They perfectly tick the retro vibe that's so high on the list of trainer trends 2025.

We love the light tan colour of this pair and the could-be-designer detailing adds a smarter spin to the casual style. They are available in a soft lilac shade too.
These leather pumps have been hugely popular this season and show no sign of slowing down in the style stakes. Use them to finish your jeans and trench coat ensembles long into autumn.
With a price difference of a whopping £330, these trainers are a no-brainer if you ask me. The suede might not be quite as buttery soft, but you certainly won't be as worried about whether it might rain when you step out of the house!
