Can you stylish ladies tell me how the heck I wear converse, please?

[custardismyhamster]

Bought some converse off've eBay, bargain. Washed them cos I'm a snob. They are now dry, and I need to suss how the heck to wear em, what with etc.

If it helps they are the double tongue ones, a very very pale pink (off white) and the underneath layer is pink. And they are ankle high.

No hanging laces/bow is allowed to be seen ever. Laces should be tied behind the tongue and all ends tucked in out of sight.

Hi-tops look best with opaque tights worn with shorts, or skinny jeans or fancy leggings.

I've also got a low tops pair in burgundy. Love them, mainly wear with jeans, slim cut and skinny.

Am now thinking of a Superga pair, they sell them in White Company now.....

[mrsyattering]

I wear mine with
leggings
jeans
denim skirts
dresses
I think they go with everything, just bought my third pair

[Keepthechangeyoufilthyanimal]

I have the low tops or whatever they're called in pink these ones

In hindsight I would have got a more neutral colour so they go with more. With the pink I feel I am a bit limited to wearing with a pink top!

Though I am planning to get white ones once I have some spare cash! (Never!)

I wear them with skinny jeans or slightly flared jeans and casual tops/tshirts.

They look good with chinos rolled up at the bottom like in the pics on here halfway down the page

[mintymellons]

More or less go with anything.

Jeans, leggings, skirts, dresses. The only thing they don't work with IMO is wider legged trousers.

I just got a new pair. I've been wearing them since my teens and I'm now in my late thirties. They are brilliant.

I'm with UnamedFemale, wear mine (bright red or blue) with tights and shorts or tights and short skirts.

Prefer the hi-tops to the lo-tops but I have both! Sometimes wear them with skinny jeans (not much of a jeans person, TBH) and then tuck the jeans into the boots.

[OneLittleLady]

I wear mine with anything really. Especially dresses and skirts as that's what I usually wear. Don't wear them without socks and/or tights though as they will rub your feet and give you terrible blisters

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

My DD has white Converse (she had pink before) she likes the over-the-ankle ones.
DD is 11yo, tall, slender (very trendy)
She wears the thick leggings and shorts with Converse and a gilet /sweatshirt.

Looks good.

sirtoffeedoris thanks for that link, that's brilliant! Lots of ideas on there

[LovingTheSunshine]

I ordered some slip on ones...can't be arsed with laces!

[UnnamedFemaleProtagonist]

I wear mine with tights and shorts of varying colours. Every day. I seem not to own any other clothes.

[sirtoffeedoris]

Something here for you? Having had a quick scan, it might show you what not to wear with them

[custardismyhamster]

Hi-tops! Yes that's what I was trying to describe, thanks :) I'm totally a ballet shoe kinda girl so struggling a bit with these converse

[EleanorFarjeon]

If they're hi-tops, I'd not wear them with skirts/dresses. That could look wrong unless you're 16 ish.

[AnyFucker]

Don't take the hump at a bit of teasing, custard

Have you tried looking around at what other people are wearing with them ? See what you like the look of

[RhondaJean]

Converse look amazing with tea dresses.

Also if you have any hippy tendencies, long floaty skirts and a vest top in the summer.

[MrsShrek3]

I wear mine mostly with skinny jeans, hence why I said not visible socks. Mainly for anything I want to not wear boots iyswim.

[sirtoffeedoris]

Gap lacing works if they feel too inflexible

[custardismyhamster]

Thanks LeChatRouge. I wouldnt have thought of wearing them with a dress.

don't own trainers, apart from a pair worn only in the gym. I wouldn't have asked if I knew the answer would I.

[LeChatRouge]

Boyfriend jeans rolled up
Skinny jeans
Skinny jeans turned up once
Tea dress and cardi
Denim shorts

[ShowMeTheYoni]

They are a trainer. Wear whatever you would wear a trainer with. It's quite simple with cons really

[custardismyhamster]

Yes, because I'm obviously an idiot...

[MrsShrek3]

ooh you've had lots of help already I would also say put them on your feet, but not necessarily with visiblesocks.... those littletrainersock things iykwim dunno about laces, I just tie mine

[ShowMeTheYoni]

Yep on your feet. I own four pairs and they all go on my feet. Normally wear jeans, but they go with everything.
