Long gone are the days when
sketchers were only for tomboys or sports fanatics, Converse are back on the
street. They look great with almost
anything and oh so comfy. Without socks or with tights, at night or during the
day, on the beach or at a club, Converse are a unifying shoe: everyone loves
them. Worn on fashionistas like Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss, they
show up in magazines from Elle to US Weekly.

Elevate denim cutoffs
Plaid shirts are back in fashion
and can be worn with denim cut offs with converse shoes for a look on a sunny
day. Low tops converse can be paired with sheer black thigh high socks and
denim shorts to create a pretty cool evening look. When pairing your converse
with denim pieces, opt for skinny jeans to let the sneakers stand-out. Add an
extra-cool feel by finishing the look with a trendy cropped sweater in a bold
colour, or try a preppy, striped tee.

Maxi with Converse
For an effortless relaxed style try pairing your maxi skirt
or dress with converse sneakers. Black maxi skirts with high slits really go
well with converse sneakers, similarly striped maxi dresses work well with
white or black converse shoes while colored converse shoes balance neutrals
like grey maxi dresses or skirts.

Short skirts
For those night outs that you
want to dance till dawn perhaps swapping those sky scraping heels for a pair of
converse with your short skirt may be a good idea. During cold seasons you can
pair a short skirt, some leggings (bright colours if you are bold) and some
converse for a warm yet trendy look. Another great way is throwing on a chunky
sweater on top of your mini skirt with converse shoes. I love Varsity jackets
more so if worn with a short skirt and converse shoes as it is such a relaxed
look.

Converse Chic
Who said you can’t look chic with converse? If you are like
me and are into leggings be they leather or denim then fear not you can still
do converse and achieve an overall chic look with an irreverent touch. You can
do black converse, black leggings and black top all tied together with an
animal print jacket. Black skinny jeans with snug fit leather jacket, silk
scarf and black converse will also give you a chic look.

Dresses with converse
Converse are make a perfect
relationship with girly summer dresses — take the prettiest of dresses and tone
them down using converse. Don't be
afraid to wear your Converse sneakers with your favorite girly items. Try a
short dress in a feminine print, and layer on a cardigan or denim jacket for an
easy/cool look. If you're really daring, scrunch on a pair of lace-trimmed
ankle socks, or patterned leg wear with this ensemble. Balance the boyish
sneaker with extra-girly accessories. Wearing charm bracelets, layered
necklaces, wide or skinny belts, and fancy earrings are great ways to play with
your style.
