White Sneakers: Our Editors’ Everyday Favorite in 2025
White sneakers have become the anchor of every fashion editor’s wardrobe. Clean, classic, and endlessly versatile, they bridge the gap between comfort and style. Whether you’re heading to the airport or brunch, a pair of fresh white sneakers completes the look effortlessly.
Real Life Example: Just last week, our fashion editor Sana flew to Istanbul with only a carry-on and wore her Veja white sneakers with three different outfits from tailored pants to a linen midi dress. She swears they were her most reliable travel companion.
White Sneakers That Remain Timeless Editor Picks
White sneakers like the Nike Air Force 1, Adidas Stan Smith, and Reebok Club C 85 continue to be mainstays in editor closets. These styles have been around for decades because they go with everything.
Real Life Example: Editor Mira wears her Stan Smiths to work with high-waisted trousers and a silk blouse. She also styles them with floral skirts on weekends. Her philosophy: “When in doubt, white sneakers.”
White Sneakers Inspired by Retro Trends Are Back
Retro-inspired white sneakers are making a stylish comeback. Editors love New Balance 550, Asics Gel-Kayano, and Reebok Classic Leather for their nostalgic appeal with a modern fit.
Real Life Example: Editor Leena sported her gray and white New Balance 550s with slouchy jeans and a structured blazer at a brand shoot in Berlin. Everyone on set complimented the subtle ’90s throwback style.
White Sneakers for the Office? Absolutely Yes
Today’s officewear embraces stylish comfort. White sneakers with sleek designs like Everlane Court Sneakers, Cole Haan GrandPro Rally, and Veja Campo are editor-approved for work.
Real Life Example: Editor Hiba walked into a client pitch wearing her white Cole Haans with a navy pantsuit. Not only did she feel confident, but the client even asked where she got her shoes.
White Sneakers That Travel Well and Still Look Chic
For editors constantly on the move, travel-ready white sneakers are essential. Think On Cloudnova, Allbirds Tree Runners, and Vans Old Skool White.
Real Life Example: Fashion editor Alina packed her On sneakers for a four-day shoot in Italy. They held up for over 15,000 steps a day while still looking polished in every behind-the-scenes photo.
Affordable White Sneakers Under $100 Editors Love
You don’t need to splurge to find great white sneakers. Editors recommend options like Superga Cotu, Zara leather-effect trainers, and H&M white canvas lace-ups.
Real Life Example: Assistant editor Sara showed up to NYFW in her $59 Zara sneakers and a tailored co-ord. A stylist mistook them for Common Projects. Enough said.
White Sneakers from Luxury Brands Worth the Investment
Luxury white sneakers like Golden Goose, Chanel low-tops, and Alexander McQueen oversized sneakers make bold statements while keeping things cool.
Real Life Example: Editor-in-chief Amina wore her Golden Goose sneakers to a rooftop fashion dinner. Paired with wide-leg linen pants and a silk wrap top, her look was both effortless and elite.
The Best Everyday White Sneakers Editors Always Reach For
For comfort and consistency, white sneakers from brands like Cariuma OCA Low, Vans Old Skool, and Puma Cali Star dominate our daily rotations.
Real Life Example: Fashion writer Rida wears her Cariuma sneakers for everything from fashion events to quick supermarket runs. “They’re like wearing clouds but make it fashion,” she jokes.
Keeping White Sneakers Clean: Editor Hacks
Clean white sneakers are key to pulling off any outfit. Editors use Jason Markk kits, Magic Erasers, and DIY baking soda techniques to maintain their pairs.
Real Life Example: Editor Saima swears by brushing her Veja soles with a little toothpaste and a damp cloth before every major event. “It takes 3 minutes and adds polish to any look,” she says.
