If anyone here thinks white minimalist sneakers are "dumb, pointless, meh, whatever, etc" I too used to be anti-white sneakers. I just didn't understand - why not wear nicer shoes instead? Here's the deal: One day it dawned on me that despite having many quality dress shoes, loafers, driving mocs, etc, I kept running into the same dilemma during the warmer seasons. I had no good options for my frequent outings that needed the practicality of athletic shoes but I still wanted to look well put-together. For example, today I went into town for some errands and wanted to look nice, but afterwards I had to go to the Home Depot garden section to pick up a bag of gravel. The fine leather summer loafers I usually like to wear would not be appropriate for this final errand. This is why white leather minimalist sneakers are so useful. They are practical and comfortable enough for Home Depot runs, but still look elevated and presentable enough to go nearly anywhere during the day, a very special combo. I'd now say that white minimalist leather sneakers are the most versatile casual footwear I own for the Spring/Summer. And, I also finally agree with what many have already stated: in the warmer weather, white is the most useful of all the minimalist sneaker colors for daytime casual outfits. I surely resisted this glaring whiteness at first and I missed the whole point of them. I first tried these in various browns, grays, and beiges but in the end, though nothing is wrong with these darker shades, they all just look heavier, less summery, and certainly less sharp and "fresh" than white in the heat. Especially since I wear these almost exclusively in the daytime, white just has the most daytimey uplifting vacation vibe, unlike any other color I own. I must emphasize these are NOT dress shoes, but casual shoes. So if you choose to wear white sneakers with more formal items like blazers, it is still a casual look. However, there is very much a need and place for this. So my final verdict: Ashley is 100% right. Highly recommended. Yes, this comment has been quite a mouthful, but I just want to help people in an area where I had so much initial resistance. PS A cheap magic eraser is great at keeping them clean. If you have a few accidental stains that need serious whitening up, the Saphir White Novelys color restorer is the best I've ever tried. Currently 16 bucks on Amazon. Have a great week my friends.
Why specifically white though? Brown, black, navy, grey, beige/sand would all be better options that look better with most outfits, aren't as contrasting and look less juvenile.
This is great, and your videos have helped me work on my wardrobe a lot, but I feel like it only works in the summer for very few climates. Do you have suggestions for those of us who live in places that get into the 80s,90s, and 100s during the summer? I'd sweat myself right out of any of these in the summer.
I wouldn't wear white sneakers with navy pants unless you're tall. If you're shorter, like I am, having shoes that contrast with your pants makes you look shorter.
I totally agree. 5’5” dude here. I still wear white sneakers with navy or any darker pants tho, I just make sure that my top is same color or shade with my pants. 🙂
@@Aesthetic626 I think you misunderstood me. Navy pants look good with dark shoes on shorter guys, because they don't create a contrast like white or light shoes.
@@schw0373 think that’s the opposite as both navy and dark color sneakers blend with each other unlike wearing white shoes which is the opposite creating constraint of blue with white as shown in the color wheel
The pants you give only work with men who are tall. It never works for short guys. I’ve seen you only go for the business look when you can wear white shoes with street clothes. Don’t box one type of style to all men. Especially those men who cannot afford the look
I don't know anyone who's looking at what another person is wearing that damn hard to notice whether or not their t-shirt is falling "where it should be", whether or not their shoelaces are tucked in , or a damn pocket bulge! Wear what makes you comfortable and go on about living your lives the best way we know how.
As a dog walker white shoes are just not practical for my lifestyle. I do like to be stylish but more on the rugged side of menswear so my clothes will actually last. I opt for black sneakers in canvas or leather in summer and they have the same impact as white IMO. Barefoot shoes are also my new favorites because of their wideness and low weight. They have gotten pretty stylish over the years and no longer look like those abominations that are toe shoes.

At least for the smart casual look, I would say to stay away from Converse. Not that those are necessarily bad, but the LEATHER white low top is the staple when it comes to versatility and style. If you already have those, then yes, you can get the Converse as a plus and use it from time to time I guess. Personally, I would stay away from the high top, only shoes you need that go all the way above the ankle are boots, like some chelsea boots, for example. This is all my opinion, I know you asked the person in the video but just trying to give some advice and help if possible.
90% of these outfits are not good. Few of us Wear this stuff. What about dressing athletic? Ashley needs to go to say S. Beach Miami and see what we are really wearing. Way too conservative
Yeah if you want to look like a dork, flip flops are a joke unless you're at the beach or pool. No other time should they be worn, nobody wants to see a dudes feet

This person is clueless. She thinks her opinion is the be all, end all. She still with that drip of a boyfriend? I don't know who to feel sorry for more, him or her.
@@markmower1746People don’t wear dress sneakers in place of dress shoes. They wear dress sneakers in place of more casual sneakers. Your argument is absurd.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou The term "dress sneakers" is all you need to know for dressing like a failure. And trust me, people, in general wear sneakers as dress footwear.

Too much essay ..i pass it..get a psychiatrist 😂
@@Amantinobecause it's feminim 😂
@Amantino I agree with you. Any minimalist leather sneaker will do, but with more versatility than white.

Don't be delusional. Sports clothing and footwear in particular is convenient and can be worn in public but it has nothing to do with style.

When will there be a video for men's handbags?
Handbags are impractical. Men need their hands freely available to punch bad guys and wrestle bears.
You know nothing

This video actually made me clean my month old white shoes so thanks for the reminder Ashley!
I'm just going to say it..
A pair of white air force ones goes well with everything
White sneakers remind me of the hospital shoes nurses wear….

What do you think of converse style hightops? They seem to come in and out of style.

I’ll never wear white sneakers. White dress buck skins. Heck yeah.
HEY YOU YOU
Im more of a Ben Affleck type of sneaker guy
hey guys. if you want to look and feel like a premium douche, just do what she says.
What is the age cut off for these looks?
Thanks!

this will make me look like the manikins in the mall. Great tips for non straight guys though, again

Looks like this is her idea of a man she wants not the everyday man
Sorry Ashley 50% of these styles are bad. Not 90%. But trucker and farmers jackets? Hemming up our pants to show ankle? Linen shirts? Strange
Well said!
you are better off wearing a pair of flipflops and letting your feet get some air
Yeah if you want to look like a dork, flip flops are a joke unless you're at the beach or pool. No other time should they be worn, nobody wants to see a dudes feet
Love your info…does your advice apply to men over 60 as well?
Wear what you wanna wear regardless of age, don’t let others say you can’t
her advice strictly applies to men over 60, so no worries!
