The Classic Trainers I See Every 2 Minutes in London

by Isabel Mundigo-Moore

A commute to work in London is like a fashion parade in disguise. I love spotting what real Londoners wear in their day-to-day lives and discovering trends that don't always pop up on my Instagram feed. It starts by seeing an item once or twice, and then all of a sudden it feels like said piece is taking over London.

Converse trainers are having a moment like this and have been for years. I can't walk down the street without seeing a pair around every corner. In Pret, on the tube, at the pub... They're unstoppable. Of course, Converse sneakers are one of the uncontested classics, but like any classic sneaker, every so often, they trend again.

It's no surprise that yet again they're the go-to for London's fashionable crowd. As the following outfits will prove, they still go with everything. From skirts to jeans and a tee, it's almost impossible to make converse look out of place. Keep scrolling to see how London's most stylish are styling their Converse this season…
