Ever since Adidas reissued its popular Stan Smith sneaker several seasons ago, designers have been playing with the versatility of a minimalist white sneaker from classic skate styles to embellished slip-ons, and this summer the endless array of white sneakers sees no sign of slowing down.
For her recent spring 2017 show, Celine's creative director Phoebe Philo sent models down the runway in her personal shoe of preference, an easy white tennis shoe with red stripes down the side. Worn with pleated drop-waist dresses, it was a timely reminder that the ultimate easy outfit as we hit summer is a clean-cut, white sneaker and a crisp summer dress, for the weekend or relaxing with friends and family.
For something special, you can't look past the embellished options from Mai Mai at Runway or the Western buckle details from Toga, both offering a unique take on the traditional white sneaker, elevated to the next level.
