimilar to the classic Grandslam Trident, Superslam Blaze is a confident choice for those who love a vibrant metallic sneaker. Continuing to rule Gola’s bestselling list, these gorgeous trainers are the newest incarnation to our collection. With a muted gold upper and complemented with all the right Gola signatures, these metallic sneakers are essential for the fashion-forward.

Metallic pops will stay so make sure to add these dreamy trainers to your wish list. Team with solid shades to make a powerful statement, these will look good in the summer sunshine but also in autumn/winter to brighten up your cosier looks.

White trainers are the perfect addition and building block for any woman’s capsule wardrobe.
Incredibly wearable and versatile, there isn’t an outfit you can’t style a pair of classic white trainers with, whatever the season or event. However, if you’re new to wearing white trainers, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start when pairing them with an outfit.
In this guide, we’re offering our top tips on how to style yours, from how to wear them differently across the seasons to the minor details that can’t be overlooked, such as the best socks to wear them with.
Read on to discover how to wear white trainers for women and get ready to step out in style with Gola!
White trainers for women are such a popular choice because they are classic and timeless. A shoe staple transcending trends, they are perfectly appropriate for any age group and can be styled in various ways with many outfits.
If you’re looking to invest in a single pair of trainers to complement your wardrobe, you may want to think about which style of trainer would be the most practical for you before you even think about styling them with your outfits. For example, if you’re always on the go, a pair of white leather trainers may be the most suitable as they’re easy to keep clean.
To make the best choice, start by assessing your wardrobe to see whether a high-top or a traditional low-cut sneaker would be the best choice for your personal style, whether you’d prefer a patterned or plain look and which material or finish will work most practically in your capsule wardrobe.
Then, you can start styling your looks for the season ahead, using your white trainers as a central hero piece.
1 How to style white trainers with dresses and skirts
Trainers are an increasingly popular pairing to dresses and skirts and can help to make a look that may otherwise be formal take on a much more casual feel.
A light day dress in summer looks perfect when paired with white trainers and other accessories, such as a denim jacket, another essential summer wardrobe staple. Finish with an oversized shoulder bag and some jewellery for the ideal outfit for hitting the shops or meeting friends for coffee. Our Gola Classics Women’s Grandslam Leather Trainers style perfectly with summer dresses adding a cool edge to your completed ensemble.
However, it’s not only summer that allows you to pair your white trainers with dresses and skirts. When the weather starts to change, a longer-length dress or skirt can look just as chic. Simply swap out the denim jacket for a leather one and choose a stylish long-sleeved T-shirt or cosy knit to pair with your skirt or layer over your dress to complete the look. A cosy scarf helps you to add that perfect finishing touch.
Or, if you want to wear a mini or midi-length skirt or dress in the colder months, simply layer a long coat or cardigan over your outfit.
2 How to style white trainers with shorts for summer
If there were ever a shoe built for summer styling, it would be white trainers. Not only do they complement a whole host of dress and skirt lengths, but they also look exceptional when styled with shorts.
Shorts and white trainers are an essential pairing, whether you’re heading abroad or simply planning to enjoy the sun at home .
If you prefer plain shorts such as a classic blue denim pair or a tailored style, choose a patterned T-shirt to add another level to your look. Or, if you prefer timeless style, a Breton T-shirt can look particularly chic.
Complete the look with some classic Gola Strap Trainers in white. You could even base your outfit colours around the wingflash colour or pattern featured on your trainer.
Irrespective of the season, white trainers and jeans are a match made in heaven.
White trainers go with any shade of denim, so whether you prefer skinny black jeans or flared ripped blue denim, you’re guaranteed style points with this look.
If you work in a modern office, a pair of fitted jeans styled with a classic button-down shirt can look smart without appearing overly formal. Layering an oversized knit jumper over your shirt in the cooler months will offer added style points. Our Gola Classics Women’s Tennis Mark Cox Trainers are the classic pick we’d recommend to nail this look. Suit pants look just as effective styled in this way for the days when you want a break from your jeans.
Similarly, a T-shirt paired with skinny jeans and white trainers provides a perfectly chic summer outfit, which you can layer a blazer over once that autumn breeze takes hold.
If you’re trying on the oversized or flared jeans trend, white trainers can be a great choice and prevent you from falling and tripping like you could if you pair the look with heels or boots. If you’re small in height, choose a trainer with extra height to its sole to balance out the width of the look, such as our Vegan Gola Classics Women’s Coaster Peak High Trainers and reserve them exclusively for your flared-jean days.
Although white trainers work with any jeans type, consider the length of your jeans against the ankle height of your trainers to ensure a winning look. For example, if you’re wearing cuffed boyfriend jeans, high-tops work well, whereas low-tops could create the illusion of a shortened figure if too much of the ankle can be seen. Denim jean shorts, however, pair with all trainer types and heights.
4 How to wear trainers with leather-look leggings
Both leather and faux-leather leggings are popular choices for day dressing and evenings out, and luckily, white trainers can look just as stylish when paired with them as they do anything else in your wardrobe.
Taking an otherwise formal look and making it more wearable and casual when paired with your white trainers, your leather-look leggings will look as stylish at work as when browsing the shops with friends.
For occasions that require it, opt for a more formal top if you’re swapping out heels for white trainers. However, for stylish off-duty days, pair your leggings with a fitted T-shirt and an oversized cardigan or button-down to add a casual feel to your look. Why not choose our Gola Classics Women’s Eclipse Trident Trainers for a fashion-forward finish?
Do you have to wear white socks with white trainers?
So, now you know how to style your most popular wardrobe pieces with your white trainers; it’s important to get your socks right so as not to take attention away from your look. And while you might think that white socks are the best pairing to your new favourite shoes, this isn’t necessary.
Irrespective of trainer style, most pair three main types of socks with their trainers. These are no show socks, perfect for low tops and plimsolls when you want to give the illusion of no socks at all, ankle socks that finish just about the ankle, and regular crew socks that finish part way up the calf.
The style of socks and the colour you choose ultimately depends on personal preference. For example, if you want to make a statement with your socks, ankle or crew socks in bright or patterned designs might be the best choice for you, whereas no-show socks or ankle socks in classic colours are more suitable if you’re going for a smart or classic look.
White crew socks can look great with sportier styles or running trainers, especially when paired with athleisure and loungewear looks.

White trainers are the perfect choice if there’s only room for one pair of trainers in your wardrobe. Classic and versatile, they provide many dressing options and can add a sophisticated, sharp finish and an approachable edge to even the most formal looks.
Whilst black and brown trainers are often seen as a more formal choice, and patterned designs are a loud focal point that helps to show off your personality, white trainers are timeless and wearable, whatever the occasion! But what clothes go with white shoes?
In this guide, we’re offering our top tips on wearing white trainers for men, so when you invest in a pair, you’ll have an abundance of go-to dressing options. We’ve even considered what colour socks to wear with white trainers to ensure that even the smallest details don’t affect your desired aesthetic.
Have you ever wondered what to wear with white trainers? Today, men’s fashion editorials are filled with stylish outfits that are rounded off with a classic pair of white trainers; the good news is, they pretty much go with anything.
Whether you’re looking to add a casual finish to a formal suit or want some trainers to pair with your chinos for the office, white trainers are an ideal option. The key to nailing the look is to choose a minimalist style and to keep your trainers immaculately clean, wear after wear.
Here are our top five ways to style your white trainers:
1 Chinos
Chinos are a popular style piece in most modern men’s wardrobes. They’re also great for off-duty days and office wear, when dress trousers may seem too formal.
When pairing chinos with white trainers, the styling possibilities are endless. For the best looks, choose chinos that naturally taper towards the ankle and come in neutral shades such as navy, black or grey. Your trainers should be minimalist, so choose a style like our Gola Classic Men’s Grandslam Leather Trainers for a chic, crisp finish.
If you want a smart, modern look for the office, style your chinos and white trainers with a button-down shirt and a light sweatshirt, or for a smart off-duty look, a tailored polo shirt can be just as stylish.
Or, opt for a long or short sleeve T-shirt in a plain colour, put together with your chinos and your white trainers and complete the look with a stylish accessory, such as a wristwatch, to add some sophistication to your otherwise smart casual look.
2 Shorts
If you’re looking for a way to carry your style into the summer season, it’s fine to pair your white trainers with shorts.
Keep it simple by choosing neutral shorts and pairing them with a basic T-shirt in a classic shade or a light-knit polo to add a smarter finish to your outfit.
For best results, opt for chino-style shorts that sit just above the knee, and pair them with white canvas trainers, such as our Vegan Gola Classics Men’s Comet Plimsoll Trainers and no-show socks.
Want to add a jacket to your look? Choose a casual suede bomber or a relaxed, open button-down shirt for ultimate style points.
3 A suit
A style once reserved for the most daring of dressers, pairing a suit with white trainers is becoming a more popular option for even the most sophisticated gentlemen. However, some style codes relating to fit and how you tie the look together need to be met for this look to work.
First, your suit of choice should be tailored to fit you flawlessly. Much like the chinos example, trousers slightly tapered towards the hem are a great style choice. Then when finishing the look, choose a casual T-shirt or Breton striped top to prevent your outfit from becoming too formal or stuffy.
This style choice works best with a shirt in a neutral shade and when things are kept casual. A good quality fitted T-shirt or a stylish, lightweight wool jumper can provide a perfect finishing touch.
Every man’s wardrobe usually contains an assortment of jeans in various fits and shades, and the good news is that white trainers go well with them all! Whether classic, distressed or ripped, curating many looks around this perfect pairing is easy.
When choosing a matching top, be as classic or casual as you like. Basics such as hoodies or bomber jackets can look great, creating an essential off-duty outfit that wouldn’t look out of place in a coffee shop or at the football. Or, if you love skinny jeans, why not roll the hem to show a little ankle and finish your outfit with a fitted T-shirt in a single shade?
Our Gola Made in England – 1905 Men’s Harrier Elite Trainers wouldn’t be out of place here. Cut from the finest leather to a classic silhouette, they’re a timeless design that pairs perfectly with various jean styles – just be mindful of colour transfer from your jeans to their off-white, buttery leather.
5 Sportswear
Athleisure, or the trend of wearing sports clothes for fashion, has become increasingly popular in recent years and is another great way to wear white trainers. Whether running errands or travelling, adding stylish white trainers to your outfit can transform your loungewear into a premium look.
To curate this style effectively, choose fitted joggers that taper downwards into a cuff or hem that wraps around the ankle. Go for looser layers on top, such as a relaxed polo shirt or a T-shirt in an oversized cut for balance.
Gola Classics Men’s Hawk Leather Trainers offer heritage styling and evoke a vintage Varsity-style aesthetic, making them the perfect pairing to this laidback look.
What colour socks go with white trainers?
The sock colour that works best with your white trainers largely depends on your outfit, so it’s not always as simple as pairing white socks and shoes. Alongside the colour, you might also want to consider the length and style of socks you choose.
When choosing a colour, consider your outfit carefully. Do you want your socks to be a statement part of your outfit, or do you want them to blend seamlessly into the background? White trainers go with any colour, so in this case, the colour of your outfit will be the determining factor.
With a suit, unless your socks are loud on purpose, choose a neutral colour that pairs well with your suit trousers, such as grey or black with a grey suit, or navy with a navy. Whereas with shorts, unless you’re trying to make a statement, ankle or no-show socks are the best choice for keeping your outfit stylish and classic. Mid-calf socks are also ideal for sportier looks or layering under jeans.
Classic black socks in a mid-calf length go with most outfits and allow your trainers to take centre stage without drawing attention away from them.
For a fun and playful twist, why not use colourful striped socks to bridge the gap between your white trainers and jeans for a statement finish?
Now you know how to style white trainers seamlessly, why not shop for your perfect pair at Gola? From plimsolls to our Heritage styles, you’ll surely find your missing wardrobe piece when you shop the collection today, including vegan styles.

They can also be paired with smart and casual clothing, so you can wear them for various occasions. If you’re attending an event and want to stay comfortable, your white trainers can be dressed up with a floaty midi dress or skirt in bright colours or floral patterns to make your outfit pop.
White trainers can also be dressed to create a more laid-back look, ideal for running errands or other daytime tasks. Style them with comfortable jeans or leggings with an oversized T-shirt or sweater for the ultimate casual look. You can also experiment with accessories to put your own twist on your daytime outfits.
At Gola, we host a stunning selection of classic trainer styles, from those that contrast Gola’s heritage styling with contemporary fashion to popular vegan designs for every occasion. Many of our white trainers also feature coloured wingflashes or contrasting soles, perfect for adding a bright dash of colour to your outfits.
A high-quality pair of white trainers will never go out of style if you wear them well. They are wonderfully versatile and can be adapted to suit the latest trends. If you don’t have a pair in your wardrobe, this is your sign to treat yourself to your next fashion staple.
You can also wear white trainers during any season, as their neutral tones will complement everything from muted shades such as grey and beige to bright, bold colours, including yellow, pink and green. This means you can experiment with colour without worrying whether your shoes match your outfit.
Many forgo wearing white shoes because they believe they will get dirty easily. However, if you clean your shoes regularly and care for them properly you can maintain that box fresh look. Using high-quality shoe care products suitable for the material of your trainers will allow you to provide them with long-lasting protection.
