Preview AW17: Trainers Not Only for the Gym

It is official, now trainers are not relegated anymore to the gym or physical activities. They are so comfortable and the styles are so gorgeous that they are part of our outfits. A nice and glam trainer now can be even be accepted at work or in a club. I've picked a few, so you can see different styles from the basic one to the more elaborated.

*In Store* Glitter and leopard print, two of this season's trends are summarised on this pair of plimsolls by F&F at Tesco. Leopard print body and glitter toecap with nice, big chunky ribbon laces. Have them before they are gone. www.tesco.com/direct

*In Store* Embroidery is still a strong trend this season and Cath Kidston has put some flowers on its trainers. Made of a leather like material, they are white with white laces and with little coloured flowers embroidered on them.  www.cathkidston.com

*In Store*  I like these two pairs of Gola Classic Specialist Geo trainers. Gola is guarantee of knowledge in the sport world with regards to footwear. The beautiful geometric gold  decor is printed on black or charcoal suede upper with matching grey or black laces. www.gola.co.uk

*In Store*  The style is trainers all the way but reinterpreted using beautiful velvet and ribbon like laces for the Ayda  by Jigsaw. Available in Dusky Pink like the ones in the picture or Blue, Grey or Burgundy. Be comfortable and smart at the same time. www.jigsaw-online.com

*In Store*  It is very Chanelesque the style for these Orla KG Kurt Geiger trainers. The blue ones are in tweed with three metal bars and gold pearls at the ends, while the black ones are in leather with pearl like ends on the metal bars fastening. www.kurtgeiger.com

*In Store*  These matching trainers and clutch bag show how the humble trainers have become something to be worn for a night out. These velvet trainers are by Marc Cain , with a quilted finish and beads applied on them. The lining is in leather. The bag is still not available in black but the same style is up for grab in dark blue. www.marc-cain.com

*In Store Online Exclusive*  This is a purchase that you can only make at home but then you can choose to collect in store for these Pom Pom Trainers by M&S Collection for Marks & Spencer. They are made of fabric with the Insolia Flex inside for better comfort while walking with flat shoes. Available in grey and nude from size 3 to size 8. www.marksandspencer.com

*In Store* Now trainers are embellished not only with embroideries but also with crystals applied on the upper. These Velvet Diamante Trainers are by Matalan, in a rich and dark navy colour with a crystal composition on the toe for added glam. www.matalan.co.uk

*In Store*  I love the glam of these glittered trainers by New Look.  With its white sole and black laces contrasting the upper, this pair of trainers will be a everyday and every night wear, great for work or for a night out without suffering in high heels. www.newlook.com

*Not Yet*  Just looking at them you know that these trainers by River Island are going to be comfortable. They are not available yet but check the website and the store to know when they will land on the shelves because they will be a best seller. www.riverisland.com

*In Store*  These are seriously luxury trainers. The Moodboard by Russell & Bromley are made of soft nappa leather and metallic patches, made in Italy and super comfortable. Add a bit of a twist to a pair of black trousers. www.russellandbromley.co.uk

*In Store* Look at these beauties, they are by Longchamp and they take going to the gym to another level. The Pliage Cuir Etoiles ones pictured at the centre and the  right hand side are made of suede and leather with a metallic leather star and details. Colours available are black, purple and coral. The Paris Rocks in patent leather mixes the trainers style with a brogue. www.uk.longchamp.com
