I Consider White Sneakers to Be Classic—5 Outfits I Want to Wear With Them Now
There are a few key footwear silhouettes that I'd consider staples in my personal wardrobe because of their more classic nature. Loafers are included in this mix, and yes, so are white sneakers. Whether more retro inspired or something from a current line, white sneakers are one of the most versatile low-key shoe styles to me. As a result, I have a few pairs in my rotation, including silhouettes from Nike and New Balance, and I wear one of my go-tos multiple times per week.
On that note, I have a few outfit formulas I tend to wear with my trusty trainers (ahem, loose jeans and a relaxed sweatshirt), but there are a few other outfit ideas with white sneakers that I saved on Instagram recently that I'm interested in trying or recommending this season.
Keep scrolling to check out some of the best looks to wear with white sneakers. You can also shop the ensembles, complete with some of the coolest kicks to buy right now.
Denim Jacket + Tee + Cargo Pants
A denim jacket is a great transitional outerwear piece. I'm into the idea of wearing one and draping it over the shoulders if it gets warm. It also looks very cool with of-the-moment cargo pants and a simple tee.
Vest + Trousers
A matching tailoring set is easy yet impossibly chic. The white sneakers bring a more casual, low-key feel to the look.
Sweater + Striped Tank + Maxi Skirt
This is one look that I'm recommending to my friends who live in sneakers. A striped tank is super chic with a trend-forward maxi skirt. The sweater draped around the shoulders brings an extra dimension to the look.
Blazer + Tank + Straight-Leg Jeans
You can't deny the power of a blazer to add an elevated twist to a look. I'll be investing in another tan silhouette to wear with my jeans and white sneakers.
Cardigan + Tee + Baggy Jeans
A unique cardigan (like this polished style) is incredibly chic with just a white tee. I also love the baggy jeans paired with this look with the retro sneakers.
