Fact: There's one pair of sneakers that we will never get rid of—Converse. But as with everything that becomes a wardrobe staple, it can get a little boring. How do you wear Converse over and over without getting tired of how they look? Thankfully, there is a load of our favourite street stylers who often wear the sneakers with various different outfits.

Keep scrolling for 10 ideas on how to wear your sneakers that prove no fashion girl will ever chuck these out of her wardrobe.
