Rainy season is upon us! Atleast
here in the Philippines. You know what that means? That omnipresent white
sneakers that is largely associated with the athleisure trend may not be appropriate
anymore (maybe for some days). Splashing puddles in your Stan Smiths or triple
white Huaraches (see the looks here)? NO, NO, NO. Trust me, I bought this highly recommended cleaner
in Singapore last January but never really got the time to clean my shoes. :-/
So in what I would say a
temporary adieu to my white sneakers, I’ve collated these looks on how I wore
them to work for the last six months. As a bonus, I’ve added tips on how to
make them work-appropriate. Atleast for casual Fridays? Check out these looks
on how to elevate your white sneakers to work.
#1 Dress it up with a midi-length
skirt or dress. You can always start with the basic colors (black or gray).

playful take at work.

#4 Shirtdress. It’s versatility
is endless. You should really invest in this timeless piece. Glad I found mine
from this trip.
