Converse high tops and skinny jeans? Yes, people are still rocking them.

I only recently got my first pair of high-top Converse sneakers which were a new look for me.

Best ways to style your Converse high top sneakers and skinny jeans
Some do’s and don’t for wearing your Converse high tops with your skinny jeans:
- If you want them to be visible roll your jean cuffs so that the jeans sit right above the high top.
2. Balance proportions. Skinny jeans normally look better with a looser fit on your top half so it’s not an entirely skin tight look.
3. Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color and to play with color e.g. bright chucks or a bright top.
4. If you’re Converse are patterned keep the rest of your outfit simple and vice-versa.
5. Skip overly baggy jeans: Slim fit or skinny jeans tend to look better than long baggy jeans which end up just looking sloppy with Chucks and covers them too much.
6. Cropped skinny jeans mean you can see the top of your high tops.
7. Lace as normal but skip the top few holes and tie under the tongue so you can see All Star on the tongue.
8. Do add your own personal style with the belt, bag and jewelry you style your outfit with.
9. Don’t be afraid to make the look more glam and feminine. It doesn’t have to be punk.
Kaia Gerber definitely knows how to rock a Converse outfit.
Converse and jeans outfit ideas
Here’s some outfit ideas to get the most wear out of your converse shoes. You can also recreate a lot of these looks with denim shorts instead for Spring/Summer:
Double denim is still in style and still one of my favorite outfits. It’s an easy, casual but on trend outfit idea. Whether that’s jeans and a denim jacket or jeans and a sexier denim bustier top.
Make sure the denim washes are a perfect match for the most cohesive, put together look. Don’t feel like you have to just wear blue denim for this look. It works just as well with white or black denim too.
For classic Converse style for the warm weather you can never go wrong with jeans and a t-shirt.
Add a moto leather jacket over your t-shirt for an edgier look. It’s probably my favorite way to style Chuck Taylor All Stars for a casual look on cooler days.
Style them with cropped skinny jeans, a bralette top and blazer for a balanced look with a smart casual element.
Skinny jeans + high top converse + a long oversized coat like a trench coat or faux fur coat adds texture and retro glam.
Layer a shorter sweater over a tank top for easy layering.
Converse high tops with skinny jeans and a hoodie is perfect for running errands.
For a flattering look, style black converse with black skinny jeans, a black t-shirt and black moto jacket.
For Summer copy the whole look above but in white with a pair of white converse high tops.
White jeans plus white Converse high tops looks fresh for summer with a white tank top and blazer or white-t-shirt.
I also personally love styling my high-top sneakers with a mini or maxi dress for a more feminine look that’s cooler for the Summer.

If you’ve never owned Converse and are wondering if they’re comfortable shoes, I’ve heard the flats aren’t very comfortable as the soles are so thin. They’re definitely more of a ‘look’ than athletic shoes. However, because the wedges have a super thick sole and are a chunky sneaker, I personally find them really comfortable but suggest sizing down half to a whole size in that style.
