Once upon a time, a pair of white sneakers were exclusively found on the tennis court, but over the years, they’ve graduated and have become an integral part of the street style landscape.

It’s so hot you can barely function so you choose an easy linen set? Add some white sneakers.
See? Versatile and can be worn with everything.
