White Slip-On Keds, Yes Or No?

 

Q. White slip-on Keds, Yes or no?

Traci H. has classic style in Milledgeville, Georgia

A. Yes and absolutely! Keds are still a very relevant shoe and brand. The slip-on styles of the 90s are making their way back into the mainstream fashion. The key to wearing them now is making them part of a total look, and if outiftted right can be worn both day and night! I would stick to a classic resort look for day. Try,  a breton stripe tee, skinny jeans with a light trench coat or a linen white dress for a perfect weekend look. A cotton halter dress either solid or printed with with the new Fall style triple bandeau slip-on for an unexpected twist for a fun party look.

Keds are a lifestyle shoe that is meant to be your everyday go-to shoe. So, it's important to keep them looking bright white. Don't compromise on this, because dirty white sneakers are never in style. Here are my two tried and true ways to keep white shoes clean.

What you need: 1 tablespoon baking soda 1/2 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 tablespoon warm water and a small scrub brush (or one of those free toothbrushes from the dentist).

What you do: Mix the ingredients, and then apply the paste with the brush. Gently scrub any stains or discoloration, and let the solution sit for 30 minutes. Rinse with water and voilà—sparkly white kicks.

Don’t have time to break out the elbow grease all over? Focus on just the scuffed rubber soles, and grab a Magic Eraser for a quick solution when you’re in a pinch.
