Contrary to the truly dismal sprinklings of “summer” that we usually have to put up with on these shores, this year’s season of sun was admittedly just that. A prolonged, uninterrupted period of picturesque summer. It was epic. So much so that we’re almost still feeling the effects this deep into the year! (No seriously, we’re still getting sunny spells in mid-November!)

A shared appreciation for the subtle elegance that a well-kept pair of white sneakers can bring to your wardrobe is one that’s really manifested in more recent years. The notion that trainers are only really appropriate for lazy sunday outfit ensembles, suited more for a melancholy stroll to the corner shop than anything else, is a notion that forward-thinking fashion connoisseurs are beginning to abandon. From runway shows, to celebrity red carpets, the increasingly versatile white trainer continues to increase its profile in the fashion universe.
When arranged with care and an eye for detail, your summer wardrobe can easily be the most accessible and stylish of all your seasonal wardrobes. While every component of a modern summer outfit deserves an equal share of the limelight, we want to place a special focus on a piece of the puzzle that perhaps doesn’t always receive the plaudits it deserves. The ZOOFASHIONS.COM style team has handpicked a selection of some of our favourite shorts from the season, featuring a varied assortment of fabrics, colourways and graphic designs.
