“White sneakers have been in demand and popular for many years among both women and men. There is a simple explanation for this. White sneakers are versatile and comfortable footwear. Due to their shortness, they can be combined with a huge number of things and the style of the image can be completely different – from sports to business.”
How to choose sneakers?
White is a neutral color, so it can be combined with any shade. Both bright and juicy and calm (muted) colors are suitable. The comfort of sneakers is also superior to that of many other shoe models.
It is quite difficult to make a mistake when choosing, because several options are relevant now. For example, white sneakers with leather laces without additional details will be the ideal basis for your looks. I recommend choosing this model for lovers of minimalism and simplicity.
White sneakers made of fabric will be a great summer choice and, like leather ones, will suit most looks. And if you like more daring solutions, you should give preference to models with decorative elements or a combination of different textures.
Another option is sneakers with a multi-layer sole. Choose the model that best reflects your personal style. This is a basic recommendation.

How to style sneakers?
If you have already decided on the model, let’s take a closer look at what to wear with white sneakers. Let’s look at ideas for men and women. It must be said that today they are very often identical.
casual looks
To create a casual look, combine sneakers with blue jeans, a T-shirt, a long-sleeved shirt or a sweatshirt. This is a universal option. It is suitable for both women and men. To prevent your look from looking completely boring, add accessories. For example, caps, glasses, bags. Put a sweatshirt over your shoulders or tie a shirt around your waist.
You can also make an image with jeans and a T-shirt more professional by adding a jacket to it. You can wear this outfit to work, walk around the city, and even on a date it will be appropriate.

Another basic combination that works for both men and women is shorts, a shirt and sneakers. However, it is important to keep one nuance in mind. For an urban look, try to avoid shorts that are too short. It is better to consider elongated options or Bermuda shorts. You can wear a cotton or linen shirt to keep you comfortable in hot weather. And of course, don’t forget to add accessories to your look.
Classic white sneakers fit perfectly into this summer’s tennis aesthetic. They go perfectly with dresses and skirts. With this look you are sure to catch admiring glances. Pair platform sneakers with pleated skirts and polo shirts.

The core of tennis has come to us to replace old money. But we also associate it with “quiet luxury” and the upper stratum of society. You can get inspiration for this style by looking at archive photos of famous tennis players. This way you will find many interesting examples.
Men should not be afraid to embody the “tennis” look either. To do this, you will need a polo shirt, simple cotton trousers fitted to the waist or shorts. If all of this is white, then the image will be perfect.

Business style looks
We’ve sorted out everyday looks, now let’s look at how you can combine white sneakers in a business outfit. At first it seems that they are simply incompatible with this style. Many people are used to combining it with heels or classic shoes. But it is precisely this contradiction that creates a stylish and interesting look. By combining seemingly incompatible things, we add zest to our image.

Business suits are best paired with white sneakers. Moreover, they can be absolutely any color. The main thing is to remember the relevance of the cut. For the look to look modern, trousers and jacket should not completely hug the figure. Give preference to straight or oversized silhouettes.
In a man’s wardrobe, the combination of a business suit and white sneakers is a must. This tandem looks more casual. Of course, this is only possible if the dress code allows it.

In a woman’s wardrobe, a combination of business clothes and sneakers will also look very appropriate and relevant, especially if it includes a three-piece suit. That is, trousers, a jacket and a vest. They can be made of suit fabric or linen. We select the color based on our preferences.

If it’s too hot to wear a suit, pair white sneakers with trousers and shirts. Stick to the business style when choosing clothes. Remember that sneakers are responsible for our sporty style. Don’t try to combine things from different styles in your look. A combination of both is more than enough. If you did everything right, your look will be stylish, comfortable and appropriate for work.

Sporty style looks
Now I suggest you see how you can combine white sneakers in sporty looks. Everything is quite simple here, but you need to take into account some details. In men’s outfits, straight-cut sports trousers or joggers will look stylish in combination with a hoodie or sweatshirts. Sweatshirts with emblems and inscriptions will also be relevant.
For sporty looks, a technique like layering will work perfectly: wear a T-shirt under a sweatshirt/hoodie, but in such a way that the bottom of the T-shirt peeks out from under the sweatshirt/hoodie.

You can also create a modern and stylish feminine look in a sporty aesthetic. Let’s remember Princess Diana: cycling shorts, a sweatshirt and white sneakers. This combination will turn out to be as comfortable and fashionable as possible. Cycling shorts can be replaced with capri pants that are currently in fashion, and a sweatshirt can be replaced with a sports T-shirt and a sweatshirt.

A trendy combination is white sneakers and a floor-length dress with thin straps. You can add a leather jacket or a bomber jacket to this look. The look will look sexy and very elegant. The dress can be with or without a slit. The main thing here is the long, fitted silhouette. Take note of this combination and attract admiring glances.
