These White Sneakers Let You Look Expensive Without Breaking the Bank

Every man needs at least one pair of white sneakers. They're the shoe that goes with just about everything—you can wear them with jeans, shorts, dress pants, khakis. You can wear them to the bodega or the office or the beach or dinner. So long as they aren't too scuffed and gray, white sneakers are a classy classic that can make you look a lot sharper than a sneaker of any other color can.

For something that makes you look expensive and tasteful, white sneakers are pretty damn affordable. Sure, you have your luxe designer pairs for hundreds of bucks, but you also have infallible icons that have withstood the test of time (and many, many trend cycles). Adidas, for instance, has sleek Gazelles and sporty Stan Smiths, two styles that round out any wardrobe. Reebok has a cool vintage-inspired pair, New Balance knows that the dad shoe is more in than ever, and Cariuma makes some of the comfiest and most versatile kicks on the market.

There's a wide range of white kicks you can shop, but the ones here are all under $100. Looking sharp doesn't have to feel expensive.

What's more classic than a pair of white Nikes? These are versatile as hell, meaning whether you pair them with jeans, shorts, or even chinos, you can step out in confidence.

I know, I know—these are closer to off-white, but they're so damn stylish, I couldn't not add them to the list. The dad shoe has gotten a trendy revamp in recent years, so wearing these out of function means you're also fashionable.
