How hideous are these trainers really, in your opinion?

My partner isn't normally the least bit concerned about what I wear but really truly despises these trainers, will ask me not to wear them, says they're hideous!🤣
I don't think they're so bad? I'm not really someone who wears trainers unless I'm at the gym but I do occasionally put these on to just nip to the shop or such. DP is seriously offended by them!

YABU - they're absolutely ghastly
YANBU- they're okay, ignore DP.

They are pretty dirty and not the most fashionable but not too bad

Is it that he is really into fashion and these aren’t cool enough or what is his issue with them?

FrangipaniBlue · 18/02/2024 14:11
  1. the trainers are filthy and scruffy, clean they might be ok

  2. trainers and skinny pants/jeans - just no

  3. brown with black - again, just no

  4. trainers with pleather trousers? Absolutely definitely not.

gerteddy · 18/02/2024 14:12

Yes I agree with him they are hideous. Fit for taking the bins out and nothing else 😂

They maybe wldnt look as bad with black socks and black plain (non shiney) leggings. The stripey socks and trousers are making them even more out of place! The trousers look quite dressy and probably lovely with a nice pair of black boots or shoes but not those trainers!

ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees · 18/02/2024 14:13

Dirty red trainers, blue socks and those trousers really don't work well together at all.

Tbh I would more be questioning the trousers....

😂. Me too.

Poppysmom22 · 18/02/2024 14:13

Trainers are totally fine the trousers on the other hand not so much

Todayzname · 18/02/2024 14:14

I'd rather wear those than these new offerings from Donald Trump.

They look ready for the bin

Side view! Please ignore dirty carpet, we're cleaning out a house at the moment, not at home!

Thank you for all opinions so far, going to show DP the thread 🤣
Yes I'd never wear them for anything other than casually but I don't usually anyway. I like quite gaudy, bright things.

I'm intrigued about them not going with the trousers as they're black? But must be the style. I'd usually wear these trousers with heels to go out somewhere in fairness I just thew them on this morning.

Oh dear OP. I just noticed your second post. Dirty trainers AND dirty carpet. I'm a bit embarrassed for you! 🙈

Also, you ask 'what's wrong with the trousers?' Really?! 😆 Dude, they're leather (or fake leather/plastic!) Are you Suzi Quatro or Chrissie Hynde? (Under 50s google them!) If you're not Suzi or Chrissie, ditch the trousers!

betterangels · 18/02/2024 14:23

They're even worse from the side.

EighteenBaldingStars · 18/02/2024 14:24

They aren't to my taste, but they aren't "dear god what is that lady wearing" territory. I wouldn't wear them but I also probably wouldn't even notice them on someone else. If you like them I think you can wear them

Toooldforthis36 · 18/02/2024 14:28

Could do with a clean. Generally think trainers and leggings should only be seen at the gym though.

BookSpines · 18/02/2024 14:29

I am no fashionista but even I can see that’s a bloody awful combo.

Where are you seeing stripey socks and trousers?

OriginalUsername2 · 18/02/2024 14:30

I think a spin in the washing machine would sort them out. They could look good with denim shorts in the summer.

(The trousers definitely clash. It’s two different styles - smart clubbing legs with muddy trainers. And the black is too harsh for the shoes.)

surfacedeamon · 18/02/2024 14:30

Out for a walk and home again they are alright. Out for anything else and they aren’t the best OP - they don’t go with the trouser and sock combo.

fridaynight1 · 18/02/2024 14:31

Team partner. Put them in the bin OP.

In the photo in the OP.

Blue stripey socks and shiny leather pants.

Flamme · 18/02/2024 14:33

They need a wash, but I can't see anything wrong with them. For something casual like trainers, I think bright colours are a plus.

Didnt you read the OP, its right there in a photo?

PossumintheHouse · 18/02/2024 12:29

The trainer, sock and trouser combo are a bit… much.

Right?! What the hell is going on there?

The trainers are awful

TheTigerWhoCameToEatMyHusband · 18/02/2024 14:36

The trainers are awful and they are also filthy which makes them even worse in my opinion.

Crabble · 18/02/2024 14:40

Are leather leggings generally not ok then or is it something about these? I’ve seen loads on sale and was considering some…

Malbecmoron · 18/02/2024 14:43

I quite like them
