Luxe to Less: White Sneakers

Words By Katelyn Kalafatis

The simple white sneaker made for every day.

Luxe

Picking perfect, plain white trainers is no easy feat. The most basic item tends to be the most popular when it comes to pulling together your everyday wardrobe and so you may just burn through your trusty white kicks a lot earlier than you may think.

Whether it be a few months or years, sometimes ensuring longevity means adding a little luxury to your wardrobe. So, we here at Monde (who want to make sure you get the most out of your next purchase) have hand-picked some of the best designer sneakers on the fashion footwear market, guaranteed to wear well and look even better.

With many of the luxury brands getting in on the athleisure footwear scene, you’ll be happy to hear we’ve included in our curation some fabulous sneakers from some the finest, including Givenchy, Balenciaga and Saint Laurent.

In a global pandemic where our everyday wear is scaled right back to accommodate staying at home, the minimalist white sneaker is a must-have piece for every woman’s wardrobe.

One of or favourites in recent years, the French brand Veja, combines modern designs with sustainable materials to create uber-chic trainers that will last the distance.

The trainers featured in our “Less” category are the perfect concoction of style, comfort and affordability. These options are ideal for the woman who wants to ensure she doesn’t sacrifice quality in the name of a looming budget but also isn’t afraid of splurging on something that will become a go-to staple for the foundation of her working week to weekend wardrobe.

Seeking comfort and style doesn’t mean sacrificing your set budget. Some of the most popular fashion basics bought throughout history live in double-digits territory.

If any brand can be considered an example of this in the women’s casual footwear category, it’s Adidas. The Super Star/Stan Smith family have ruled the plain white sneaker game for years now and it’s not hard to understand why.

The super stylish and super comfy staple will never cease to appear on the feet of women, men and children of all ages, as it’s the perfect short-term purchase that won’t do long-term damage to the family bank account.
