Ok, so I'm totally inept when it comes to fashion. I want a pair of Converse to wear with jeans etc but can't decide which ones; I like them all!

So, which ones would you choose? Which colour? Please help, this could be an expensive mistake!

I'd get the custom ones you can design yourself on the converse website.

At the risk of upsetting Converse diehards, Ethletic do great ethical/eco-friendly hi- and lo-tops here. I am buying myself the mandarin ones to commiserate for the end of maternity leave. (Bought DH the hi-tops in olive green for a birthday present a while ago - he loves them.)

Converse are great. DS (12) and
I (42) both wear them most of the time. I have a couple of DS's cast offs from when we went through about 3 weeks with the same size feet. Have white hi tops/grey hi tops/ cream low/ navy low/red low and DS is currently sporting some Gorillaz ones that unfortunately won't fit me as they are a size 8!

The gorilaz ones are on sale at Schuh if you wanted to get your own. Grin

ds2(11) wears them. his are black hi tops with red flames. he also has some light grey high tops.

I've got some of the Ethletic ones too in red, but I bought a 7 and they are much bigger than a converse 7 (I have never worn them if anyone wants them? they are a large 7)

I loves my converse, all low tops. Black leather, black sequin, black spots, silver leather, navy and red.
I wear the red ones so often they are falling apart but I can't bear to part with them.
My 13 year old DD also wears them but we try not to wear the same ones at the same time Smile

I loved my white ones for the summer but they have died Sad
I have brown leather hi tops, brown suede with furry lining hi's (DD has stolen them), lo tops in navy, grey, multi coloured people faces, and navy suede one stars.
I also have the Blondie ones and DD has a brilliant pair of Stars and Stripes hi tops.
