In my eyes, you can't beat a Converse trainer. As a former emo kid who grew up wearing their iconic Chucks, they still hold a strong place in my heart (and wardrobe) as a reliable, easy-to-wear and versatile shoe which look great with just about any outfit - even when no longer paired with super tight skinny jeans and a gravity-defying side-swept fringe. 

Plus, they last for years, which I can most certainly attest to, with my multiple pairs of old, heavily-worn ones (adorned with a variety of skulls, lightning bolts and flaming guitars), still all sat at the back of my closet of my childhood home, sadly now too small for my adult feet. 

These days however, I opt for a Converse shoe that's a little less fantastical, pairs that still make a statement but can be easily worn dressed up or down. 

And here's the good news: this Black Friday, Converse have launched a huge sale, offering 40% off in UKand 30% off in US, meaning that you can now pocket your own new of kicks for a fraction of the price. 

If you're not sure on which one's to buy, let this guide point you in the right direction, with a variety of shoes to chose from, whether it's going back to basics with their classic All Star design, or ones that will most likely get your mates eyeing your good taste.

On the Converse website, these are listed as having the power to "make your inner emo kid (secretly) giddy".

A great design!
