I'm a 37 yo woman, not hugely fashionable as don't have time to be, I don't dress frumpy generally for my age, I wear skinny jeans a lot, & plain crew and v neck tees/ long sleev tops, people usually think I'm much younger 27/28, im a size 8, feel like I could be making more of myself and i know I'm not not making the most of being more fashionable but I'm crap with it! I Chuck on mostly black skinny jeans in winter with black and white sketcher summits slip on trainers which are comfy and practical! I don't have time to work out what would suit me then the time to match bits together to make an outfit, it takes ages then I get stressed and just go back to trusty skinny's with jeans. Prob fact I'm a mum to a 3yo & I just don't have the time but see many very fashionable woman my age & older! No idea how they do it with family too. Also read somewhere skechers are frumpy 👀 I don't want to rock frumpy but huge thick sole trainers are def too Uber trendy for me, so what brands/types of trainers sit best for my age but fact I look younger for my age? 🤦‍♀️

These are my currents I need to replace... they're so well rated and they aren't to me hugely unfashionable looking either or is that my age telling!!...🤷‍♀️

@Justilou1

Here are just some of the bajillions of Converse. Some are leather. Some have moulded footbeds (I am a huge fan!) and some are old-school, flat shoes (not for me!). I’m 50 this year and currently wearing some camo print Run Star Hike boots with leopard print tongue and trim at the back. (Honestly the most comfy shoes ever.)
I am glad to hear that you wear Converse Runstar Hike as I just bought them in pink paisley pattern and feel too old to wear them, I am 35Wink

Excited to see what arrives for you. I need actual running trainers now which is stopping me buying fun ones. Wish I could have a shopping spree too.

@itscomplicatedlife Which did you pick?

If I may hijack the thread, stylish ones!
I'm not cool enough to need THE trainers of the moment... as I keep everything till it falls apart anyway, but I think I would like some platform ones to wear with wider leg jeans...
