Three things will always be true in life:
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. White shoes will always be fashionable
For real, though, if you don’t have a pair of white sneakers in your closet, then they better be on your feet. No excuses allowed.
White sneakers have a timeless look that’s simultaneously hip & classy. They transcend the boundaries of any style. Preppy, hip-hop, silicon valley–I’ve even seen goth girls wearing white sneakers. They work with any outfit, any style, any personality.
Are they right for you? The short answer is YES. That’s it. Full stop. Okay, you want to know a little more. Let’s take a closer look.
Always in Season
The reason white sneakers are timeless is because they’re simple. There’s no flash or flare that ties them to a particular look or style. That timeless simplicity means they’re always stylish. Don’t believe it? Swipe through pics of any clothing brand’s seasonal collection and I guarantee you will see a model wearing white sneakers whether it’s spring, summer, fall, or winter. It doesn’t matter if it’s the spring collection or your collection, white shoes are a perfect fit.
White Sneakers Go With Anything
The simplicity of white sneakers means they can go with anything, whether you’re walking around campus or giving a presentation in the office. They look just as good with a pair of gym shorts as they do with those raw denim jeans you bought online last year. The sneakers won’t clash with your clothes. On the contrary, they’ll enhance your entire outfit. They make your casual outfit look a little more polished. Think, “casual, but still care.” And they take the stuffiness out of your more formal combinations, leaving you with a sharp, well-put-together look.
You've Grown Up
You’re an adult now. Colorful sneakers might fly in the gym as you’re banging out miles on the treadmill, but Starburst colors and Nike checks just don’t work everywhere. Every adult should have a casual pair of sneakers and those sneakers need to be white. Not only are white sneakers vibrant and simple enough to go with everything, they also send a clear message: You’re bold enough to wear them and reliable enough to keep them clean.
White sneakers should be a staple in your wardrobe. They’re timelessly fashionable and look good whether you’re on Broadway or at the beach. Trust me…these kids don’t know about that.
