Look into any style star’s wardrobe and you’re bound to find at least one pair of white sneakers sitting next to her array of high heels. After all, the white sneaker is the work horse of anyone’s shoe-robe. Not only do they look good with just about everything, they’re comfortable enough to keep you on your toes the whole day. And don’t even worry about keeping them pristine, because the draw of having a white sneaker is watching it age beautifully from all the wearing and scuffing.
Plus, they come in a whole host of designs, so you can never stop at just one pair (trust me, I’ve got at least 18 pairs and counting).
But did you know that you can wear white sneakers everywhere, including the office and the club? We’re not pulling your leg here, because we’ve done the legwork for you to prove it. But if you still need some convincing, these three celebs might just sway your mind.

Style star: Karlie Kloss
The Sneaker: Karlie sports the tennis sneaker, which can be characteristically defined from its round toe cap and a relatively chunky sole.
Why we love it: Thanks to her smart styling, Karlie’s outfit can easily be recreated for the office. All you need is a tailored outerwear or blazer to smarten up your look. If blue jeans aren’t your cup of comfort, then switch it out for a pair of slim-fitted trousers and a matching blazer.
Style star: Gigi Hadid
The Sneaker: Gigi’s opted for a pair of slip-on loafers here, which are also known as skate shoes. Skate shoes come with a chunky, flat sole, elastic ribbing for better grip around the base of your ankles, and and without laces.
Why we love it: Her eye-catching blue-and-purple suit is great for a party, and she’s done the smart thing and worn comfy sneakers rather than a vertiginous pair of stilettos. Take a cue from her and wear a pair of slip-ons with your going-out look.
Style star: Olivia Palermo
The Sneaker: Olivia steps out in a pair of thinner-soled plimsolls, which make for a great weekend sneaker choice because they are lighter in weight and allow for more breathability.
Why we love it: Weekends are meant for being comfortable and fuss-free, and that’s why we’ve tabbed this look as an inspiration. Not only is the styling on the money—thanks to her fail-proof pairing of minimal separates in navy and white—the whole look feels modern, fresh and easy.
