subject: Show Off Your Style This Summer With The Right Footwear [print this page] . Never is that choice more difficult than in summer, the season where we all let loose and really show off our style. This handy guide to trainer types will give you all the information you need to make the right fashion choices and avoid any footwear faux-pas this summer.
The popular choice
While they may be common sights in summer, there is no doubting the enduring popularity of trainers. By offering a plethora of designs and styles combined with the ability to be worn for any occasion not only make trainers a great choice but also a cheaper option. Available in almost any price range and colour, they offer the ultimate in fashion footwear flexibility. They are the true all-rounder of the shoe world and while they may not be the ultimate in high fashion, they are in the highest league for comfort. So sticking with trainers might be the obvious choice but there is a reason so many do.
The retro choice
Its time to revisit the past and drag an eighties classic back to the fore; if you want to make a bold statement this summer then high tops are the shoes for you. With a striking design and retro features, you will definitely stand out from the crowd and show off your own, unique style. Originally designed as athletics shoes that extend above the ankle in order to give a tight grip for sports like basketball, high tops are increasingly being reclaimed as fashion footwear. This choice will be certain to get all the right stares this summer and no doubt leave you with some very jealous friends.
The cool choice
They may be both retro and exceptionally popular but there is simply no need for an introduction when it comes to plimsolls. They may be from the 30s (the 1830s that is) but these classics in shoe design bear little resemblance to their original look, now ultra-modern and stylish, the plimsoll is the ultimate in cool footwear. Being the cool choice is not the only benefit to these brilliant shoes; they are feather light, breathable and very affordable. With a range of styles, colours and designs rivalled only by the traditional trainer, you cannot make a better choice this summer. No matter what they are worn with, these shoes cannot help but look cool.
