23 Best Fashion Trainers For Women That Will Define 2025
Nothing can signal a sartorial vibe shift like a trainer can. We share the how and why on the best trainers to buy this season.
Trainers are singular in the style space for their ability to change the vibe of an outfit before you’ve even fastened the laces, or placed the strap if you look at the latest fastening trends. Combining comfort and hypebeast credentials, pairs from Nike to Adidas, Balenciaga to Bottega Veneta can bring a whole new vibe and energy to even the most tried-and-tested outfit combinations.
The Best Trainers For 2025 - ELLE′s Top 5
This season, the fashion set is shaking things up when it comes to must-have trainers, choosing styles that are not only retro in feel but bring into focus quirky colour palettes. Think outside of the box in pairs that prove chunky, even clunky, but speak of knowing sneaker knowledge. True active styles are the new wear-everywhere option. Chopova Lowena's Asics collaboration is case in point. And so too is French fashion house Patou's hyper-feminine reinterpretation of Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico favourite. There's four variations to choose from, with each more covetable to the last.
As a fashion editor, I think the best trainers to buy this season make up a metallic colour palette. Trainers in gold, silver and bronze are must-haves, bringing gentle polish to any ensemble. New Balance and Ganni's collaboration is a must-have for nailing this. Trainers in these shining shades work with all manner of outfits to become a new kind of neutral.
Of course, if there's one trainer trend that we know is set to endure it's the global intrigue and investment in Grace Wales Bonner's Adidas collaboration. The latest collection sees Adidas Gazelles rendered in a navy croc and the return of Adidas Superstars — who'd have thought? But we're totally convinced. Scroll down fast here to get the style you're wanting most. Good luck!
Here are the 23 best trainer and sneaker options to add to your wardrobe right now.
