The 16 Best White Sneakers to Wear With Everything, Any Time of Year
You should know by now that the old rules about wearing white are out the window. After Labor Day? Absolutely—and pretty much any way you like. That goes double for white sneakers. Once considered a summertime standby, we've now come to realize the (very) obvious: They look great all year long. Plus, they go with pretty much everything in your closet, whether it's a pair of jeans or a full-blown suit. So even though the colder months have closed in on us, that doesn't mean you should take your fresh white kicks out of your rotation. Just wait for a dry day (or choose a pair that can stand up to the elements) and wear with confidence. Here are 16 pairs to keep an eye on right now.
