5 JUST-DROPPED TRAINERS FOR EVERY SUMMER OUTFIT

New Balance 880 trainers in light grey, £120

For those mornings when you’ve got only five minutes to decide what to wear, reach for the New Balance 880. It's an instant hero shoe. The light-grey palette will complete almost any outfit, and they tick all the boxes for chunkier dad trainers that are a rotation mainstay. Plus, a cushioned midsole and durable rubber outsole make it a strong choice for days involving lots of steps. Style yours with wide-leg trousers and a boxy tee, or add a relaxed shirt when the dress code needs a slight upgrade.

Nike Moon Shoe trainers in brown and white, £89.99

Introducing the trainer that started it all – or a modern version of it, at least. The Nike Moon Shoe takes its cues from one of the brand’s earliest running silhouettes, complete with a slim profile, nylon upper and the iconic Waffle sole pioneered back in the 70s. This brown-and-white colourway makes the history lesson particularly easy to wear. Add straight-leg jeans, a relaxed graphic tee and some retro sunglasses for an outfit that errs on the side of vintage – take this look to the pub and beyond.

Salomon XA PRO 3D trainers in silver sage and bistro green, £140

Planning an actual hike? Great. Mostly navigating train platforms, parks and pub gardens? Also fine. These Salomon trainers combine their trail running roots with a silver sage and green colourway that deserves to be seen beyond the countryside. Its Quicklace fastening lets you get out the door quickly, while the grippy outsole is built to handle wet terrain (useful when the British summer inevitably does what it does best). Complete the gorpcore look with technical shorts, a lightweight overshirt and a cross-body bag.

adidas performance Adizero EVO SL EXO suede trainers in beige and brown, £130

Performance trainers have officially escaped the running track, and the adidas Adizero EVO SL EXO makes a convincing case for wearing them everywhere else. The streamlined silhouette is fitted with an EXOSKELETON support system and lightweight cushioning, balancing its technical credentials with an earthy beige-and-brown finish. Unless you’re actually chasing a PB, pair them with longline nylon shorts, an oversized football jersey and wraparound sunglasses.

adidas Originals Adistar Control 5 trainers in off white and burgundy, £90

With the temperatures getting hotter, you can reasonably expect to turn to jorts when building your summer outfits. adidas Originals’ Adistar Control 5 is our recommended accompanying pair of trainers. Another classic from the adidas Originals 00s archive, it was debuted in 2008 and returned last year for another round. The style was originally marketed as a running shoe, so it’s comfy enough for long days at work, on holidays, or doing general life admin. Plus, the burgundy accents on this pair will offset denim nicely.
