Everyone needs a pair of versatile white sneakers in their arsenal. (Adidas)
Sure, fall is all about boots, and summer is sandal season, but classic white sneakers? They look good all year round. And that's exactly why it's worth investing in a pair — or two! — that you can wear with everything in your closet. Chunky styles may be trendy now, but that won't always be the case. If you'd like to spend your cash on a style that will stand the test of time, choose something with a slimmer profile and very little embellishment or decoration. That way as fads come and go, you'll always have a simple, comfortable sneaker to complement every outfit.
Not sure where to start your search for the perfect wear-with-everything white sneakers? That's easy: Adidas. The brand has a bunch of iconic, celeb-loved shoes that have been around for a while and still look good all these years later. From the popular Sambas to the timeless Stan Smiths, below you'll find the styles worth splurging on so you can wear them season after season.
Of all the Adidas sneakers, the Gazelles are my personal favorite. I own three pairs in different colors — I always find myself reaching for them because they're comfortable, not heavy and look so good.
My pro shopping tip when it comes to buying your own pair of Gazelles (or any Adidas shoes, in fact)? Check the kids' sizes! I normally wear a size 8.5 in women's shoes, but can fit in the 6.5 youth size in these kicks... which are $20 cheaper!
Fun fact: the Adidas Samba shoes are one of the most popular indoor soccer sneakers ever. Rest assured, however, you don't need to be on the ball field to rock these sneakers. They look great with denim and dress pants alike, and even better, they're lightweight yet supportive.
"So comfy and they go with everything," one shopper said about these kicks. "They are perfect with black dress pants and are casual but still dressy enough to wear to the office. Size down a half size for a comfier fit."
Thousands of Adidas shoppers have given these kicks five stars and they get especially high marks for comfort and quality. Like many other classic Adidas designs, these shoes are a unisex style so make sure you're choosing the right size when shopping for a pair.
The black and white versions are probably the most popular, but there are lots of cool color options available including green and white, red and white, and yellow and white.
As a big fan of Adidas' Nizza Platform shoes, I was excited to learn that Drew Barrymore loves these canvas sneakers, too. They have the coziest sock liner inside, making it feel like your feet are sinking into a pillow. They're on sale and fully stocked in white, and what could usher in spring better?
More than 4,000 reviewers give the kicks five stars. "They are the best shoes. I stand for seven-plus hours a day," said one. "My feet don't ache and I walk without pain. I can get off work and still run errands."
