Crisp, clean, and always in season, white sneakers are the best pairs that do best and shine the brightest
White ruled the Met Gala this year. Everyone from Zendaya to Lewis Hamilton came dressed like fashion angles who just descended from an all-cream dimension. I mean, white is ethereal and pristine in a sea of ivory ambition.
While most of us don't have the couture budget or the sharp jawline to puff off pearl-encrusted jackets or hand-embroidered capes, there's one part of the white-out aesthetic that we can definitely wear and might already be in our closers: the humble white sneakers.
Never been out of style. Never will ever be. White sneakers only evolve and walk in and out of different rooms. Gym class, Tennis courts, serious meeting rooms, and even political interviews. (Coughs Rishi Sunak and his white sambas Coughs) Clean kicks, especially white, mean everything. From "I have good taste" to "I didn't try too hard " to "I take grooming and cleanliness seriously."
The truth of the matter is: White sneakers go right about with everything. And are up on the top list of anywhere wearable sneakers. Period. They go with you on a lame Tinder date, a cool cricket match, under a well-tailored suit, and shorts.
