If there’s one type of footwear that’s become quite the constant in my wardrobe it’s white sneakers. They’re so wearable, comfortable and have had such a style evolution that it’s now acceptable to pretty much wear them everywhere. I’ve spoken about different ways to wear white sneakers in the past so you’ll know that when it comes to versatility, they are unbeatable. From dresses to skirts and culottes, they work with virtually everything.
This season however your white sneaker options have evolved from minimalist to embellished and playful. Gucci have done it best, incorporating everything from pearls to embroidery while Valentino have dabbled in butterfly appliqués to have some fun with this closet staple. If you prefer your sneakers pared back then never fear—there are still plenty of options that involve a simple, subtle logo and not much else.
One thing is for sure though—your wardrobe most definitely needs a pair.
