Up your (trainer) game

Here at 4-Decades, us middle aged men really like a sporty trainer for fashion AND working out. Now listen, NO LISTEN ! – we don’t want those sneakers that look like you’ve just come out of a nightclub with Stormzy and Kim Kardashian!.

Fashion trends can vary over time, but here’s three types of fashion trainers that suit among middle-aged men.

Classic White Sneakers: Timeless and versatile, a pair of clean and simple white sneakers can effortlessly complement a variety of outfits. They can be paired with jeans, chinos, or even casual suits, offering a clean and sophisticated look. Brands like Adidas Stan Smith, Common Projects, and Veja have been known for their popular white sneaker designs. We really recommend Asos for a great deal on trainers.

 A middle-priced option for fashionable sneakers for middle-aged men is the Cole Haan GrandPro Tennis Sneaker. Cole Haan is known for combining comfort, quality, and style in their footwear.

The GrandPro Tennis Sneaker offers a classic design with a modern twist. It features a sleek leather or suede upper with minimalist detailing, making it versatile enough to pair with various outfits, from casual to smart-casual. The sneaker is designed for comfort, often incorporating cushioning and lightweight materials that are suitable for extended wear.

 Minimalist Low-Top Sneakers: Low-top sneakers with minimalist designs offer a refined and understated look. These sneakers often have subtle branding, clean lines, and a sleek silhouette. They can be worn with both casual and slightly more formal outfits. Common Projects, Axel Arigato, and Greats are examples of brands that offer stylish minimalist sneaker options. We’re big fans of Selfridge’s (who isn’t) so have a look at their other stuff as well.

 Remember that personal style varies, so it's important to choose sneakers that align with your own preferences and fashion sense. Additionally, consider the comfort and fit of the sneakers, as they are essential for everyday wear.

So, there’s some new brands you may not have considered before in here, remember it’s YOUR style so be bold, comfy , but, as Madonna says, Express yourself!
