Styling neutral trainers: Casual daytime looks
If you’re wondering how to style trainers for your daytime looks , choose clean and classic outfits and tuck in your T-shirt for ultimate style points. Here are our favourite go to looks;
How to style trainers with jeans
If you’re a fan of minimalistic styling, jeans and a fitted plain white T-shirt are the perfect outfit to pair with your neutral trainers.
White trainers are a style staple, pairing perfectly with the T-shirt for a fresh look that works every time, whatever the season.
Do you want to add a pop of colour? Switch out your white T-shirt for a colourful option, pairing the shade with the Wingflash on your Gola trainers. It’s a great way to draw attention to your otherwise neutral trainers and balance out your look.
Finally, for a different twist, pair your look with white high-top trainers and turn up your jeans for a street-style inspired finish. Our Gola Classic Women’s Slam Trident Trainers are the perfect choice to help you achieve this look.
How to style trainers with dresses
If you’re more of a dress wearer, then a floaty floral dress is a great look for pairing with neutral trainers. Be daring with your print choice and opt for bold, bright colours; your neutral trainers will balance out the look.
Alternatively, pair a little black fitted dress with white trainers for a stylish monochrome look.
How to nail the athleisure look
Finally, if comfort is on your mind, an athleisure look could be the perfect pairing to your neutral trainers. Lean into the sporty element of your trainers, pairing yours with leggings and a stylish cropped hoodie. Our Gola Performance Women’s Typhoon RMD Trainers are the ideal choice for effortlessly styling this look, taking you straight from your morning jog to the coffee shop for post-run refreshments.
Styling neutral trainers as workwear
In recent years, office and work wear has seamlessly switched from formal business dress to classic smart casual wear, and neutral trainers are the perfect style pick to accompany the look. Due to their subtle and stylish look, neutral trainers look just as put-together as formal shoes but make the commute much more comfortable and enjoyable and make it easier to spend multiple hours on your feet. Here’s how we recommend styling neutral trainers with your workwear outfits:
How to style neutral trainers with a suit
Gola Classics Women’s Medallist Leather Trainers
Slim trousers and a tailored blazer are a classic workwear look, so swap your heels for neutral trainers, such as our Gola Classics Women’s Elan Trainers in white with stylish navy and pink detailing. We recommend pairing them with a navy or pink suit to make the accents of your trainers pop and to help breathe life into workwear.
Or, why not go for an all out colour match and pair your stylish suit with your Wingflash?
How to style trainers with a skirt
One of the hardest style pairings to pull off, putting trainers with a skirt can work, as long as you choose the correct length. Our favourite look is a classic button-down shirt with a midi skirt, finished with trainers to soften up what would be an otherwise formal outfit.
Styling neutral trainers for nights out
Gone are the days when heels were a necessity for nights out.
Nowadays, neutral trainers are just as acceptable in a fancy restaurant or cocktail bar as most other formal footwear options. However, styling your evening looks with trainers can be difficult and make your outfits appear a little too casual if not executed correctly.
Dressing up trainers for an evening out relies heavily on the right accessories to complete the look.
Here are our favourite ways to style trainers for a night on the town:
- Don’t be frightened to choose a glamorous dress, using your trainers to balance out the ensemble. A slip or bodycon dress and a leather jacket with trainers is perfect for an edgy yet feminine look. Trainers with metallic highlights like our Gola Classics Women’s Falcon Mirror Trainers are a great choice for helping you to tie this look together.
- Jeans that you would ordinarily wear with ankle boots and a more glam top can also look great teamed with neutral trainers when you hit the town.
- Complete the look with statement accessories, such as bold jewellery or your favourite arm candy.

How to style black trainers
Much like white trainers, black trainers such as our Gola Classics Women’s Viper Trainers in black and white are incredibly versatile. For a super sleek and stylish finish, pair yours with black jeans and a black leather jacket for instant style points. Black also pairs well with white for a chic, monochrome effect.
If an all-black outfit feels too serious, add a bright sweater or T-shirt to create a contrasting colour pop!
How to style beige trainers
Gola Classics Women’s Elan Trainers
Beige or ecru trainers are a stylish alternative to classic white or black trainers and pair really well with colours such as pink, turquoise, green and rich autumnal shades such as burnt orange and khaki. If you love a warm colour palette, then beige trainers could be the perfect choice for you! Worried about styling them with your everyday basics? Don’t fret; ecru trainers look amazing when paired with blue denim!
How to style high-top trainers
Although you might not think it, high-top trainers are incredibly versatile and can be paired successfully with as many looks as low-tops. Looking particularly good with shorts and skirts in the summer, one of our favourite ways to style high-top trainers is with a trouser suit, putting a contemporary spin on a classic look for the office. Our Gola Women’s Coaster High Trainers are essential for those who want many versatile dressing options from their trainers.
