Tara Swennen, Kristen Stewart’s Stylist, Answers: How To Pull Off Converse Sneakers

 
Can someone who’s more preppy (and not punky) pull off a pair of Converse sneakers? If so, what should they wear them with?“Converse is the universal “All American” sneaker — it’s great for anyone from teenage kids to soccer moms.
Try pairing a white low-top or slip-on with a capri skinny jean or a cuffed cropped chino — both looks paired with a classic tee, plaid shirt or classic white button down give you a casual and timeless look. You can also play up certain colors or accents in your outfit (scarves, bag, etc…) by matching them to the fun prints that Converse offer.”
I have a very classic look, and I like keeping my style simple and elegant but I want to try some of the new fall trends, like colored denim, flares, leather. How can I do so without changing my whole entire look?“All of these pieces can be used in a simple and elegant style:
With colored denim: simply opt for less vibrant colors — there are beautiful neutral tones and olives that are little less crazy than neons and bright rainbow colors that will be easier to pair with your wardrobe staples.
For flares: the trick is simply to make sure the flare is the appropriate width for your frame and not too overwhelming. When skimming the floor and paired with a super high heel, this look can be one of the most elongating and flattering looks in a pant on anyone.
Leather: The key to leather is simply not going overboard with it and choosing cuts that fit your shape! Most people can wear a cropped leather jacket — opt for classic black, chocolate brown or a smooth tan. Keep fringe to a minimum and only on accessories if it could overpower you. If clothing is still too overwhelming — always remember accessories! Stick to a beautiful leather boot or a great leather tote for the perfect leather accent!”
