I'm Brian Sacawa, you're watching He Spoke Style, and today,
five ways to wear white sneakers.
This video is sponsored by Coyo, and throughout this video, I'm going to be featuring
this shoe right here. This is the Coyo Capri Triple White, or the Capri Triple White.
I say that because it is handmade in Italy with smooth and durable vitello calf leather.
It's got the margum sole, which is known for being lightweight and extremely durable,
finished with hand-painted edges. It's a very handsome minimal sneaker at a price point that
is much easier to swallow than others in this category. The shoe retails for $248,
free shipping and returns. He Spoke Style viewers can get a free cleaning kit with the purchase of
any Coyo shoes by using code HESPOKESTYLE, all one word. Links down below in the description.
Now, let's take a look at five ways to style white sneakers.
White sneakers themselves are very simple, which makes them incredibly easy to style
and extremely versatile. And up first here is a very clean, simple, and classic look. Probably
the most classic of the five I'm going to show you today. This, to me, is one of those looks that's
so classic and so easy to put together that you almost forget about it. Every piece in this outfit
is an absolute classic, starting with the navy peacoat. This one is by Theory. You can check out
my complete outerwear collection video with the link right up there. Underneath another classic
pairing, we have a white OCBD by Polo Ralph Lauren. And then, layered over that, a gray merino wool
v-neck sweater, which is by J. Crew. One thing to point out here is the balance that the white
shirt creates for the whole outfit. You can see just a little bit of the white shirt up top,
which balances really nicely with the white sneakers. Pants, classic khaki chinos by Bonobos.
And then, on my wrist, we have the Rolex Explorer II. Now, I chose this watch specifically for the
dial, which, again, that little pop of white just helps to bring everything together and make the
entire outfit that much more cohesive. Here, we have an outfit that I would consider to be kind
of luxe casual and a really great example of how to do more with less, but still have a very, very
cohesive and well put together look. Really, aside from the sneakers and the watch on my wrist, we're
dealing with just three pieces here. We have the coat, the turtleneck, and the jeans. So, let's
actually start with the jeans. These are by Michael Andrews Bespoke. Yes, there is such a
thing as bespoke jeans. And if you've ever had difficulty finding a perfect fit, it's something
I definitely recommend checking into. Turtleneck is by Corneliani. It's in a great wool and cashmere
blend. I love the juxtaposition of that fabric paired with the denim. Also, the color contrast
works really well. Coat is by Daniele Alessandrini. Great plaid pattern, subtle, yet still makes a
statement. Watch is the IWC Ingenieur. The final thing I'll say about this look is that I like how
we have these two competing styles coming together. Up top, definitely more dressy with the jacket and
the turtleneck. And then the bottom, we have the jeans and the sneakers. It's a great way to stay
stylish, chic, and sporty. A little bit of a mod approach here in this next look. I wanted to put
together something that was simple, but that had kind of a cool factor to it as well. The way to do
that is to embrace your inner minimalist. Again, not a whole lot of pieces making up this look.
Just goes to show you that sometimes the simplest looks can make the biggest statements. In order to
do that, with the foundation here, I chose to go more or less monochromatic. We have a dark gray or
charcoal gray turtleneck by Uniqlo paired with some black Levi's denim jeans. Now, I didn't go
full-on monochromatic because the sneakers, being white, I thought would have been a little too
jarring had I picked a black coat. So instead, I went with this camel coat by Selected Home to
provide a focal point for the look and to create some balance with the white sneakers. Black jeans
and white sneakers, I think, are a great combo. Maximum contrast there, so balance in an outfit
is important. Two final details to point out here. Sunglasses with the cabernet tinted gradient lenses
are by Moscot. And then on my wrist, we have the Alanga and Zuna datagraph. The dial being kind of
a nod to the contrast of the sneakers and the jeans. You can wear sneakers with a suit, especially
if they're white sneakers, but I think it works just as well, if not better, when you pair them with
suits separates. A suit is more formal, so dressing it down in that way is sort of a high-risk endeavor.
A blazer with trousers, on the other hand, is inherently a little more casual, a little more
sporty. So with the right pieces, I think white sneakers can pair really well and really effortlessly.
The goal here is to emphasize the sporty aspect of this combination. And for me, the way to do that
is through contrast. As you can see, the big contrast we have here are the navy trousers by
Ring Jacket with the white sneakers. Now remember, a contrast like that works best when the rest of
the outfit helps balance it out. The white shirt, which is from the HSS Michael Andrews collection,
provides the most obvious balance here. But then more subtly, we have the chalk stripe of the blazer
helping to tie that all together. A couple accessories worth mentioning here. Putting the
finishing touches on. Glasses are by Cubits. And the watch, we have the Cartier Tank Americaine.
Finally, you know that I always like to throw in something a little funky and maybe a little
unexpected, and that's the situation we have here. This look is definitely along the lines of the
last look, where I'm taking dressier pieces and giving them more of a sportier overall feel with
addition of the white sneakers. Taking it though unapologetically a step further here and upping
the ante with a double-breasted blazer and more of a luxe sweater with the wool and cashmere cable
knit turtleneck. The blazer is from Albazar in Milan. Turtleneck is by Pini Parma. With this
being more of a sporty look, I've decided to not button the double-breasted blazer to take the
formality out of it and to help project some more casual nonchalance. Also, thinking along those
sporty lines, the turtleneck is tucked into my trousers, which are from the HSS Michael Andrews
collection. The lighter color, I think, really lends itself to the feel here, whereas if it were darker,
I'm not sure it would work quite as well. Last detail to mention here, of course, is the watch.
On my wrist, we have the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle. You know, there are so many
different ways to style white sneakers, it was kind of hard to come up with just five to show
you in this particular video. Because it is wintertime now, I did stick to winter outfits
though. I could probably do a video like this for each season. Actually, if you'd like to see that
in the future, let me know down in the comments. I want to thank Coyo once again for sponsoring
