What can you wear sneakers with? Is anyone allowed to wear sneakers?<BR/><BR/>Do you have any good fashion tips for things that people should wear? Maybe a Jane Franklin polo top with the collar up? Mirror sunglasses with fluro plastic frames sitting on your head?<BR/>Is there any public figure who exemplifies everything good about fashion and nothing bad?

We concluded that sneakers, as in the plain white kind or the Converse kind, are ok with jeans. In fact, straight-leg or even skinny-leg jeans with this kind of sneaker look good.
