I\u2019m delighted to share my interview with the newspaper Le Temps on a subject that is raising more and more questions in the professional world: whether white trainers have a place at work.<\/p>\n

In recent years, workplace dress codes have been shifting. Silhouettes are becoming more relaxed, the line between formal and casual wear is blurring, and some pieces once reserved for off-duty moments are now finding their place in the professional world.<\/p>\n

The white trainer is probably one of the best examples.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to journalist Olivia Schmidely for her work and for giving me the opportunity to share my views on workplace dress codes.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say it often enough: never underestimate the power of a first impression. Our clothes, our posture, our colours and the details we choose all send a message before we\u2019ve said a single word.<\/p>\n

So, can you wear white trainers to work?<\/p>\n

Yes, of course, but not just any pair, not everywhere and certainly not any old way.<\/p>\n

It all depends on your industry, your role, the company culture, what the day holds and, of course, how they fit into the outfit as a whole.<\/p>\n

A clean, elegant, minimalist and well-kept white trainer can work perfectly with well-cut trousers, a contemporary suit or a more relaxed professional look. On the other hand, a very sporty, worn or overly chunky pair can instantly change the way the whole outfit is perceived.<\/p>\n

So the real question isn\u2019t simply whether a piece is \u201callowed\u201d, but what message it sends, and whether that message is consistent with your professional environment, your role and the image you want to project.<\/p>\n

A truly modern dress code isn\u2019t about following rigid rules. It\u2019s about adapting your image with sound judgement, staying true to who you are while respecting the codes of your environment.<\/p>\n

In short: white trainers at work? Why not, as long as you choose them carefully and know when and how to wear them.<\/strong><\/p>\n
