Smart trainers are the shoe that bridges a smart-casual wardrobe: clean enough for chinos, tailored trousers and an overcoat, relaxed enough for jeans at the weekend. WARDLEY's smart trainers keep to low profiles, quiet colours and minimal stitching.
The edit
- Eaton suede trainer: a low-profile cow-suede trainer on a clean white sole, in Stone and Black. The one to wear with a camel coat.
- Belsize suede gum-sole trainer: suede on a gum sole for a warmer, more casual finish with denim and knitwear.
- Hackney retro leather trainers: a cowhide leather upper with a contrast suede toe and a slim, low shape.
How to wear smart trainers
Pair them with chinos, pleated trousers or straight-leg jeans, and keep the trouser hem clean with little or no break. A knitted polo or a crew-neck jumper on top keeps the look smart. For colder days, finish with an overcoat.
Fit and care
Check the sizing notes on each product page: the Hackney runs slightly narrow. Brush suede with a suede brush and protect it before first wear; wipe leather with a damp cloth.
