Show me your fave white sneaker outfits

viva

I've been anti-white sneakers (for myself) for quite a while,but I just bought a pair of Stan Smiths (inspired by Lisap and Smittie). Pretty sure they are keepers and I'd love some styling ideas. Show me how you're wearing yours!

I want Stan smiths with either the lime green or navy inserts in the heel. But too much fashion lemming?

Then again, maybe I shouldn't care so much.

I would wear with anything that I've been wearing with my skater shoes.

If I had a camera, I would....sigh...

Anyway, I wore mine the other day with these elements. In Finds.

I'm probably not the best example as my "uniform" is so basic and you wear a lot of business casual, dresses, etc. For me, I prefer wearing mine with non-white and not overly classic bottoms, using them as the "pop of color" in a way and trying to steer clear of anything too "tennis" or "country club". I still probably come off as preppy wearing them a lot of the time, such as with my plaid shirt. It's my "camp" look.

I sometimes add a bracelet and/or necklace that has some white in it.

Angie and suz both had some great outfits in years past with their white converse I think.

No pics at hand, but with trousers , a denim dress (shorter than knee length) adidas soccer pants, shorts, skorts/running skirts , leggings, anything except for jeans, interestingly. I like them against/with a black bottom, personally. Mine are getting perfectly worn in , and I love them:)

My first photo at YLF
I wear mine to walk to work almost daily and then change into more formal shoes, but this was the first deliberate outfit worn to a day at a writers' festival. The sneakers are Ecco http://au.shop.ecco.com/ecco-w.....men-casual

Don't have any real pictures. Only inspiration pics (I'm yet to buy stark white trainers!)

I would wear with denim dress, dresses with some white in the print or light grey too, cropped jeans and denim shorts.

A great idea Maneera, here's a few inspiration photos I'd saved:

Ah, thank you for all of these pictures! I'm still trying to decide whether or not to keep these sneakers.

BJ1111: Mine have the green tab. Fashion lemming, right here.
Kookaburra, I love your picture! I wish I felt like mine looked like that on. I think it's difficult to look down at your own feet in sneakers and get a realistic view.
Sally, for a minute you made me want Cons again. But I'm trying to branch out.
Lisap/Suz: Thanks for the great outfit ideas.
And thank you to Kookaburra and Manny for the great inspirational pics. I'm going to try on some dresses and trousers from my closet and see how these look and feel.
Texstyle, I know just what you mean! I have to make sure I don't reach for these Stan Smiths the way my un-ironic preppy 13-year-old self would have.

But you can wear them in that unironic way because you have that authentic cool-girl look. How cool would they be with denim cut-offs and a plaid shirt? Or oversize polo t and cut-offs! I'd look like a complete asexual jerk like that - and you would look like something out of Town & Country (i.e. really good).

Thanks Viva - I would like to update my converse too, and am looking at some leather ones. I am deciding whether new ankle boots or new sneakers at the moment.

Good luck with your decisions:)

I bought a pair of Stan Smiths a year or so ago, but sent them back because they were too wide. TBH even if I had kept them, I would probably have ended up wearing them in traditional preppy ways.
