The modern white shoe appeal is in that hint of bad taste, knowing rebellion, the intrinsic challenge of wearing a white heel and looking elegant or sexy rather than desperate or misjudged. The recent renaissance is less than just challenging trad Essex girl clichés, more so accepting that wearing a white shoe feels fresh and unexpected.
Embrace white shoes, enjoy the (near impossible) challenge of keeping them box fresh and cleanse your sartorial palette accordingly.
