Seasonal Guides

A reliable pair of everyday trainers is one of the easiest additions you can make to your autumn wardrobe.

Look for a style that's comfortable enough to wear throughout the day and versatile enough to work with different outfits.

Neutral colours are particularly useful during autumn. Black, grey, navy, cream and white trainers can be paired easily with joggers, jeans, leggings and tracksuits.

Try pairing yours with:

Joggers and a hoodie for an easy everyday outfit
Jeans and a sweatshirt for a casual weekend look
Leggings, an oversized hoodie and trainers for comfort on the go
Track pants and a lightweight jacket for a sporty autumn outfit


A versatile pair means less time thinking about what shoes to wear and more time getting on with your day.

If there's one trainer colour that's particularly easy to wear during the colder months, it's black.

Black trainers work with almost every casual outfit and are a practical choice when autumn brings wetter pavements, muddy paths and unpredictable weather.

They also transition easily from sportswear to everyday outfits.

Pair black trainers with black joggers and a contrasting sweatshirt for a simple monochrome look, or wear them with jeans and a padded jacket when the temperature starts to drop.

If you're looking for one pair to get plenty of wear from this season, black is difficult to beat.

Autumn is one of the best times of year to get outside.

Whether it's a weekend park walk, a day exploring somewhere new or simply getting your daily steps in, comfortable footwear makes all the difference.

For everyday walking, look for trainers with:

Comfortable cushioning
A supportive fit
A secure sole
Enough room for your feet to move naturally
A style you can comfortably wear for several hours


Team them with joggers, leggings or track pants and add a sweatshirt or jacket for an easy autumn walking outfit.

Remember that standard lifestyle trainers aren't necessarily designed for muddy trails or difficult terrain. If you're heading somewhere more challenging, choose footwear specifically suited to the conditions.

Autumn often feels like a fresh start.

Summer holidays are over, routines return and suddenly getting back into the gym feels a little easier.

If your current gym trainers have seen better days, the start of a new season could be a good time to check them.

The best gym footwear depends on the workouts you're doing. General training, running and weightlifting can all place different demands on your shoes, so don't automatically assume one pair will be perfect for everything.

For general workouts, prioritise comfort, stability and freedom of movement.

Pair your trainers with shorts or leggings, a breathable training top and a hoodie for travelling to and from the gym.
