Or what would you think if you saw someone wearing these for work/everyday? Eg with jeans or a mini and black opaques.
Always drawn to t bars but not sure if people will think it looks a bit school-ly or silly for a grown woman! Plus fancy a departure from my usual loafers!

They make me thing of grunge. I'd put them with a silky baby doll and white tights a la Courtney Love.

I bloody love them. I have the classic DM Mary Jane’s and wear them regularly.

I am sixty.

My dd wears the first pair for school (she's in year 11). They look good though. I wouldn't think anything if I saw them on an older person.

I'd think they were trying too hard to be 'different!' and 'individual!' and 'young-at-heart!' and 'fun!' and 'quirky!' and avoid like the plaque Grin

I'm also happy to admit that that may well be my own huge loss Smile.

Well I love them and am none of those things you described (except maybe young-at-heart).

I love the burgundy ones. Looking for something to replace my trainers in the winter that aren’t boots.
