Why you should wear it
Although the all-white shoe trend emerged in 2014, its popularity has yet to peak and shows no signs of stopping. At the risk of sounding like a broken tape recorder, white goes with everything - from the loudest prints and patterns to the most pared-back, minimalist of outfits.
How to style white shoes is not a problem, but keeping them clean is.
Here are some tips on how to keep them pristine:
• Protect new fabric shoes with a coat of stain- and water-repellent spray, such as a Scotchgard spray. Spray a new coat every few weeks for maintenance.
• When airing white leather shoes, avoid leaving them under direct sunlight as it might cause the leather to crack and peel.
• To restore shine to patent leather shoes, use a leather cleaner that has silicone in it.
