Is the floral dress and white trainers look out?

Well you should wear whatever you want. But I work at a university and the kids seem to be into either mid 90s style or what I call cybergoth, extremely cool look. Not a floral dress in sight.

Like PP I thought floral dresses and trainers went out with Lily Allen!

I saw a woman in trainers, floral dress and denim jacket today. I think it will still get worn, no matter what some think.

I've been wearing dresses of one kind or another with trainers of one kind or another in spring and summer since I was about ten years old in 1985, but it's kind of sweet that the fashion industry like to pass it off as a new trend every now and then.

Well apparently high waist is on its way out and the really low waist from the early 00's is back ha ha nobody needs that trend back bloody awful!! I'll stick with my high comfortable waistlines, my white trainers and whatever else I fancy wearing on any given day it looks terrible when a middle aged woman tries to keep up with the 20 somethings. Just wear what flatters you not what's 'in'. I think your young work colleague was pretty rude actually who on earth comments on and judges what a colleague at work is wearing??? Ahh one day gen z will be the uncool middle aged ones and will have their day.

Well I actually do own a couple of pairs of trainers- coloured ones- which I wear with trousers because I've never thought trainers looked anything other than crass with dresses and skirts. And my feet get warm and uncomfortable in trainers in summer.
So I'm afraid my experience is different from yours.

Who cares what's in fashion! Wear what you like! I've got zero fucks to give! Says someone for the millionth time.

Someone needs to tell all my 18yo/19yo students then, they all still seem to be wearing white trainers. Mostly new balance, some adidas with navy or grey stripes. Occasional pink/green/red adidas but mainly white still. Have seen no ballet pump style trainers.

Who cares if it's in or out? Wear what feels comfortable and what you like. Set your own trends. Confidence is the key. 👌 Mind you I'm the least trendy person going so what do I know?! 😂

I don't care. It's comfortable, flattering and suitable for most things. Who are 'they' to decide that it's 'out'?

66 here.. l love the look.. but changed my white trainers to rose pink.

I live in NZ and find trainers far too hot to wear in summer. I wear them only to go for a long walk, otherwise it's sandals. Little holes or not they are not comfortable on hot days, and once you add a layer of socks - no way!

Trainer socks are out 😁 , it’s longer ankle/crew socks now. Even with a dress.

This made me laugh.
I’m 68, wear trainers mostly in different colours including white. I just bought a pair of Onitsuka Tiger trainers and my son was so impressed. He wanted to know how I’d heard of them like I was some decrepit gran. I am a grandmother and occasionally decrepit but like to be a little on trend.

I actually think this sounds like a look!

Exactly. And who has the money to keep buying new clothes wkth every trend.

Ah yes, I have shoulder bags, but they have long straps and I wear them cross body. Fit loads, and they don't fall off my shoulder, and less likely to be robbed aswell.

Fashion my arse.

This look brings to mind Lily Allen in about 2011. I think it's been around a while so surely it's more of a staple than a trend?

its not an age thing. It’s a fashion thing. No one has to follow trends but some people enjoy looking on trend. Others don’t mind looking dated.

Ive still been wearing skinny jeans with boots all winter so I'll stick to my out of style spring and summer dress and trainer combo as well!

I don't really follow fashion. I find something that I think suits my frame and just go with it.

Wear whatever you like. I was in a fashionable area of a wealthy city today and noted a young mum in multi-coloured sporty trainers, a white strappy sundress and some kind of black and purple shell suit jacket monstrosity over the top.

This is why my daughter doesn’t allow me into Urban outfitters with her. I say things like “we used to wear that in the 90s, but not together”.

It seems like it’s fashionable to throw on the first combination you see, as if you ran through a vintage shop/jumble sale blindfolded.

I don’t know what’s in but I’ve gone back to shoulder bags as now I need reading glasses for any phone activity I can’t fit my glasses, sun glasses, purse, phone, shopper bag, lip salve and water bottle in a cross body.

Wear what you like. Who cares what is in or out once you are an adult? Fashion makes people discard good clothes far too quickly.

Of course people can wear what they want. But some people like to be a little more on trend. Others don’t mind wearing outdated clothes that are still serviceable

I mean i spend all summer looking at my 3 (20 something) daughters clothes and thinking oooh nice ! Maybe i should get some of those ...

And then bunging on my fitflops and the cotton A line skirt i've had for the last 4 years 😂

I love my floral dresses & trainers, but they're not white. And I love a cross body bag as it's practical & leaves your hands free. I'm nearly 60, still love my New Romantic & goth nights out & dress accordingly! I have zero f's to give too. I'm more about feeling comfortable in nice clothes. If they're not scruffy & threadbare I will wear them until they are. There's far too much throw away fashion & waste in the world. On top of all that at my age I'd rather spend my money on my dc & dgs, as well as enjoying my leisure time while I'm still healthy enough, rather than buying more clothes just because some fashionista says I have to!
