Don’t tell the sneakerheads, but you need really only one solid pair of kicks to make your closet sing—and the best white sneakers are the perfect place to start. The versatility of the classic standbys (once known as tennis shoes) cannot be understated; they’re essentially blank canvases for your feet. And every few months a new, trendy pair pops up—we’re seeing tons of Salomons and Vejas, along with the ever-popular Adidas Sambas—but these street-style kicks are truly trend-proof. For example, the Reebok Club C 85, Superga 2750 Cotu Classic, and Tretorn Nylite have been touchstones for decades now. Plus, white sneakers are impossible to “mess up” in terms of styling; whether you’re wearing them with straight-leg jeans and an oversized hoodie, or a spring dress, they provide just the right mix of all-day comfort and tried-and-true style.
Below, our editors share the pairs they’ve tested for miles (without getting any blisters), traveled with, and yes, worn to more formal affairs. From the sporty Converse high-tops Glamour's Visuals Director adores, to trendy TikTok picks cosigned by Kate Middleton, you'll find a highly-reviewed pair to suit your wardrobe here.

Here’s my honest reviewBest Overall White Sneakers: Reebok Club C 85
Original photo by Andrea Navarro, Glamour commerce writer
Reebok has had a resurgence in the last few years, and its Club C 85 sneakers are leading the charge. Playing off classic tennis shoes, these perforated leather low-tops work with a number of comfy-chic outfits and offer full-foot support so you can wear them all day long. “Ever since I bought myself a pair of Reebok Club Cs during a Black Friday sale, all other white sneakers have been collecting dust in my closet,” says Anna Moeslein, deputy editor at Glamour. “These have carried me through fall, winter, spring, and now summer because they really are that good. It’s because they’re so versatile—they sit perfectly just below the ankle, which makes them work with just about any pants style, cropped or otherwise, as well as skirts, dresses, and shorts.” (Glamour shopping writer Andrea Navarro is also a big fan.)

Most Stylish White Leather Sneakers: Nike Blazer Mid ’77
Original photo by Brigitt Earley, Glamour writer
These Nike classics come in two heights, but we especially love the high-top option paired with skirts and cropped jeans. “I wear my Nike Blazers every day,” says Glamour contributor Brigitt Earley. “I'm entirely obsessed with them because they go with everything—jeans or leggings—and offer such a clean look that’s casual yet cool. I typically pair them with crew socks. My favorites are a pair that has a little embroidered heart on them—it’s the cutest combo. Pro tip: These shoes can be tricky to get on. If you don't have the patience for that, swapping out the laces for an elastic pair really helps. Now I can slip them right on.”
Material: Leather, suede / Sizes: 5–12 / Price: $$ / Versatility: Very versatile / Durability: Strong
- Pros: Durable leather uppers; extremely versatile design
- Cons: Can be tough to slip on
- Styling tip: Wear them with crew socks that just poke out of the top; white and black look cleanest, but don’t be afraid to try other colors or patterns.
