15 Sleek White Sneakers If You Don't Get the Whole "Dad Shoe" Thing

Sneakers are one shoe style that has evolved tremendously over the years. There are cult-classic brands like Converse, Nike, and Adidas that keep us grounded, and now, fashion girl–approved brands like Yeezy, Fila, and Buffalo. In a time where Hypebae trends are dominating the marketplace, chunky sneakers (you know, those kind of ugly, kind of cool ones) are everywhere, but they definitely aren't for everyone, and that's proving to be an issue.
If this whole "ugly" sneaker trend is kind of freaking you out and you find yourself confused about the kinds of sneakers you can wear that are still cool, we've got you. We shopped out 15 pairs of sleek all-white sneakers that will make winter dressing easier. We can assure you that there is not one chunky sneaker in sight below—just a selection of everyday leather, slip-on, and even platform sneaks. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some good old-fashioned sleek white sneaker shopping.
You'll need a bag to go with those, and Reformation's new $98 handbags will do just the trick.
