Black opaques with white trainers. Yay or nay?

[Laiste]

With short black skirt and hoodie, or a short black dress.

Nope. And the trainers in the photo above are pale grey - it STILL doesn’t work.

@MrsFin

It's a bit Minnie Mouse, so no

You read my mind. I wouldn’t do it.

I would do this without a second thought. Unless going somewhere where I had to be 'smart'. If just out and about comfort more important than style surely. ( don't think I belong on this section )

Maybe it would work with black trainers?

NO NO and NO

I always think of white trainers as spring /summer trainers. Now the weathers autumnal I wont be wearing white trainers till the spring. Now it's darker trainers and boots to match our British weather.

With footless tights yes!!! Although it begs the question why you bought boots that are not comfortable to walk in?

Wear cropped trousers and you would be fine. I used to wear short skirt, tights and white trainers at uni - a looong time ago.

@Bluntness100

Defintely it’s a no. It’s like socks /tights and sandals.

I love socks and sandals

Good god no.

Absolutely not

Definitely, no. @TwooThirty. If I'd been on the fence, that look would have definitely pushed me off and into the no camp. Just...no.

@LittleRen

At the point it becomes too cold to wear trainers and skirts/dresses without tights it’s time to switch to boots.

This is my yardstick too!

I totally would. I'm a Londoner and no one would bat an eyelid at your outfit plans.

It's a pretty standard look where I live. So if you live in a Lancashire market town you'll fit in!

@PegasusReturns and @Porridgealert I wasn’t posting the photo as vote in favour of the look, it was to show that it looks like you’re commuting and about to change. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@MrsFin

It's a bit Minnie Mouse, so no

I was coming onto say the exact same!

Minnie Mouse

Try low tops black converse instead?

What if you snuck in a pair of chunky socks between the trainers and the tights?
Reminiscent of the legging/ leg warmer/ trainer combo in the 80s.
Or indeed, try leg warmers!

Only if you're 14 and have bad fake tan and spider leg eyelashes.

I live in a small Lancashire town. It's not a look I see. I wouldn't care if people wore it but it's not going to win any sartorial prizes!

@Lottapianos

+1

Would and have (and a very similar outfit, by the sound of it)

No!

Thank you every one.

OK. Although some would, the majority say no and there's no point in asking if i'm not going to listen so i wont do it.

I have to address the ankle boot thing - why un-comfy - they're ok for a 15/20 min walk, but they are quite new and i'm still breaking them in. Dune boots. I have very 'tender' feet at the mo - 7 months in flip flops! No way i want to be in those boots all day walking between Westminster, Waterloo and Lambeth.

This event is this weekend and it's looking like it might be fairly warm in London. So - i'm thinking black jersey shift dress (just below knee), bare legs (bung on some fake tan) and the white trainers? (flip flops in the car just in case) I'll take a long black cardi.

Maybe not but it's a more stylish look than some of my neighbouring towns wear!
I won't comment any further as I don't want to offend Lancs towns!
