Fashion

There’s no denying the effortlessly chic appeal of a white shoe. At once timeless and fashion-forward, a pair of white pumps, boots or flats can add interest to even the simplest outfits – perfect for days when you’re feeling sartorially uninspired – and make statement colors and prints pop, too. What’s not to love? Here, we round up the chicest styles to add to your rotation now…

Pumps

White pumps are the unsung hero of any well-edited wardrobe, adding polish and a modern edge to workweek tailoring and off-duty denim alike. Their chameleonic design means they work whatever your style, be it sleek and understated or emphatically maximalist. In terms of silhouette, kitten-heel styles with razor-sharp pointed toes like Gucci’s ‘Vittoria’ slingbacks and Bottega Veneta’s ‘Vesta’ mules are a favorite among the street-style set this season.

Flats

White flats were a hit over the summer, with the likes of Alexa Chung, Rosalia, Charlize Theron and PORTER cover star Simone Ashley all proving just how effortlessly they can pull a look together. But they aren’t just a one-season wonder – they look chic worn with fall looks, too. Try styling Loewe’s jazz-inspired Derby shoes with slouchy gray pants and an oversized knit during the day or a matching white mini dress in the evening. Alternatively, keep things classic with a pair of loafers from The Row or ballet flats by Bottega Veneta and Jimmy Choo.

Boots

White boots may feel like more of a statement than heels or flats, but they are easier to wear than you might think. A block-heeled ankle boot by Jil Sander or Le Monde Béryl will add a ’60s space-age feel to denim and tailoring while McQueen’s lace-up knee boots – revived from the archive – come with corset-inspired leather laces and plenty of attitude. Wear them during the day with a knitted midi dress and an oversized trench.
