Every year there is always a pair of ‘it’ trainers, 2019’s top pick being Alexander McQueen’s chunky white platforms.

The Runway Leather Platform Trainers by the British designer were an instant hit this year, search platform, Lyst, naming the footwear as the Hottest Women’s Product in the first quarter of 2019.

The shoes were being searched for every two minutes on the site at the beginning of the year - and their popularity hasn’t diminished as the months have rolled on.

The classic white trainers with a statement heel tab have become a staple on the fashion week street style scene, as well as a favourite with celebrities and influencers, most recently seen on Jennifer Lopez and Geri Halliwell.
