Black jeans and white trainers

17 replies

Haenow · 24/04/2021 12:09

I’ve got a few pairs of black jeans and recently got some white trainers. Not paired them together yet.
I’m trying to see if I can pull this off but I’m not sure what colour socks to wear - black or white?

Thanks in advance! :)

No socks

If the trousers are full length and you’re only going to get a flash of sick when you sit down, it doesn’t matter really, but I’d probably go for black.

If the trousers show some ankle, wear trainer liners or pop socks instead.

I never wear socks unless it is snowing but look at 'wearsmymoney' blog. Last Sunday she did a sock round up and almost made me buy some

Thanks for the advice. :) I find it too uncomfortable to not wear socks but even the trainer liners seem to show a bit over the top.

I wear these socks (white) with my white trainers. Best trainer socks I’ve ever had, totally invisible and doesn’t show through, I have both black and white ones

Sorry meant to say doesn’t slip like other socks I’ve tried. They stay in place

I’ve been wondering this too so took note of people while i was out today, so many people wearing white trainers and above ankle length trousers.

Some had no socks and some had white trainer socks. I’d go white trainer socks myself just for comfort and to stop smelly shoes in the summer !

White with white shoes

I'd wear socks in another colour. Bright or subtle, patterned or plain. Whatever you like the look of and works with any colours in your top half.

ElderMillennial · 25/04/2021 10:09

I wear those little socks that you can't see when your shoes are on so it doesn't matter what colour they are

Your socks shouldn't be showing IMHO

Either no socks/ trainer socks or black socks. I wear white trainers with black jeans and usually wear black socks. With long skinny jeans the socks are not that noticeable. In summer with ankle skimmer jeans will wear no socks/trainer socks. Might even get my ankles out today!

Either get footies or white trainer socks.

What type of trainers are they?

FreshFaceTime · 25/04/2021 11:47

@butwhatcanwedo if they were wearing footsies which are shorter than trainer socks you wouldn't see them when the trainers were on though. They don't show above the trainer.

@wishywashywoowoo70

What type of trainers are they?

Nike Air Max 90. They are quite low or perhaps my trainer liner socks are too high! I’m going to try different ones. :)

Quite bulky trainers to wear with jeans.

Are your jeans long length or cropped?
Skinny or straight?

I'd be more inclined to wear shorter jeans with a more casual trainer. Like a converse or a van or other Nike style like a lazer maybe.

Ooh didn’t know about footsies. Might have to try them!
