Day time dresses and white trainers - what do you wear on your feet?

[TonyThreePies]

I met up with my friends for brunch recently and we were all wearing dresses with white trainers. I hadn't realised how much of a "thing" it was so when we wandered around town afterwards I noticed that most women in dresses were also wearing white trainers! Is it because we're used to comfy wfh slippers and trainers are more comfy than sandals/flip flops? What do you wear with your day dresses?

Either white converse or cheaper converse lookalikes in a colour that's in whatever dress I'm wearing.
Or ballet pumps. Or flat ankle boots.

Birkenstocks or Teva flatform sandals. I think the white trainer thing has been done to death and is a bit twee tbh

I love white trainers and converse with dresses on other people but feel like I'm trying too hard when I wear it, so I tend to wear flats - black or leopard. Only with longer dresses and skirts. With midi length I wear slightly chunkier flats or boots.

Birkenstocks in summer, ankle boots in winter.

I usually wear comfy sandals if it is warm enough.

Other than that or if I have loads of walking to do, some form of adidias trainer.

Seriously it's fine. Of all the trends out there, it is one of the nicest

I read on another thread that the 80s horror of mom jeans and brightly coloured boots is back.

At nearly 63 I would feel like I'm a sheeple trying too hard wearing white trainers, so I have some grey converse look alike which look nice with my dresses.

I wear sandals if it is warm enough. I hate wearing trainers in hot weather.

Trainers, not necessarily white. I don't do it because it's a "thing" I do it because, thank god, it's become socially acceptable for women to wear comfortable shoes.

When I was first on MN there was horror at the thought of any woman wearing trainers at any time except for exercise

Vejas / Stan smiths / Birkenstock's

I like white trainers with dresses! But not if you can see any sock at all. I also have flat sandals or wedge type ones.

I wear white trainers. I can’t wear heel so used to live in ballet flats. Trainers give me so much more support for my hyper mobile ankles.

I remember those posts. Thank goodness comfort over impracticality has prevailed.

Do you wear trainer socks, and if you do, then which ones don't show, but also stay on?

I wear pastel-coloured or floral-patterned lace-up pumps. I use those little popsocks rather than trainer socks. They don't show, and stay on.

Either white trainers, black trainers or vans. Have been doing it for about a decade long before it was a thing due to ankle injury. Suddenly after years of people looking a bit odd at me I was bang on trend. Now I worry I'll be outdated which is worse than odd.

I bought some from M and S. They were recommended on here. I think they are called invisible trainer liners.

I wear what I am comfy in an what is appropriate for the day. I am not a sheep and don't really care what other people think anymore as long as I am comfortable. I have shoes I have had for years because they are comfortable. So probably twee. I have too many important things going on in my life right now to be worried about shoes.

I have the M&S ones too and they are pretty good.

If it wasn’t for white trainers/superga etc I’d rarely wear a dress or skirt. Hate ankle boots with bare legs - my calves are too chunky and I always think they look like a drunken wardroBe malfunction even on wispy influencers.

Invisible socks above are fantastic.

I wear birkinstoks pretty much all summer. I eek them out for as long as possible. I do think white trainers with dresses are a thing. We're there dresses floral?

I'm sure you all looked lovely but sometimes I think something becomes so common it can put me off.

I have loads of little trainer socks and I have found ver few stay on my feet with trainers! So when I wear trainers I tend yo not wear socks and but ones which can go into the washing machine.

I love wearing white trainers with day dresses, or if it's a bit chillier I'll put on a pair of tights and some fairly chunky black boots.
If it's really hot just a pair of knockoff Birkenstock's.

Air & Grace trainers a la Carrie Johnson .

Not white trainers anymore, my Birkenstocks, Tevas or saltwater sandals. Ankle boots when it gets cooler.

White trainers, Birkenstock's or gladiator sandals in the summer.

Boots in the winter.

Nike AF1 in summer.

Dr Marten boots in winter.
