“I bought these American Flag Converse in a shop called Frontrunner in Amsterdam. They were 65 euros. They are my favorite all-stars because you can wear them with almost everything and they are so comfortable.

“I think a good jean, white tee, and these shoes are enough. Normally on the streets you see the black Converse, but these are a little more special. You don’t see them a lot here in Holland.” — Lizzy, Lizzy

Wear it yourself tip: Next time you want to wear sneakers, don’t just reach for your jeans. Try a pant in a different material, like leather, which is unexpected and keeps the sneaker from looking too casual.
