Spotted in Portofino: the $60 Celeb-Approved Sneakers Perfect for a Euro Summer
Emma Corrin is a Brit vacationing in glamorous Portofino, and I'm an American working from my L.A. office, but we have one thing in common: We're wearing the exact same shoes. I've been wearing Vans Authentic Sneakers ($60) since middle school, and I'll never tire of them—I even have sepia-toned Instagram proof from 2013 in case you doubted my loyalty. Headquartered in Orange County, Vans is a SoCal staple through and through, but as Corrin just demonstrated, they're also ideal for a Euro summer spent navigating Italian cobblestone streets, traversing steep cliffside stairways, and generally walking ten times more than you would in an American suburb.
Corrin's off-white Vans sneakers have a thin blue stripe above the rubber soles, which perfectly coordinated with her blue knee-length skirt. She completed her casual outfit with a simple gray tank top, aviator sunglasses, and a baseball hat in her hand. (Don't forget that sun protection, Emma!) Scroll down to shop her classic sneakers in a range of colors.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
