What shoes with straight cotton trousers

8 replies

Help … early fifties, suddenly don’t know how to dress myself post-menopause. I’ve got some new straight trousers, dark green, tending towards casual wear … and I have no idea what to wear on my feet. I feel as if the white trainer thing is a little dated. So apart from white trainers (which I still have) what would look good? New Balance in toning colours? Something else?

I have some green khakis and wear

Brown chelsea boots
Black loafers
Plain trainers from M&S with white soles (that kind of look like Allbirds)

Watching because I also have no clue how to dress age 50!
Where are the trousers from? I’m fed up of living in jeans but struggling to find trousers that aren’t wide leg, cropped or easily creasing linen.

What are the trousers actually like? Are they slightly crops? Are you rolling them up?

Yes, that’s it, slightly cropped with a bit of a roll up.

Those M&S trainers might well be suitable, thank you pp.
