How to modernise navy trouser suit with trendy trainers

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

Got a work do but dont want heels, ideas on navy trainers or trainer shoes

I wouldn’t do navy trainers with a navy trouser suit. The matchy-matchy is the opposite of the modernised effect you’re after.

Go metallic (eg silver with navy; I love a gold trainer but the wrong style can lean a bit ‘cruise ship pensioner’).

I’d also think about shocking pink. Orange would also work. Or bright green.

Leopard print is also great with navy.

I wear burgundy suede Converse with my navy trouser suit.

Adidas samba have some amazing silver ones i bought them the other day here they are

or these if you want understated fashion

this colour looks great with navy and they are super comfortable-the sambas less so but still excellent

eta it's the cinder fog colour I have sorry

Ooo 2nd link not working....Im.intrigued

Like the idea of silver or burgundy

I love these... but note sure would go as the crem distracts

Meant cream*

I’m not sure of budget, but I ordered these from me and em, they are in advance order and come in different colours , the brown or cream would work.

I like the cruise ship pensioner analogy and will remember it if ever tempted by a gold trainer.

I think the more modern look would be flat shoes- loafers or pointed toe slingbacks.

Oh not all gold trainers. Just the Sketchers and Hotter type or the round toe plimsoll type. Chunky or Adidas Gazelle type shape are ace. (I have two pairs of gold and silver trainers and am not a pensioner and have never been on a cruise.)

Ooo Ive got both of those...
Backless loafers black
Pointed slingbacks but again black

Black and navy work fine together!

😂ok youve sold black to me.
But now what colour top under jacket if black shoes????

If you got the burgundy trainers with the cream stripe, you could do a cream top under the jacket to tie things together.

i honestly wouldn’t do black. It might work but it looks a bit safe and you wanted to modernise the outfit. Black shoes will be ‘I’ve just put on some shoes’ whereas a contrast with either a coloured shoe or trainer will be more striking.

Ahhh yes cream top

Op have a look at Joey the label

You can buy armbands to push the jacket sleeves up your arms to show what you are wearing underneath and I don’t know why but I think it makes the fancy trainers look more coherent with a suit …
