Ouyang Nana

Though black and white pieces are the most obvious neutrals to pair your pristine kicks with, sweet pastel wardrobe basics like this pink denim jacket add an unexpected feminine and romantic vibe to the outfit.

Tip: If you are working with colourful pieces, choose one hue and mix it with a clean white palette so the colour pops just like Ouyang Nana’s pink-on-white get-up. When choosing your pair of white kicks, find one with an accent colour that matches the rest of your ensemble.

You can’t always emulate all of the celebrity off-duty outfits but Chinese actress Ouyang Nini’s cute-but-comfy chunky Balenciaga Triple S, oversized graphic tee and black crossbody ensemble is super easy to pull off.

Tip: While chunky “dad” sneakers might seem a little intimidating, they are actually more versatile than you think. You can style your chunky sneakers with anything from flirty short dresses and skirts to elegant jumpsuits to sporty track pants.

White sneakers are not just meant for the weekends. They work just as well for outfits that can be dressed up with pumps as they do for outfits that can be worn with pointy-toe flats.

Tip: Elevate your basic black or white tee and skinny jeans combo to new heights with a pair of white sneakers that has an unexpected element like a metallic leather accent.
