Sneakers go everywhere — gym, errands, brunch, travel — and the right pair looks as good with jeans as it does with leggings. Here are 12 worth buying.
My top pick: A clean white leather or leather-look sneaker with a cushioned insole and a minimal silhouette is the pair to own — white goes with everything, leather cleans easily, and a minimal shape never looks dated.
