Is the floral dress and white trainers look out?

So it’s been really nice as we all know. My go to for work is the floral dress and white trainers and I was told by my younger colleague this look is “out”

I know it doesn’t matter as long as you like what you wear, but I’m also conscious of not looking stylish but keeping my look “fresh”

Surprised to hear white trainers are out. All the baby groups, soft play and farms etc I go to with the children, everyone is wearing Veja white trainers.

I love a floral dress and trainers, I’ll probably still wear it, I’ve found my 40’s has brought with it a f*ck it attitude to what is on trend, I’m wearing what I like rather than what is in. It’s so wasteful apart from anything else!

Not for me. I like it so I'm going to keep doing it. For me it's comfortable and practical and I like how it looks.

It makes no sense financially or ecologically to chuck out decent stuff just because someone whose job it is to sell us new things says we should.

Wear what you like! I do not change my wardrobe that frequently, eventually I’m fashionable again

I only wear a dress to a wedding, so I think I'm ok so...

notacooldad · 30/03/2025 20:27

So what is the outfit ans shoe combo trend for the summer?

I love a white trainer and I will keep wearing them. BUT I can’t stand floral dresses and would never combine the two. Very glad if less people wear the dresses now. But I do think you should wear what you feel comfortable in.

Yeah op, it's out 🥺

Are the dresses with chunky sandals also out?

MidnightPatrol · 30/03/2025 20:26

It is technically out but IMO now ‘a classic’ that to some extent is always ok.

I may be in denial.

Do you like it?
Do you feel comfortable?
Then wear it.
I saw a tiktok today: the worst dressed people are the ones who follow EVERY trend. So true. Dress in what you like. I bet you look lovely.

I saw the same tiktok 😄

My DS who keeps up with this sort of thing assures me that you can wear any trainers you like so long as they aren’t white. The white trainer is apparently out!

I've only just started wearing the white trainers, and they're out already?!

Although maybe people like me are the reason, given I'm over 40 and wearing them, probably puts the younger ones off 😂

Yes, it is.

But if you’re comfortable, go ahead.

Daisyrainbows · 30/03/2025 20:22

Yep it’s out. As soon as middle aged women wear it the younger ones move on. Then it’s a couple of years of older people wearing it then it’s out I think
