Converse trainers are the comeback shoe trend of the season
It's true what they say, fashion moves in 20-year cycles. The latest style to enjoy a resurgence? Why it's every millenial's favourite Converse trainers, of course! Leading the way as a must-have for spring/summer 2025, the shoe of years gone by is making a mega comeback for the new season – and given their paramount importance in our teenage wardrobes (alongside Vans and ballet flats), we're very much here for it.
It's about time the retro trainer was back on the fashion agenda, and with the style set already embracing the Converse revival and providing plenty of styling inspiration, rest assured that is won't be a flash-in-the-pan trend, but rather a new staple in your footwear rotation. Plus, of course, the best-dressed French and Scandi women have never stopped wearing theirs...
The cool-girl alternative to fresh white trainers or influencer-approved adidas Sambas, Converse provide the perfect lowkey finishing touch to any daytime look. The iconic Converse high-tops pair well with everything from midi dresses to denim, while platform styles add edge to feminine skirts and dresses and low-tops make an easy swap for ballet flats.
For more ideas on how to wear Converse trainers, look to model Alexa Chung, who was among the first to welcome back the humble sneakers with open arms last summer and has been pretty much living in them ever since.
Our Fashion Editor, Jodie Dunworth, is a firm fan too. 'Sometimes only a classic will do, so make sure there’s a pair of Converse high-top trainers in your shoe collection,' she said. 'Their timeless shape looks great with everything from skirts and dresses to straight-leg jeans and track pants.'
Whether you're a high or low-top lover, prefer a classic or chunky sole, or opt for leather over canvas, reacquaint yourself with the Converse trainers lurking in a box under your bed and thank us later.
