We've got the coolest white sneakers of 2023—inspired by Lily Collins' street style.

It wasn't long ago that everyone was talking about all the things Millennials were killing—American cheese, the housing market, parenthood, marriage—you name it, we nixed it.

But Gen-Z has taken over. After nixing the skinny jean, they've decided to give the beloved bootie the boot. White sneakers have stepped in and taken the place of the now "cheugy" booties.

Lily Collins may be a Millenial, but the Emily in Paris star is totally on board with the trend. Collins looked so cozy while out on a coffee run with her husband, Charlie McDowell, in SoHo early this month. She sported a pom-pom hat, sweater, long warm trench and crisp white pants. But her feet stole the show. Collins wore white sneakers with a pretty coral New Balance logo.

The white sneak is basic...albeit a little risky, because it can get dirty. But it goes with anything and is comfy and practical to boot. And what Gen-Z says on TikToks goes these days, people. So, start 2023 on the right foot with these white sneaks.
