Trainers on a drinks date - a no no?

[YourIcyReader]

I’m putting myself out there after being (happily) single for more than 5 years and have a Hinge date on Friday so thinking about outfit choices.. If I was going out with my friends I would wear black trousers, vest top or cardi and Samba copies, but are trainers a no go for a date?! I feel like the trousers make the outfit dressier, plus nice jewellery, make up etc.

My other option would be black skinnies and black chunky boots but I’d need to order a nice blouse to go with them - so inspo would be appreciated. I don’t get next day delivery here so I’m limited to Next and M&S 🥲

TIA ☺️

Wear the trainers.

Trainers are fine, have a fab time.

I wouldn’t wear trainers for a drinks date … I’d see it as low effort.

Wear the trainers.

Definitely wear the trainers. I doubt that your date will even notice what you have on your feet (and you may need to make a quick exit).

I think black skinnies, boots and then a nice blouse sounds best! I work at one of those shops and there’s some great choices at the moment

I think it depends on the venue.
If it's casual I'd go with the trainers.
Both outfits soound great though.

Wear the trainers. The last thing you want to appear is too dressed up.

If it's the kind of bar that you'd usually wear trainers to with your friends then I wouldn't change from your normal style to meet a date. If he is negatively influenced by your footwear then he wasn't worth a second date anyway!

Go as you. If you’d normally wear trainers- wear them!

I certainly wouldn't be buying anything new for a first date. It's about finding out whether you are right for each other, isn't it.

Wear what you would normally wear.

Depends, trainers are so fashionable now, everyone wears them. I see young women in great outfits like a smart blazer, nice shirt, jeans and trainers and glam it up with accessories. It can look really nice.

Wear what you want. If your date doesn't like it then they are not the person for you.

One of the reasons I really like my DH is because we are.trainer people and he wouldn't be seen dead in jeans and shoes 🤮.

The trainer outfit sounds perfect for smart casual.
