Your Go-To White Sneaker

Crisp, classic white sneakers are like oxygen--you need them. The right pair works with pegged jeans, tailored trousers, a leather mini or even a sleek knit midi dress. The key is finding a pair that's not overly trendy--or overpriced. (At this point in your life, you don't want to worry about scuffing $800 white designer sneakers, right?) I love these Reebok nylon sneakers ($55) for their retro flair, lightweight style (so easy to pack for a trip) and clean, uncomplicated look. The cut is slightly narrow, which makes them appear more elegant than wider, round-toe sneakers too.
