Bought a barely worn pair from a charity shop today. But what to wear them with? How do you wear yours?

With jeans mainly

Bluesheep8 · 14/03/2019 15:26

Thanks, skinny or rolled up jeans? I will also wear with grey leggings and a denim shirt I think. V pleased with my bargain, I've admired them on other people for ages.

Ooh great find! I'd wear with skinny jeans and leggings too and fitted t-shirts.

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/03/2019 16:21

Oooh, mine used to look like that, 9 years ago!
I love them though still.

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/03/2019 16:23

Btw, rolled up jeans usually, grey are my faves but blue too.
They don't look right with my skinned as the jeans are too l9ng so I wear the low tops with those.
I have 9 pairs.

Ffs typos all over that post, hope you can make sense of it.

DeRigueurMortis · 14/03/2019 16:27

I wear mine (not pink though!) with rolled up jeans.

I personally don't think the high tops look as good with skinny jeans as the "low" cut converse.

Bluesheep8 · 14/03/2019 16:29

Thanks brillo think I'm going to get addicted too. I saw a lovely pair in tkmaxx, pale bluey grey with really wide ribbons for laces £29.99. May have to go back....already have some white pumps, the low ones. They were £5 from a charity shop, brand new.

Rolled up jeans, flared jeans (although I think I may be the only person who actually still wears flares).
I also wear them with tea dresses in the summer
I live in Converse boots and trainers though, I have about 20 pairs Blush

Bluesheep8 · 14/03/2019 16:30

I agree derigeur I like the high tops with rolled up and the low with skinny

And for the first time in a long time, I'm not asking if I'm too old (45). I love them so I'll wear them!

Too old. Pah!!
I'm 60 and was thinking they would be perfect for the festival we're going to!

Bluesheep8 · 14/03/2019 16:57

raera good for you! And they are very comfy-perfect festival wear! Grin

I have a dark pink pair - love them! I wear them with skinny jeans and think I look particularly fetching when I wear my yellow raincoat with them.

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/03/2019 19:00

I was desperate for fleece ones this winter but couldn't find any.
I have a gorgeous, white/yellow pair of double uppers that I hardly ever wear, must wear them this summer.

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/03/2019 19:06

Not the greatest photo, and they could do with a turn in the washer, but they are lovely.

Rolled up jeans, definitely. Not skinnies.

Shock new shows on a table OP?! What a great find!

Bluesheep8 · 16/03/2019 07:24

Oh gosh you're right about the table! Shock although hopefully it doesn't count as they are 2nd hand...maybe...Does anyone know if they can be machine washed?
