The 13 Coolest White Sneakers For Spring & Summer That'll Keep You Looking Fresh All Season

Nobody cares about the old "no white after Labor Day" rule anymore, but occasionally you have to admit there might have been a good reason for the rule. It's pretty much impossible to wear white sneakers in the winter without completely ruining them in the dirty slush and mud. That's why, now that spring has finally arrived, white sneakers are suddenly the only thing we want to put on our feet (until it gets hot enough for barely-there sandals, anyway). It's been a long winter, but white sneakers are finally here to stay... for a few months at least. They go great with every outfit, whether your style is girly, sporty, minimal, or classic.

So let's make the most of this glorious white sneaker weather while it's here. Check out our round-up of a dozen of this season's hottest white sneakers for every budget.

Minimalist Platforms

Platform Sneakers, $15, H&M

H&M has the best collection of affordable white sneakers. These are also available in off-white lace (and a variety of other colors and patterns) and will give you some extra height without being too showy about it.

Leather Laces

AEO Lace Up Sneaker, $30, AEO

The little touch of leather laces keeps these white sneakers from being dull.

A Touch of Florals

Belmont SO T, $55, K Swiss

The Belmont sneaker comes in a lot of different varieties; the floral stripes design is perfect for spring but I also love the red and blue stripes for summer.

Classic Plimsolls

Leather Plimsoll, $70, Zara

Simple and minimal. Fresh and clean. They’ll go seamlessly with everything in your wardrobe.

Lace

AEO Crocheted Slip-On Sneaker, $30, AEO

Pull on a day dress, slip these sneakers on, and you’re suddenly the picture of springtime femininity.

Pop of Color

Adidas Originals Stan Smith Shoes, $75, A didas

This classic tennis shoe with its perfect pop of green will never go out of style.

Superstar

Adidas Originals Superstar, $80, C hamps

Another classic that will never die, and will always look chic.

Red Heart

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ‘70 Play Comme de Garçons, $125, Azalea

Everyone loves a good pair of Converse sneakers, but why not make yours stand out from the crowd? Play Converse, with their quirky little heart, can be hard to find but they’re worth it. Look for both the low-top and high-top version and remember they’re unisex so you may have to order a men’s size.

Minimal with Gold

Asics Onitsuka Tiger Lawnship Leather Sneaker, $90, Lord & Taylor

These sneakers are as fresh and simple as they come, but the tiny hints of gold keep them from being boring.

Blue Suede Shoes

New Balance 300 White/Royal Blue Suede Sneakers, $37, Asos

The blue and white color combo of these sneakers just screams “SUMMER.”

Gold Touch

Michael Kors Irving Lace Up Sneakers, $125, M acys

These sneakers have just the right amount of sophistication to make them perfect for any occasion.

Serious Height

Ash Cult Yellow Lace-Up Platform Sneakers, $215, Urban Outfitters

These amazing platform sneakers are not kidding around. And how great is that unexpected pop of yellow?

'80s Details

Nasty Gal x Vans Step Up Sk8-Hi Leather Platform Sneaker, $90, Nasty Gal

The black squiggle print is supremely cool.
