I Need Versatile White Sneakers—I Love These Celeb-Approved Pairs at Nordstrom

I may live in a tiny Brooklyn apartment, but somehow, I can always squeeze one more pair of sneakers into my footwear lineup. The versatility of simple white sneakers often makes them the first thing I reach for when I'm getting dressed, but the styles I've relied on for the last few years have gotten so much wear that I'm ready to see what else is out there. No matter how much I'll have to shuffle my closet around to make room for some new additions, in the spirit of resolutions, I'm ready for a fresh start.

As a shopping editor who spends lots of time hunting for the latest and greatest options, I often find myself looking to the celebrities who inspire me for ideas that feel especially fresh. Instead of my usual Sambas, Jennifer Lawrence's simple Gazelle sneakers have quickly become a style on my radar. Similarly, Sofia Richie's Maison Margiela sneakers are a bit on the pricier side, but their ability to strike a balance between minimal and unique means that I'll be able to wear them for years to come. 

Below, I found the celebrity-approved sneakers that I'm adding to my cart, and I scoured Nordstrom's new arrivals to find the rest of the best new white sneakers to consider for my collection. They all may have their color in common, but trust me—like snowflakes, they are unique in their own ways.

Richie is the epitome of casual cool in a white tee and slouchy denim. She styled the look with a pair of white Maison Margiela sneakers that have both leather and suede detailing.
