Converse have truly stood the test of time. The silhouette evokes decades of cool style, from grunge bands in the ’90s to skaters in the early 2000s. But leave it to Olivia Rodrigo to give the beloved canvas kicks a Gen Z spin that feels fresh without trying too hard. Spotted strolling through Manhattan, the singer put together an outfit that was equal parts laid-back and chic—and yes, her Converse were the star of the show.

If you’re looking for an alternative to jeans this summer, let Rodrigo be your guide. Her lightweight carpenter pants—rolled at the hem, of course—are a no-brainer for a casual day in the city. She paired them with a basic black tank top, oval sunglasses, and her timeless black trainers. It’s exactly the kind of outfit that makes you want to reimagine your weekend uniform.
Keep scrolling to see how to re-create her look—and maybe add a new pair of Chucks to your closet while you’re at it.
