You see them on your way to class, at concerts, theme parks, and even on game day. Now, they’re New York Fashion Week’s must-have spring staple: white converse. The Chuck Taylor classic sneaker was celebrated for its effortless vibe as it complimented Adam Selman’s 2015-2016 Spring/Summer Collection.
Call us Clueless, but Selman’s newest collection showed fashion watchers and style bloggers alike that the '90s comeback is still in full swing at NYFW. Water color pastels, slouchy jeans, and chokers also made an appearance, but it was the low-top Converse that stole the show. Adam Selman first gained notoriety designing costumes and custom clothes for A-List celebrities like Rihanna. It’s a great business decision to move from custom designs to ready-wear—who doesn’t want to look like Rihanna?
While prints, patterns, and colors of Converse come and go, the white and black styles remain timeless. To keep an outfit from looking too try-hard or put together, drop the heels or strappy sandals and throw on a pair of classic white high-tops. Heading out to a day party in a pair of your favorite cutoffs? The black low-tops are your go-to.
College students are some of Converse's top brand ambassadors, but if you haven’t hopped on the high-top bandwagon, now is the time to commit. No other accessory in your closet will be more reliable or more versatile. Even as time goes on, collections retire, and the '90s trend becomes so last-season, your Converse will remain classic.
