Why are Gold Leather Trainers for Women such a statement of style

Gold leather trainers for women are a little different from your every day trainers. I have found that they can bring an everyday swish and glamour to our casual everyday. Gold catches the light, adds personality and when styled well, can be surprisingly easy to wear.

At Cocorose London, we believe comfortable footwear should never mean compromising on style. In this article I will discuss my designs that use gold to bring the shoes to life. Our women’s trainers combine practical everyday comfort with distinctive details, from metallic gold leather and leopard print to stars and gold studs.

So, are gold leather trainers for women a statement of style? Yes, they are, this is why they are in my collection. They add an eye-catching finish to our everyday while remaining versatile enough for regular wear.

However I have taken time out to write this guide about gold trainers for women to illustrate just how versatile they can be, from full-on gold leather styles to trainers where gold is used as a striking detail.

Why would you choose gold leather trainers?

As a woman I find gold leather trainers have a way of changing an outfit I may throw on without making me rethink what you are wearing. Trying to get get myself and the family up and out of the house in the morning takes all my effort. As a result, I may just grab a favourite pair of jeans, or a dress with a shirt and jumper - but adding a pair of trainers with a gold finish or adornment and suddenly there is something more interesting going on. Perhaps pair of leather trainers, with gold studs on like these Hoxon Navy studded trainer. Wear them with tailored trousers, a dress or a skirt and they can give the outfit a more relaxed, contemporary feel.

For me, that is the appeal of gold trainers. They are practical, but the gold brings something unexpected. It catches the light, draws the eye and gives a familiar outfit a little more personality.

Gold leather is particularly effective. The texture and structure of leather give the trainer a quality feel, while the metallic finish makes it more distinctive than a traditional white, black or neutral trainer.

And you don't need to be someone who normally wears bold shoes. Gold can be surprisingly easy to introduce into your wardrobe. It works beautifully with denim, black, navy, animal prints and many neutral shades. The trick is to let the trainers provide the interest. Keep the rest of your outfit simple and allow the gold to do its job.

That is why I believe women's gold trainers deserve more than a passing fashion moment. The Hoxton Gold with black stars for example can become the pair you reach for when you want comfort, but don't want your footwear to disappear into the outfit.

How to Style and Wear Gold Trainers

Gold trainers for women are surprisingly easy to wear. One of my favourite ways to style them is with denim. A pair of relaxed dark blue jeans, a cream shirt or white T-shirt and gold leather trainers creates an outfit that feels effortless, but the footwear gives it a little more personality. Black trousers work just as well, particularly when you want the gold to stand out. I have created an image here of our Moorgate Gold Trim leopard sneakers, worn with Black trousers.

Gold doesn't have to mean head-to-toe glamour either. Our Hoxton style in white with Gold Stars can show how a white leather trainer can be given a distinctive finish with gold stars. I love the way they look with a flowing skirt or dress, where the trainers bring a relaxed feel to a more feminine outfit. They work just as well with wide-leg trousers, as shown in the images here.

For a bolder look, go for the full gold leather of our Hoxton Gold with Black Stars or the Moorgate Leopard and Gold. The leopard print with the metallic gold toe adds another layer of interest, and looks particularly good with simple clothing in black, white, cream or denim. The trick with women's gold trainers is not to overthink them. Let the shoes provide the interest and keep the rest of the outfit relatively simple.

 

What makes a great pair of gold leather trainers?

Gold trainers might catch your eye, but the looks should never be the only reason you buy them. For me, there are a few non-negotiable standards: they need to be comfortable for you, well-made and durable enough to earn their place in your wardrobe.

A good pair should feel comfortable from the first wear, have a well-constructed upper and sole, and be made to cope with regular wear. They should be easy to care for too. After all, a beautiful pair of gold trainers are going to have far more use when you can keep them looking good with the right care.

There is something worth knowing about metallic leather. Gold finishes can be more delicate than ordinary leather, so they need looking after. With some gold leather shoes, excessive rubbing, scratching, harsh cleaning products or rough treatment can cause the metallic finish to wear. That is understandable with a delicate finish, but with proper care, this should not be something you expect to happen during normal wear.

So listing what makes a great pair of gold leather trainers, then I say:

• Comfort - check the fit, out sole and in sole - look also for a padded tongue
• Well-constructed - check the stitching quality and make sure the stitch is not in a place where it may rub
• How will you care for them? Look for designs that are going to be easier to wipe clean and polish.
• Select the right amount of gold for you - a small accent can still make all the difference.
• Cheaper metallic leathers may look their shine. If you slip your trainers on and off, avoid metallic finish on the heel - its likely to rub off.

Gold trainers: which style is right for you?

Choosing gold trainers for women is really a matter of personal style. If you like your footwear to make an entrance, go for full-on gold leather. If that feels a little too much, choose a white or neutral trainer with gold stars, gold trim or another gold detail.

The choice says something about your personality, too. Some women will love the glamour of a completely gold trainer; others will prefer a quieter flash of metallic. Either way, there is no right or wrong choice. The best pair is the one that feels like you.

FAQs about Gold Leather Trainers for Women

Are gold leather trainers for women easy to style?

Yes. Gold trainers can be much easier to wear than you might expect. They work particularly well with denim, black, white, navy, cream and neutral shades, giving a simple outfit an eye-catching finishing touch.

If you prefer a more understated look, choose a white leather trainer with gold stars, studs or trim. For more impact, a full gold leather trainer lets the footwear take centre stage.

What colours go well with gold trainers for women?

Gold works with a surprisingly wide range of colours. Blue denim is an obvious choice, while black creates a stronger contrast. White, cream, beige, navy and other neutral shades can give gold trainers a softer look.

You can match the gold with small details elsewhere in your outfit too, such as jewellery, a handbag buckle or other accessories. There is no need to match everything exactly — sometimes the gold trainers are better left to provide the one unexpected detail.

Are gold leather trainers comfortable enough for all-day wear?

They can be, provided the trainer is well made and suits your feet. At Cocorose London, comfort is one of our non-negotiable standards. The leather, shape, sole and overall construction all have a part to play in how a trainer feels when worn for longer periods.

Gold may make a trainer look more glamorous, but that doesn't mean you should have to sacrifice comfort. Our aim is to create gold trainers for women that look distinctive while still being suitable for real days out, travelling, shopping and walking.

Does the gold finish wear off leather trainers?

Metallic leather needs a little more care than some traditional leather finishes. The gold effect is applied to the surface of the leather, so repeated heavy rubbing, scratching, harsh cleaning products or rough treatment can damage the finish.

That does not mean the gold should simply come away through normal, sensible wear. A well-made pair that is looked after properly should give you plenty of enjoyment. Keep your gold leather trainers away from abrasive surfaces, don't use unsuitable cleaning products and follow the care advice supplied with your shoes.

It is worth treating metallic leather as a fashion finish rather than expecting it to behave exactly like an untreated leather. A little care goes a long way.

Are gold trainers for women suitable for smarter occasions?

Yes. Gold trainers can be a great way to make a smarter outfit feel less formal without losing its sense of style. Try them with tailored trousers, a midi dress, a skirt or a smart jacket.

A white trainer with gold detailing can give a more subtle effect, whereas full gold leather makes the footwear a much stronger part of the outfit. The right choice comes down to your personal style and how much attention you want the shoes to attract.
