5 Ways to Wear White Sneakers

They’re the fashion item worn by everyone from athletes to celebrities, mums, dads, teens and tweens.

It’s the white sneaker and is one of the must have pairs of shoes in your wardrobe.

The white sneaker is kind of like the chameleon shoe – it transcends age groups and gender and can be worn with so many outfits.

There are also endless styles to choose from, some coming with a bit of detail like stripes or stitching, there are some with patterns and some sticking to the original, classic look.

It’s basically the shoe that continues to get an upgrade. Labels have clearly seen the value in doing this.

More recently we’ve seen the sneaker given some height with the introduction of a platform.

It’s always good to see a classic get reinvented but I have to say, you can’t beat the original. There’s no reason though that you can’t have more than one pair. You will get an extraordinary amount of wear out of them. Consider it a definite return on your investment.

I was quite late jumping on the white sneaker bandwagon. I was always into wearing boots, usually something with a heel. I always looked at people wearing white sneakers and thought, yes I love it, but can I pull it off. Is it me? 

I bought my first pair of white sneakers after having my son. I needed something comfortable I could just grab from my cupboard and that would work with pretty much everything I owned.

It is one of the best style decisions I have made. I don’t know what I did before owning a pair of white sneakers. Life is actually so much better and so much easier. 

Now the classic lace up sneaker will always be in style. As I mentioned, there are new sneakers coming onto the market all the time so you don’t have to settle for something you don’t absolutely love.

White sneakers are an investment piece so choose wisely.

As for what you can wear them with, here are 5 simple options.

1. Jeans

Wear them with jeans and a t-shirt or shirt of any colour. There doesn’t need to be white in your outfit for the sneakers to ‘match’. Adding sneakers here dresses your outfit down and is ideal on weekends, catching up with friends or when permanently chasing children around. 

2. Skirt

A sneaker will work with a skirt of any length. I love wearing mine with a midi skirt and also throw them on with my denim skirt.

3. Pants

I mentioned jeans before but a sneaker can be worn with any colour pants. You’ll most likely own a pair of black pants and adding your sneaker here will again dress the look down.

4. Dress

In Summer, they’re the perfect pairing to any dress from block colours to patterns, denim and black.

5. Shorts

Most of us will be getting around in shorts as the weather gets warmer and white sneakers will go well with denim, black or anything with colour or a pattern.

White sneakers are actually the one pair of shoes that goes with everything and can be worn all year round.
