5 Reasons Why White Shoes Are Still Popular

White shoes are bright, neat-looking, and a real standout in a world where black or brown shoes are seen as the more sensible – but not very exciting – choice of the majority.

They continue to be one of the most interesting (and surprisingly versatile) additions to anyone’s wardrobe.

Here are 5 simple reasons that show us why white shoes are still so popular in the 21st Century.

Totally Timeless: White Shoes Have a Classic Look

There is just something so romantic and classic about white shoes – and we aren’t just talking about stilettos that brides walk down the aisle in. If you look very closely at period films or shows, white shoes are timeless and lend themselves wonderfully to both formal and informal occasions.

Spring formals may call for closed-toe shoes, but a nice morning jog in the fresh air calls for no-nonsense white runners or walking shoes
Summers are made for showing off tanned legs and boat shoes and heading down to the beach in sturdy white dock shoes
White sneakers in the fall are a classic look
Winter might be the most aesthetically appropriate time to wear white

Did you know that white shoes are actually a great choice for traveling? If you’re opting for sneakers, sandals, and espadrilles, these are lightweight and can easily fit in your luggage. Likewise, wearing white shoes on the go adds brightness to whatever you’re wearing on vacation.

White shoes, particularly sneakers and tennis shoes, are just the thing you want to pair with your casual outfits. Wear your white sneakers with shorts or jeans - practically the only thing limiting you is your own imagination.
Add a stark contrast to a dark outfit with white shoes to add some oomph.

There is a reason why white shoes are a perennial favorite among visual artists, graphic designers, and fashion designers: they serve as the perfect background for wearable works of art. From bold splashes of color against the pristine canvas to geometric patterns, white shoes lend themselves well to creative embellishment.
