What colour socks should you wear with white trainers?

Posted by SOCKSHOP

Is your sock game slacking? You’ll probably be no stranger to spending time looking in the mirror pairing the right trainer to your outfit, but you may not spend much time thinking about which sock to wear with your trainers! Don’t let the simple sock be an afterthought because it could make or break your outfit and take that 9/10 outfit to a 10/10… Here is our guide to what colour sock to wear with white trainers.

What colour sock to wear with trainers and why…

What is a picture without the frame it’s in? Well, socks should be considered as the item that frames your favourite pair of trainers! But colour and style is all dependent on your shoe choice. For instance, your  colour choice of socks with white trainers may be completely different to what you’d wear with colourful trainers.

There may be many reasons for wearing trainers such as exercise, day to day wear, or even date night. It’s important to think about the purpose and how you want to stand out when picking your socks. You may want to consider things such as material, colour, and length. To get you inspired here are some of our favourite trainer sock combos!

Make a statement

A simple outfit doesn’t always mean a simple sock. In fact, this is your chance to have some fun and get a little creative with your footwear option. So why not try a bold print with some personality? From polka dot to animal print, we have a style to bring your outfit to life. 

Take inspiration from one of our favourite trainers and sock combos from @lana_chaos - answering the age old question “what colour socks to wear with white trainers?” She effortlessly matches her statement sock to her accessories and brings an otherwise neutral tone outfit to life.

  • Dark trainers with red socks –Pairing with a dark trainer gives a surprising and vibrant element to an outfit and could be a perfect option for a night out look. 

  • Light trainers with red socks –Take inspiration from @hanbritland and style a red sock to a light comfortable trainer and blue jeans for a casual and sleek look that will elevate and bring any outfit on trend.

Layering tones could be a perfect way to make you stand out! Using different shades of the same colour can create a dramatic statement and channel a modern style.

But be careful of the ‘booty effect’! This is where your socks blend to the shoe and create an ankle boot like style, this is often caused by black on black.

Take some inspiration from @kwadwobenko who perfectly uses different shades of the same colour to create an interesting look that makes your favourite trainer become the statement.

It may seem like a simple choice, but this neutral style can’t steer you wrong. So if you have that panic about what colour socks go with white trainers, or black trainers: DON’T WORRY! We have you covered.

Take inspiration from @aloiserita who combines white socks and trainers beautifully, her style is immediately elevated and looks almost effortless.
