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!

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.
