Seen on countless Pinterest fashion boards and even praised by podiatrists as one of the healthiest trends in footwear, white sneakers have become cemented as a wardrobe staple over the last few years. They are comfortable, stylish, easily coordinated with any outfit, and perfect for travel. We’ve rounded up some of the best white fashion sneakers for every style and budget. Check out our top picks below!
First up is a sneaker brand that has become a beloved brand and has garnered fans for over 100 years! Despite being around so long, don’t underestimate this brand to keep up with the modern trends. Converse is known for its iconic high-top, but they have added a fun and surprising twist that has been very well received with their Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform Canvas. These shoes give a little sporty spunk to any outfit and have the bonus of adding a few-inch boost to your stature. They’ll have you standing tall and strutting your stuff.
Want the sporty high-top style without the platform? Then, we’ve got you covered! The Nike Blazer Mid ’77 is a perfect alternative. They have a unique, slightly deconstructed style that can be worn from the gym to the street. Another delightful bit is that they are fully customizable on Nike’s website. Pair them with the Nike Ankle crew sock to add to the look.
The chunky “dad” sneaker has made a big comeback reviving that classic 80s and 90s style. The chunky style gives the plain white sneaker a fierce twist. These options will go with even your most creative and bold outfits. Another bonus, all the extra padding at the base offers more cushion for those long days on your feet. The Dolce and Gabbana Mixed-material Daymaster sneakers and the Steve Madden Power White are our favorites for this category.
The next few pairs of sneakers are for those whose style is anything but basic. For a subtle pop that is eye-catching enough to stand out from the crowd, look no further than Alexander McQueen. Major names have rocked McQueen sneakers, like athlete Cristiano Ronaldo, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, and musician The Weekend, among many others. If you want to hop on the trend but with your own distinctive mark, there are plenty of ways to add a little spice to the fresh white sneaker trend. One way is to add a pop of color and shimmer with their Green Crystal-Embellished Oversized Sneaker. Or a touch of gold accents with the Alexander McQueen Glitter Sneakers. The gold glitter laces and heel counter look stunning against the quality white leather. However, if you want an edgy shimmer without the bright color, embolden your collection with the Alexander McQueen Oversize sneakers with black studs.
Another shoe that started its inception as an attempt at a basketball shoe is the Nike Air Force 1 ’07 sneaker. They became a favorite for a reason and are praised for their comfort and versatility. With a simple yet sturdy body, these shoes can be worn comfortably for hours. Even better, they go with anything from athleisurewear sets, shorts, or even a sundress for the ultimate laidback summer vibes.
The Veja Esplar Leather White Platine is a great option if you’re looking for a more slender profile. Even Catherine, Princess of Wales, who has long been seen as a leader in fashion, has been spotted several times wearing them. The Platine colorway gives a classy, subtle touch of rose gold metallic that makes them unique but won’t take the attention away from the rest of your meticulously constructed ensemble.
Finally, the last option is for those who can’t seem to keep their white sneakers clean. But don’t let the fear of dirty sneakers keep you from this trend! The tides have changed in fashion, and distressed looks are all the rage. The Golden Goose Women’s Super-Star sneakers are as low maintenance as it gets, with a pre-distressed look ideal for the low-maintenance gal.
