The iconic Converse One Star has been in production since 1974, and has remained virtually unscathed at the top of its game throughout the generations. 

During the grunge scene of the 1990s, the silhouette was reborn from courtside shoe to the epitome of anti-fashion, with the personification of the movement - Kurt Cobain - an avid wearer of the One Star. The plaid shirts and ripped jeans of the 90s may have dipped in and out of the mainstream since then, but the One Star has remained at the forefront of casual style, the go-to sneaker for rockstars and rule-breakers. 

One Stars are the type of shoe to look off-the-chart cool without trying. However, to give your sneaks a 21st century reboot, here are some stylish ways to wear your One Stars this summer. 

Rockstar attitude sold separately. 
 

Sock it up

Give your One Stars an extra dose of attitude with some IDGAF socks. The brighter the better - who says you have to fade into the background? We’ve got loads of effortlessly cool designer socks , all of which exude some serious cool-girl style when paired with Converse. 
 

Choose Checks

Channel some plaid 90s vibes with a pair of checked trousers. Team with your One Stars and you’ve got yourself a grunge-worthy guise that takes no compromises. 
 

Be Bright

Converse One Stars are icons of counter-culture - just ask any member of the rock royalty that’s donned a pair over the years. Pair yours with some bright colours and make your mark with these classic kicks. 
 
 
Don’t Shy Away from Patterns

The only imagery to grace the upper of the Converse One Star is the iconic star on the side. This means that they don’t clash with patterns (although you shouldn’t be afraid of a bit of colour clashing!), so feel free to express yourself with dots, stripes, florals and any other decorations that catch your eye.
