What to wear with these Converse?

[Teenagehorrorbag]

I bought these for an upcoming dinner/disco night - after realising everyone now goes dancing in trainers!! But while I thought they looked great at the time, I suddenly wondered what I should wear in the way of socks/tights?

Chuck Taylor All Star Dainty Mary Jane Glitter (converse.com)

The model has sparkly black ankle socks, but she's young and gorgeous whereas I am not. The Mary Jane bit means I can't just wear trainer socks - so what else? Skin tone or black pop socks? (If they still exist.......😂). I suppose I could go barefoot but won't be comfortable.

I'm wearing black straight leg jeans probably. Although problem solved I suppose if I wear a dress and tights (but then what sort of tights.....)?

It's hard being old and having no clue nowadays! Thanks for any suggestions.

What sweet shoes! I'm not understanding why you can't wear black glitter socks like the model?

If you're in jeans then just wear comfortable socks. Or tights with a skater style dress, and an oversized cardigan. You could wear tights in a brighter colour. Maybe a parka on top?

If you are wearing black straight jeans I would copy the model and get some shimmery socks. Or might be able to find some no show footsies just covering the toe and heel if you don’t want to go completely barefoot,

I love these and would probably just go barefoot in them… but I am also old!

I agree with PP, wear those fabulous socks! Why the hell not. Under jeans they won’t really be a feature, but they’ll look great on the bits of your feet that show.

And have a wonderful time!

You can get metallic socks as part of the Rita Ora collab in packs of two at Primark. I wear them with my Mary Jane shoes. I would say go with a contrasting colour the Primark ones are pale pink metallic and flesh coloured metallic.

Jazzy socks.

Why on earth does being older than the model mean you can’t wear the same socks? Even if you believe outdated concepts about dressing for your age, anyone far enough away to look at your face and your feet simultaneously will be too far away to guess how old you are.

Thanks everyone for not making me feel like I'll be a middle aged hag trying to be trendy.....😁

And especially thanks to @Britpopbaby and @Garlicbest for your suggestions which are all great! I am going to look at the accessorize and primark ones once the trainers arrive (hopefully tomorrow - if they are a snug fit I will get the tabiouk ones). Or I might buy the longer ones....... Spoilt for choice - I appreciate you doing all the work for me.....😂

And thanks also for your suggestions @Bobbybiscuits . Unfortunately the days when I had the figure for skater dresses are well behind me, but having checked what my friends are wearing I think jeans will be fine. With a party top of course......

I have these in white and don't wear socks or tights with them

Love these shoes - do you find the fit is the same as the traditional converse trainer? My DH is in the US so hoping he might be able to pick me up a pair a bit cheaper, but it's a risk on them fitting!

I love these! Think I need them in my life.

Meant to add- I have some black fishnet socks that I'd wear with them, I don't like the texture of sparkly socks.

I only have one other pair of converse and they are a lightweight lace up dap style - but both fit the same and fit me well as someone who is usually a standard size 4 in most brands. If pushed I suppose I would say both are possibly slightly more snug than some other 4s - they're certainly not loose. I will buy some fairly sheer socks to wear with them.

Hope that helps 😀.
