These white sneakers make any outfit instantly chic

I remember the exact moment I was sold on sneakers as the secret to making any outfit effortlessly cool. In 2015, I saw a designer bow at the end of her show wearing baggy pants paired with plain white sneakers – and immediately decided to buy my own pair. Almost a decade later, the styling trick remains my favorite. There's nothing easier than pairing a sleek dress or baggy jeans with a simple pair of kicks for a nonchalant yet chic vibe. The last pair that seduced me? ECCO'S SOFT 7, a luxurious yet reasonably priced take on the wardrobe staple.

If you are not familiar with ECCO, it is a brand based in Denmark. That alone gives her fashionable credibility in my book – just look at one of the street style photos from Copenhagen Fashion Week to prove the power of Scandi-girl style. Minimal and elegant, these sneakers perfectly embody the cool-girl vibe: relaxed, luxurious and classic. But I don't just love them for their looks; they're also incredibly comfortable, making them an easy choice whether you're on vacation or commuting to work. Need more conviction? Let me get down to business on why these sneakers need to be in your wardrobe.
