5 Chic Skirt and Trainers Outfits to Copy This Summer, According to a Fashion Editor

As someone who’s always favoured flats over heels, I couldn’t be happier that trainers have, over the past few years, firmly earned their place as a capsule wardrobe classic. Once reserved solely for the gym, they’ve become a style staple in their own right—thanks to their comfort, versatility and the endless array of colourways and silhouettes available.

On days when practicality is the priority (which, let’s be honest, is most of the time), I instinctively reach for my go-to pair. And I’ll admit—my collection has been steadily growing as I continue to discover new styles and shades I love. Just this week I invested in a new pair in fact. And while I know they’ll work hard for me come autumn and all throughout winter, with a heatwave currently sweeping through London, I’ve found myself facing a styling dilemma.
