The white sneaker is still one of the most timeless and versatile footwear staples. A good pair of white sneakers goes well with nearly everything, from jeans and a t-shirt to a maxi  skirt and a trench coat. The simplicity and effortlessly chic look of the white sneaker say “I am stylish but practical”, the confidence reflected by the ability to wear a “sporty” shoe and still look elegant has elevated white sneakers to a new level of luxury with brands like Golden Goose and Common Projects.

For a minimalist, having a shoe that you can work into any situation makes traveling, capsule wardrobing and life a lot easier, as having the right shoe becomes one less thing to think about. Spend more time worrying about the things that matter and get a minimalist white sneaker you can wear on loop. The following are today’s classic go-to minimalist white sneakers:
