I t’s the question I am asked by women of every age: what sort of trainers should I be wearing now? This spring I’m grateful it’s not an esoteric hiking or clompy “dad” style that I have to sell you on. Nope, the right sneaks right now can be (almost) any shape — as long as they aren’t plain white. “Oh no,” you cry, “not this again.
” I know, I know. You want us to leave your faithful white trainers alone. Fashion editors have been heralding the death of your favourite lace-ups for a few years — now, I am pleased to report that there is hard data to back up our proclamations.
It appears it’s not just the style set who are no longer buying.
