Sneaker freakers, rejoice. The common leather shoe has officially made its transition from the gym to the street to the club. The active-fashion style is dominating the runway — a quasi-relaxed approach to style this season — prompting fashion-lead lads and celebs on the red carpet to take up the street chic look. The best part? Its versatility. The white sneaker — be it low or high cut — comes made in premium leather or cool canvas with minimal details, making them ready to work with any style mix; no sweating required.
And today, it lives on. The sporty accents of the white tennis shoe in canvas lends a country club aesthetic to the look, met with bone or khaki trousers cropped these days for something super modern and a pastel shirt enhances the prep or something more nautical like a Breton shirt in navy and white stripe. Look to Converse or Lacoste for this look, or the Jack Purcell variety. Shorts are the most obvious choice for sneakers, but can also be the most difficult to pull off. Shorts and sneakers can appear more gym-worthy, than a casual summer outfit that is perfectly stylish.
For this reason, keep the white sneaker lean and slim looking, worn without socks and low cut in silhouette. With shorts, treat the white sneaker like you would a pair of driving loafers or boat shoes , pairing the footwear with other Sunday-cruising items: a plain fitted tee, comfortable shorts and aviator shades.
Now, go get lost on the open road. From cowboy boots and croc-embossed knee-high styles to two-toned black-and-white options, white kicks are an unexpectedly fresh way to accessorize even the bulkiest of winter ensembles.

We've been programmed to believe that white after Labor Day is tacky, and I think it will take a couple more decades for the 'rule' to completely disappear," Hallay says. In the spirit of breaking fashion rules once and for all, add some white to your fall and winter wardrobe.

White flats and sandals are a classic summertime look. The effect is a breezy, beach-side panache that looks great at summer parties or around town when the heat is high.
But the old rule that you can't wear white after Labor Day no longer applies. Once the weather cools, pairing white shoes with black or gray tights makes shoes pop for a fun, retro look.
Shiny white heels look great with jeans and a dressy top at cocktail parties year-round. Just make sure your white shoes won't be drenched in winter snow or rain, as the color is very unforgiving. One steadfast rule is to never wear white to a wedding unless you're the bride.
If pastels are in your wedding outfit's color scheme, try tan, silver, or gray shoes instead of white. No matter what the season, it's never appropriate to wear white shoes to a somber event such as a funeral. The look is mostly a casual one, and will work most easily for parties and informal events.
