I absolutely love them and I've just ordered some. Now I just need to work out how to style them..

I'm 30, mum of 3.

What do you think of these trainers?

What does that mean "how to style them"?

It means what to wear them with.

They’re interesting aren’t they. Do you have any thoughts on how you’ll style them?
My first thought was a two piece wide leg trouser and thin blazer in a dark colour so the shoes pop underneath.
Or wide leg jeans and a plain tshirt maybe?

I like the sound of that!

I have a somewhat eccentric dress sense (bold colours, dungarees etc) so I should have a few outfits that will compliment them.

I'm just scouring vinted atm for bright adidas tshirts 😁

The look like a sweet!

Wearing at the gym seems to be the only suitable place and attire that I can think of.

chalkyc2 · 29/06/2024 10:21

I have the same style in orange!

I tend to wear them more as a burst of colour with jeans and neutrals or all black. It sounds like that's not your style though. Go for it - wear them and enjoy them. They're super comfortable!

Fruit salad chewy sweets 😊

They are fashion trainers, not for the gym.
Are you one of those posters who cannot conceive of people wearing any type of trainers for anything other than exercise, despite that being the prevailing fashion for several years?

Yes, I have high standards.

LaurieFairyCake · 29/06/2024 12:23

Love them !!!

alloutofcareunits · 29/06/2024 12:34

I've just bought the pink and red ones, planning on wearing them tonight with wide charcoal grey jeans - haven't decided what top yet. The yellow are gorgeous, pale wide leg jeans or trousers with striped Tshirt would be my choice for a summery look

Lol.

Vulcanodon · 29/06/2024 19:29

I have the pink and red ones. Got them to go with a pink and red dress from me and em. I’ll also wear them with jeans.
I’d wear the ones you’ve ordered with a pink dress or jeans and pink or yellow T-shirt, or with anything neutral. They’re fab 😊

Galliano · 29/06/2024 19:36

I've got soft yellow and maroon ones - not my favourite colour way but they were briefly reduced to £45 on asos when I bought them before jumping back up to full price!

A friend pointed me to le Bon shoppe socks in a ton of beautiful colours to go with trainers. Those would look lovely with coordinated socks and a denim maxi

MissingMoominMamma · 29/06/2024 19:38

They look like they’re made of marzipan! 😃

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 29/06/2024 19:39

Mmm, interesting.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 29/06/2024 19:39

Battenburg!

paristotokyo · 30/06/2024 06:04

Personally not a fan of the colours but have the same in beige and green! I love the trainers. Could style with anything really? Plain jeans and T-shirt would work as a pop of color. Under a dress/skirt, anything plain I think with the trainers as the focal point

Sleepthief · 30/06/2024 19:22

I saw a woman wearing these with a paper-bag style midi skirt in burnt orange/brown and a vintagey yellow T-shirt. She looked great and I googled the trainers myself as soon as I got home but I really really do not need any more trainers 😂 Enjoy them - they're fab!

Coppercup · 30/06/2024 19:26

I like the style but don't like the colour but I dislike yellow!

I'd wear with any type of jeans - straight, wide, long, cropped. Wide leg trousers. Carrot shape jeans/trousers. The right kind of maxi skirt - bias cut as opposed to big. T-shirt. Nice way to add a bit of colour to an easy outfit.

Lokshen · 30/06/2024 19:27

Mine are minty green and pink. Wear with light wide denim jeans and fitted t, or my floral cap sleeve maxi, or my black linen capris, or shorts.

iffyi · 30/06/2024 21:49

they look like they’d taste of lemon sweets if you licked them! just like ice cream.
i’d definitely wear them with a pink bag though

cleo333 · 30/06/2024 21:51

I love them and I'm 55 where did you get them ?

BlackFriYay · 30/06/2024 22:08

Thanks all, I'm glad some people like them. I also love the sweets comparison 😂

I bought these from the JD website. I looked in my local branch but they didn't have any in store.
