I got these for Christmas, and am trying to dress less frumpy and more fashionable!

However I don’t have a clue what kind of clothes to wear with them!

What do people wear with trainers other than jeans?

I’m happy to spend a few quid if necessary to update my wardrobe Smile

They are quite out there. I always wear my trainers with jeans.

MusicToMyEars800 · 28/12/2019 19:22

You could probably wear them with a causal skirt or nice casual trousers, I would probably wear them with jeans or leggings Grin

What's style do you usually gravitate to?

The silver one especially I think will look great with skinny/slim cut black jeans/trousers, a plain white t-shirt, something similar to this coat www.justthedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Blush18.png, and a scarf in this colour di2ponv0v5otw.cloudfront.net/posts/2019/07/08/5d2420acafade81c714539c6/m_5d2420c82f82764036b283fb.jpg.

That aside, I think they'll also go with cuffed skinny/slim cut jeans, preferably in black, and a slightly oversized sweater like this i.pinimg.com/474x/e2/9e/1b/e29e1bf296c9990f7f7dfa10a8ef38a3.jpg.

You could also pair them with black jeans, a loosely tucked-in casual shirt (denim shirts work too) with the sleeves rolled up to somewhere around your elbows.

If you're more into dresses, I think a t-shirt dress or a shirt dress could potentially look great. Something like this i.styleoholic.com/2018/02/15-a-salmon-pink-t-shirt-dress-white-sneakers-and-a-comfy-beige-cardigan-with-pockets.jpg, this encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0HGBd4VbwN0bkwrRkPPf5L1zeGE06-nyav1gT3wGeyoNGTxYR&s or www.dhresource.com/0x0/f2/albu/g6/M00/26/BB/rBVaSFtnxF-AW3lYAADvhWL6Qnw380.jpg perhaps?

Thedevilwearspantsuits - you are good at this! I have no clue about fashion but I like the OPs trainers and love all those outfits

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 28/12/2019 20:53

I have gold Nikes, and wear them with wide-legged cropped trousers, barrel-leg jeans, and in summer with midi-dresses and bare legs. Mine have a kind of cutwork detail going on, but if they were solid with no holes I would also wear them with black opaque tights, black leather mini skirt, and black polo/crew neck jumper at this time of year. (I know MN doesn’t like trainers and tights, but I do.)

FleurNancy · 28/12/2019 21:36

I would wear them with EVERYTHING. You've got one gold pair and one silver pair though right? The pair isn't one of each colour?!?

Sleepthiefismyfavourite · 28/12/2019 22:33

Ha ha yes I have them in both colours! Grin

Thank you so much for the links and ideas, I will have a proper look!

I actually have them in pink too 🙈

Minky35 · 29/12/2019 14:26

Wow, fabulous trainers! Are they gold Air Force ones (mum to teenagers Grin)?
I would wear with pleated skirts, skinny pants, all types of jeans, they’re just completely fabulous!

Sleepthiefismyfavourite · 29/12/2019 16:40

Yes they are, and thank you!

I’m very unfashionable so I’m struggling with them 😂

You don't need both pairs. Return the pair you like least.
Wear the other pair with everything.

dontgobaconmyheart · 29/12/2019 23:59

I ld wear them with most things- everyday outfit I suppose straight leg jeans/turned up Jean's or skinnies and french tucked jumper, t shirt, oversized shirt etc, layered necklaces, masculine/boyfriend cut of coat or leather jacket.

Could be easily worn with midi dresses too. I don't think theyre THAT out there tbh but
are very similar so I'd only keep one pair, once you've seen one you've sort of seen them both and I know they're not cheap (saw them on ASOS last week Grin). I'd just pick whichever went with existing outfits/my colouring/the jewellery colour I lean towards.

Trewser · 30/12/2019 09:28

Didn't realise you had two pairs! Keep one and get a less metallic pair. Gold or silver trainers are pretty dated.

RainWoman19 · 30/12/2019 09:48

Omg I looove them! Id go for midi skirt with ankle socks/tights.
Cullottes
Blazers/jeans
Midi dresses.

yougotanology · 30/12/2019 10:21

They are soooooo cool. I love them.

Definitely skinny, dark jeans - ankle length and a sweater. Keep the clothes very plain.

Also pleated skirts with and oversize jumper or sweatshirt.

Keep it simple and sleek. I think darker colours world work better.

Sleepthiefismyfavourite · 31/12/2019 18:58

Yey I wore them! Grin with tights which I think is probably not great but i love them!
