Celebrities Wearing White Sneakers: Tracee Ellis Ross

White velcro sneakers, like these Steffey velcro-strap leather trainers from Acne Studios, complement just about everything. Plus, they’re easy to put on and take off — and you never have to worry about tripping over undone laces. Ross wore her velcro kicks with a pair of billowy track pants, a red top, and black jacket. You can go this same low-key but still dressy route or style the velcro sneakers with your favorite matching workout set.

Celebrities Wearing White Sneakers: Jennifer Lopez

Chunky white sneakers, like these Alexander McQueen Oversized Sole pair, and printed pants were practically made for each other. Wearing a platform option, like how J.Lo opted for, will add some height to your frame, but in small enough doses that won’t attract too much attention like a gravity-defying platform heel might. Style your thick-sole white sneaker pick with a maxi dress, so the hemline doesn’t completely graze the floor.

Celebrities Wearing White Sneakers: Hailey Bieber

Bieber's outfit from luxury fashion brand STAND STUDIO is what monochromatic dreams are made of. Frankly, it's your blueprint to wearing one of Pantone's colors of the year: Illuminating. Her crisp and clean pair of Nike Air Force 1s, which just so happened to match her husband’s own shoes, didn’t distract your focus on her cheerful outfit. Lesson here: When your look has a lot of color, white kicks will not disturb your outfit’s flow.

Celebrities Wearing White Sneakers: Katie Holmes

Celebrities such as Sophie Turner and Jennifer Aniston love the simplicity of the Common Projects Original Achilles leather sneaker. The Italian-made shoe is built to last and its smooth finish makes it the perfect choice for pairing with any outfit. Holmes chose to wear hers with a double-breasted coat and pair of trousers. This sneaker would work with everything from a pantsuit to a summer floral midi dress.

Chunky dad sneakers aren’t going out of style anytime soon, so it’s time to lace up. These shoes go great with your favorite tracksuit or matching athleisure set. If you’re not into the loungewear look, no sweat, give your sporty kicks a second life by pairing them with flare pants and a formfitting crop top when you want to switch gears.
