Every wardrobe should have a pair of these…
There comes a time in every man’s life where you’ll consciously become aware of your own evolution, the age of “man” actually is compiled of different chapters and these chapters all reveal both a change in wisdom, maturity but also your image.
At some point you would need to start “dressing your age” and “dressing like a dad” doesn’t mean you have to enter a realm of a fashion faux-pas, you just need to do it differently.
A key staple of this footwear. The mature man’s wardrobe should include footwear to suit a variety of occasions and work across multiple outfits. Your footwear should be chosen carefully and be versatile such a driving-shoe, loafer, monk-straps and brogues but another staple is the white sneaker.
Smart casual is a tricky grey area for most but one thing we do know is that your Jordans, Yeezys, Stan Smiths and Air Force 1’s are going to have to sit this one out.
We’ve compiled a list of our favourite white sneakers that can be worn to dinner, worn with shorts for a summer pub lunch, with a high-end tracksuit at the airport and everything in between.
Axel Arigato Dice Lo
GBP – £175
The Dice Lo Sneaker presents a modern staple with a vintage-inspired design. The upper combines nubuck and Italian leather, set on a textured branded rubber sole made using partly recycled rubber. The lining is responsibly produced using post-consumer recycled polyester.
ON Roger Centre Court
GBP – £170
The tennis-inspired sneaker with CloudTec® comfort. Developed with Roger Federer.
Lacoste Game Advanced Luxe
GBP – £110
An amped-up take on the stylish court sneaker, the new Game Advance Luxe twins heritage-informed details with a contemporary, streetwear-inspired flair. Leather and suede uppers sit on sculpted outsoles and showcase a creative multi-layered execution for a structured look that plays with the dynamics of textural contrast. Soft-touch leather linings and a moulded rubber crocodile on the quarter underscore the luxurious feel.
Common Projects Retro low
GBP – £350
Common Projects’ minimal designs go with just about anything – this ‘Retro Low’ model, for instance, works just as well with jeans as it does relaxed tailoring. They’re made from leather and have contrasting heel tabs, gold stamped serial numbers and stitching at the sides.
LV Beverly Hills
GBP – £675
The Beverly Hills Trainers are crafted from supple, grained calf leather, which is embossed with the iconic Monogram pattern. The natural calf leather trim at the back recalls that used on Louis Vuitton Leather Goods. This model is distinguished by its ultra-light, white rubber outsole, debossed with the House signature.
Christian Louboutin Rantulow
GBP – £545
“Rantulow” is a casual classic. In latte grained leather, this structured lowtop adds a touch of red sole refinement to your laid-back look.
Brunello Cucinelli Calf Skin
GBP – £690
Refined Brunello Cucinelli leathers enrich the casual and versatile attitude of these sneakers. The semi-polished calfskin showcases a smooth, even and compact texture that carries the season’s colours with an intense effect. The detail of the grooves that run along the back of the ultra-lightweight EVA bottom and the custom-designed tread complete the style of this footwear.
