Black Trainers

I’ve just read the thread on white trainers which showed me how massively out of date I am!

Can I ask whether black trainers are ok these days? One of my first purchases for about 3 years the other week was some black Vejas. Are black trainers ridiculous these days because it sounds like everyone is wearing white?

I’ve only very recently started thinking about my appearance after being too consumed with my little ones to give it some thought - have I got it really wrong?! (I’m mid 30s).

They're not ridiculous. There's a fad for trainers generally, and personally I think it's really hard to pull off a bold white trainer look - it's not for everyone. I like other colours. I don't have any pure black, but I do have a black and white and a leopard print that has black in it, and i find these are much more versatile than the proverbial white trainers.

I wear black trainers. I walk a lot in muddy areas and find white get dirty. I also have big feet and black trainers make them look smaller.

Thank you both - I will continue to wear them then Smile

I have black trainers with the white Nike 'swoop' thing on them. They go with everything!
