Canvas plimsolls like these have been around forever and there's a reason for it -- you don't mess with a classic. When a style has been popular for like 100 years, you've got to give props to the original design. These plimsolls from Fred Perry take that advice to heart. They're basically the straight-forward classic version, with white canvas uppers, tartan green accents and the famous laurel logo, so you know that you're a classy gent.

Plimsolls might be a staple for anyone who plays a weekly tennis match with someone named Buffy, but the classic tennis shoes have style potential far beyond country club preppiedom. White shoes are great because they tend to catch the eye -- and land you lots of compliments.

I recommend rocking these babies with white jeans this spring, if you're feeling up to it. It may be a bold choice, but you'll freak all of your friends out with how refined and sophisticated you look.
