Chic women over 50 have crowned classic white sneakers as the “It” summer shoe. Earlier this month, Nicole Kidman posted on Instagram sporting a pair, and yesterday, Julia Roberts stepped out in New York City wearing what I’m almost 99 percent certain is a pair of white Adidas Stan Smith sneakers.
Roberts styled her white sneakers with denim shorts, a crossbody bag, and a black button-down top for a midday stroll with her son. The outfit wasn’t exactly revolutionary, but it was a perfect example of why everyone needs a pair of white sneakers in their closet.
A good pair of comfy neutral sneakers like Roberts’s can fly under the radar in the best way. You can throw them on with anything to look a touch more polished and put-together, thanks to the fresh, all-white exterior.
And, if they are a trusty pair of Adidas Stan Smith sneakers, Roberts joins the very elite club of chic people wearing cool Adidas sneakers this summer (Julianne Moore, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Obama). Shop white sneakers from the brand, plus similar styles, below.
