Largely, we have Phoebe Philo to thank, who, in 2011, famously stepped out in a cashmere roll-neck (hair artfully tucked), a pair of slim-cut black jeans and some beat-up white Stan Smiths to take her bow after her fourth Céline show. With this in mind, be sure to follow Vogue’s definitive guide on how to care for them properly. Whether you opt for something technical that can tackle any number of long hikes, like Salomon’s XT-6, something with It-girl appeal, like Dries Van Noten’s streamlined leather trainers, or you’re looking for something suitable for your long runs, like On’s Cloud Runner – which is a current favourite amongst avid runners – there’s a white trainer for every style and hobby in our carefully-curated edit.
