Which white sneakers should you choose for a chic, casual outfit? Our selection.

You like to be distinguished but not to the point of wearing stiff Oxfords or loafers every day. So you're looking for a nice pair of white sneakers that are cool and comfortable.

That's good, we have what you need . To show you our selection of sneakers in context, we went to meet the team of the organic cotton shirt brand Les Optimistes for a photoshoot on Boulevard Haussmann. To find out more about them, don't hesitate to visit their website lesoptimistes.fr .

So, between minimalist , sporty or versatile design, the choice is yours.

The most minimalist of white sneakers

This is our Sport 3.0 - Full White Edition design. Working on balance, perceptions of volume and curves, we have worked it with the fewest possible inserts to highlight the natural perspective of the foot .

The minimalism of its design, mixed with a choice of smooth white Italian leather, gives it all its elegance. This is the pair we recommend , if you want to wear it with a classic or business suit . It is worn here with an organic cotton poplin shirt from Les Optimistes and a Sandro suit.

The sportiest of white sneakers

This is our latest design: the Life 1.0 - White Black Edition . Slightly more closed on the ankle than its predecessors, it reinterprets the iconic codes of the sneaker with a set of inserts specific to Garçonne & Chérubin.

Between technicality and aesthetic research, the accumulation of inserts gives it a style specific to the codes of sportswear which highlight the reinforcement points relating to the tension generated by walking or running.

Handcrafted from white and black Italian leather (also available in white and navy ), the Life 1.0 is a high-end pair of sneakers ideal for urban life.

The most versatile white sneaker

The Life 1.0 - Ice White Edition . Versatile for one simple reason: you can wear it with any type of outfit .

For what ?

Because with these inserts, it takes on iconic sneaker codes, and it is sporty enough to go with your casual or even streetwear outfits . And at the same time, the choice of smooth white "icy" leather, matched with a subtly off-white sole makes it simple and elegant enough to easily pair with a suit .

Whether you wear it casual or streetwear, it's easy . Whatever your style, the results will be perfect.

With a suit, it's more technical, but it's possible! For that, we recommend a 7/8th cut, very slightly carrot, high waist (especially if you're not taller than 1m80). And if possible, look for cuts that are a little looser than your Levi's 501, and choose tailored pants (with a pleat along the leg), this will elegantly structure your legs.

Here is an example of pieces that would lend themselves well to this style (even if they are worn here with a pair of loafers).

Pro-tip 1 : If you're looking for an outfit that's chic and elegant, avoid cuts that are too tight/fitted, and/or too low-rise, which are very fast-fashion. They prioritize style over practical comfort and are not very durable (neither in terms of style nor in terms of quality).

Pro tip 2 : Do what you like. In the end, that's what matters: clothes that make you feel good.

Pro-tip 3 : If you like to play with cuts, volumes and style registers, Nick Wooster is an interesting inspiration.
