Fresh Ways to Style the Iconic Sneakers That Have Been Around Since the '60s

ICYMI, sneaker trends have been coming in fast and furious as of late, from chunky-soled "dad" shoes to throwback styles. But there's one iconic sneaker style in particular that's proven to be a mainstay among the fashion crowd: Vans. I say iconic because the sneakers emerged in Southern California in 1966 and were quickly adopted by Venice Beach's skateboarding scene thanks to their flat, sticky soles (ideal shoes for skating!). I'm a big fan of these sneakers: I own a pair of low-tops and high-tops I wear at least once a week, so naturally I'm always on the hunt for brand-new ways to style them. Ahead, see how to wear Vans in fresh new ways for 2019, and then shop the chicest styles.
