This autumn, there are so many exciting new trends to try, from tomato red everything to the resurgence of the wide-legged culotte. But if you’re anything like us, you don’t want your love of fashion to get in the way of comfort – after all, nothing kills confidence more than a gnarly blister.
That’s why we’re all about embracing the trainer. Instead of making excuses, we’re using them to level up our styling. Our starting point? The latest arrivals from Skechers, which blend nostalgic designs with clever comfort tech that makes pounding the pavements feel like a dream.
Below, we show you our top tips on how to style trainers and three flawless outfit combos, spanning from good ol’ jeans to a sleek midi dress.
Trainers and culottes
Culottes – wide-legged, ever-so-slightly cropped trousers – have been taking over group chats and IG feeds since Copenhagen Fashion Week. We recommend styling with a sporty evolution of the blokette trend, by pulling on a zip-up track jacket over a striped or checked classic shirt. Scrape that hair back into a high ponytail or a bun, pair with some hoops and you are good to go!
On your feet, opt for a sneaker like the Skechers D’Lites. Not only does smooth leather and a metallic upper give the sporty lace-up a futuristic feel, but it boasts an Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole which provides pressure relief, instant comfort, and breathability. Too good!

Trainers and dresses
This combo is having a moment again, but we’re channeling it in a way that’s less indie sleaze and more “poised and I’ve got my life together” –yep, ideal for visiting your parents and convincing them you’re on top of things.
Think: a dark, high-neck midi dress in a form-fitting fabric like jersey, a pair of 90s style minimal sunglasses, a voluminous leather clutch and a pair of sporty on-trend trainers for an interesting contrast.
Rn, we’re loving the Skechers Slip-ins: Stamina Sport. This white, pink, and silver trainer taps into the wider embrace of gorpy, performance styles and with Slip-ins technology, offers next-level comfort for busy women. No bending down here—just step in and go.

Trainers and jeans
Yes, it’s a classic – but here’s how you can level the combo up for a stunning autumn ‘fit. Rather than going for the “I just woke up like this” look, you can go for a more polished and curated aesthetic with a pair of dark wash, wide-legged jeans (the stiffer the denim, the better), a white and navy breton striped top, and a simple knitted cardigan with a collar (very Miu Miu).
When it comes to your trainers, have a little fun with it! We’re obsessed with this pair of Skechers Sport Court 2.0 in Much Metallic. Durable, in a high-shine silver colourway, it adds an unexpected pop to an outfit. This style also comes with Air-Cooled Memory Foam® — so say goodbye to stinky feet.
