Ah, the white sneaker. Simple, classic, and versatile beyond measure, it's the easygoing essential that every closet needs. Whether you're dressing down a slouchy suit or a floral midi dress, when spring comes around and our ankles are freed from the confines of socks, the styling possibilities of the white sneaker are endless. And if you're taking a less-is-more approach to fashion these days, you really only need one pair to be the hero piece of your wardrobe.
Ahead, POPSUGAR editors share their tried-and-true favourite white sneakers, from classic Adidas to sustainable Cariumas. Go ahead, put your best foot forward.
1 Adidas Originals Stan Smith
"I have a bunch of white sneakers that I rotate, but my favourite pair would have to be these Adidas Originals Stan Smiths ($80). They have such a clean look, and I like the hit of colour on the heel. They're definitely part of my daily uniform — I can wear them with everything from denim to easy dresses to slouchy suits." — Dana Avidan Cohn, executive style director
2 Keds Triple Platform Sneaker
"I've been wearing these Keds Triple Sneakers ($55) since I was a kid, and you really can't mess with a classic! I love how versatile they are — equally as cute with a floral midi dress as with jeans and a T-shirt — and the platform helps give me a little boost in the height department. They're also the best sneaker for anyone with narrow feet; a lot of other popular sneaker brands are way too wide for me." — Tara Block, content director, Growth and Strategic Features
3 Vans Canvas Sk8-Hi
"I put off investing in a pair of white sneakers for a while because I wasn't sure if I could pull them off, but after my favourite black Vans became so worn out that they practically begged me for mercy, I scooped up these Vans Canvas Sk8-Hi Sneakers ($70) and haven't looked back. Even though they're more susceptible to getting dirty, it's worth the risk for how well they match with everything in my closet." — Victoria Messina, associate editor, Trending and Viral Features
4 Cariuma Off-White Canvas Sneaker
"Technically these Cariuma Off-White Canvas Sneakers ($79) are off-white, but they have certainly been on heavy rotation. The vegan insoles are made from a soft, comfortable foam for better arch support — I can walk in these for hours without a problem." — Claire Stern, contributing editor, Fashion
5 Common Projects Achilles Leather Low-Top Sneakers
"I am fanatical about casual white shoes. Converse, Vans, Keds, canvas, leather, textured, high-top, low-top — I love them all. My favourite pair of white sneakers, though? Hands down, Common Projects Achilles Leather Low-Top Sneakers ($425). They are pricey, but they are easy to clean (important when you live in Portland, the mud capital of America) and shockingly durable. I've had mine for years, and I still slip into them weekly." — Maggie Panos, senior editor, Voices
"These are not only my favourite white sneakers, but my favourite shoe period. They're certainly not cheap, but I think the sleek Italian leather and durability (I've had mine for five years!) make the price tag worth it. I promise they look as good with a pair of leggings or sweats as they do with a dress or tailored trousers." — Yerin Kim, associate editor, Trending and Viral Features
6 Saucony Jazz Court Sneaker
"Right now, my go-to white sneaker is the Saucony Jazz Court Sneaker ($90). I used to wear them in middle school, and when I recently got my hands on a new pair, let's just say the nostalgia was real. They're the perfect in-between shoe for me — they have the slightest platform and aren't too low of a low-top. Plus, they look just as great with mom jeans as they do with leggings." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
7 Cole Haan GrandPrø Tennis Sneaker
"I'm a big fan of these Cole Haan GrandPrø Tennis Sneakers ($130). I used to wear them almost every day in the Before Times! They are the perfect casual work and weekend shoe, especially because there's no need to break them in — they form to your feet and are comfortable enough to wear all day." — Allison Ingrum, editorial operations support associate
8 Vans Old Skool Platform
"I wear these Vans Old Skool Platforms ($65) ALL THE TIME. Vans are a classic sneaker that can go with any outfit and the platform sole gives me an extra inch — which I will always take at 5'3"!" — Jordan Shalhoub, social media producer, Fitness
9 Adidas Superstar Shoes
"White Adidas are my go-to. For the most classic look, I always go back to these Adidas Superstar Shoes ($85)." — Lisa Sugar, president and founder, POPSUGAR
