Are these converse too "young" for a 30 year old?

Of course not. I'd wear them and I'm quite a bit older than you. Get them!

I like them but they would spend most of their life in the washer, i just got some navy ones and am late 30s.

ameliagrey · 26/02/2012 16:30

Shock You are 30!

Is it the colour of the fact they are Converse?
I wear Converse and I am 56. So do all my friends who are 50s.

PersonalClown · 26/02/2012 16:34

Oh I want them!!
I have double tongue ones and I'm 33.

Trills · 26/02/2012 16:48

I don't like them, but I don't think they are too young for you.

latrucha · 26/02/2012 17:52

I have red cons and I live in them. I am 38. I hope they dont make me look silly as they make me feel good.

MegIet · 26/02/2012 17:56

No.

This almost 38yo is thinking about getting some 'double-tongue' Converse with her birthday money this year. I only have black ones and they are too sensible. Bring on the fluro and pastel shades Grin.

Why the buggery bollocks do so many MNetters persist on asking about being too old for something?

You're 30 FFS!

Quite apart from the fact that that isn't 'old', why perpetuate the casual ageism that is rife on here?

Wear what you want, when you want to!

gregssausageroll · 26/02/2012 18:40

I am 41 and love my converse. Like those black ones too.

LetterboxFlapping · 26/02/2012 18:47

We are coming into Converse weather. Time for the boots to go into the cupboard and the Converse to be dusted down. I'm 36.

Mrsrobertduvall · 26/02/2012 18:48

I wear them and I am 51.

bigbadbarry · 26/02/2012 18:49

Ooh I like them! (Am 38.)

QueenCadbury · 26/02/2012 20:11

Another big converse fan here!

sparkout · 27/02/2012 08:14

What do you wear converse with, I'm thinking I'd look a bit golf-club legged in converse and skinnies?!

gregssausageroll · 27/02/2012 13:07

My jeans. I wear boyfriend or bootcut.

porcamiseria · 27/02/2012 13:20

classic shoes, not young

NinthWave · 27/02/2012 13:23

I'm 31 and I wear glittery sequined zebra-print Converse!

How are these different from normal converse? I know they have a double tongue but how does that matter if you wear jeans over them? I've been looking at them for a while but not sure if there's any point me getting them.

CeliaFate · 07/03/2012 17:38

I've just ordered navy ones and I'm 40. Do not spend your 30s thinking you're too old for stuff. For that matter, if you're happy and have good legs, wear a mini skirt when you're 60!

SlinkingOutsideInFrocks · 07/03/2012 18:08

Seriously - you're not too young for converse. Grin Nobody but Mums wear them anymore!

I'm not a big fan of them, but you definitely do not need to worry about being too old for them.
