White sneakers are one of the most versatile types of shoes you’ll ever own. Here are four easy ways to wear white sneakers.

I’ll be honest: I didn’t even own a pair of white sneakers until a couple years ago. I thought they’d be hard to match with my favorite outfits and would get dirty too quickly.

I always figured grey or blue were better colors, but I was wrong. A while back, I finally got my first pair of white leather sneakers and have worn them at least twice a week since – even more in the summer. They fit in perfectly with my mostly neutral wardrobe.

Granted, all white kicks are often viewed as more of a spring/summer shoe, but you can get definitely wear them all year round.

They’re also a more casual type of footwear (compared to a Chelsea boot, for example), but that doesn’t mean they can’t be dressed up. Some guys even like to wear white sneakers with a suit!

I don’t wear mine with suits, but I will show you four of my favorite ways to wear these sneakers, from casual to smart casual.

Ready? Let’s get into the outfits!

White sneakers Outfit #1: Shorts and T-Shirt

This is a super casual warm weather outfit that pretty much any man will look great in.

I’m wearing navy chino shorts (above the knee, of course) and a dark grey crew neck t-shirt. Navy, grey and white look awesome together.

To spruce up a simple outfit like this one, just add accessories. I pretty much always wear sunglasses and carry a bag that can fit my laptop.

Adding a luxury watch like this vintage steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date produces a subtle flex without too much flash.

White sneakers Outfit #2: Athleisure

sneakers work really well with the athleisure aesthetic because, technically speaking, they’re athletic shoes.

I like minimal white leather sneakers, but you could also wear canvas sneakers, high tops or running shoes like the Adidas Ultra Boost or Nike Epic React.
