It doesn’t take an expert to notice that almost all the colorful sneakers on the market are sold out — but when you hover the mouse over the neutral colorway? You will find exactly the opposite. Not so long ago, the White Sneaker was the shoe of choice for everything from celebrity street style to outfit checks for fashion influencers. So, what happened?
It makes sense that white sneakers are a mainstay of our closets – after all, what could be more versatile? But if you rely on your Accessories to lift heavy objects, white sneakers cannot have the same punch as colored shoes. Thanks to the company’s recent obsession with Adidas Sambas and gazelles — which come in all the colors of the rainbow—colorful sneakers are finally being appreciated for what you can do with an outfit (read: totally change it). Now almost all shoe brands, focused on sneakers or not, offer a retro and saturated Sneaker. Make room, girls, there is personality!
Whether you’re looking for new ways to style your colorful sneakers or you’re just curious about colorful sneakers, these looks might convince you to pull off your white sneakers.
1. with all white
Wearing an all-white outfit is, in my opinion, the most chic way to wear a colorful Sneaker. Of course, you might as well pair this Look with a White Sneaker, but where’s the fun in that? Try updating your favorite white sundress with a bright shoe—bonus points for coordinating Accessories.
2. with “jeans and a nice top”
Jeans and a nice top? Say less. It’s an elite jumpsuit as old as the era-or, realistically, the early 2000s — but now TikTok reserves the term for outfits consisting of loose jeans and tight tops. Take the jumpsuit up a notch this Season and add a colorful Sneaker. The result will be effortless and coded cool girl.
3. with paint from head to toe
Ready for a challenge? May I suggest leaning even further into the color and combining your colorful sneakers with – dare I say-a different color? Try ready-made combinations like yellow and blue, red and Orange, green and pink.
4. with similar shades
If you find yourself in a style rut, try a monochrome look. The key to a successful monochrome outfit is to work with slightly varying shades, rather than trying to match each piece perfectly. You want it to look like what you quickly threw together without much effort.
