For those of you who do, what are the rules? Can you wear them sockless with walk shorts? I still want to be smart casual, I don't want to look sloppy. I know they won't go with everything I have, but there are a few outfits I have that I think they would be okay with, like these amongst others :.
Thanks for you help! Thanks for asking these questions, Ana. I'm interested in a pair of converse also but don't know what the "rules" are. I know some women can pull off straight legs with Chucks, and Angie has mentioned this is perfectly acceptable, but I definitely don't prefer it on myself. I always stick with bootcuts. Somehow there is too much shoe showing and I feel like it makes my size 6 feet look big and clumsy. I also feel short and stumpy somehow.
Chucks are definitely a lot sleeker and funkier than most athletic shoes, but they're still not as delicate as a ballet flat or a slip-on sneaker, so I like to keep them from looking too heavy by covering them up a bit more. In short, straight legs are fine but if you find that you don't like the look, don't worry about it.
Someone else here had the same issue and we discussed it a few weeks ago. I think it might have been Marianne. I don't prefer them with walk shorts. Looks too teenybopperish to me. Definitely not skirts or dresses, though I doubt you would wear them that way. Converses are casual-casual. I don't think you'll ever be able to bump them up to smart casual. I'm not sure if I'm right about this, but that's my impression. Casual isn't bad and it doesn't mean yoga pants and sweatshirts.
If you're walking a dog, zipping around campus, going for a walk in the park, or attending an outdoor concert, casual is perfectly acceptable and I think preferable to SC. Converse queen at your service! Another Converse convert. Remember to put cushy insoles in for extra comfort. Retro Chuck Taylors. I have those in black, yellow and tomato red. Might get them in grey too.
I also have pair of back pinstripe and tweed Chucks with cream laces and soles that I bought in London. I wear those in Winter only.
I am in total agreement with Maya. I wear my Chucks with straight Ieg jeans — but not skinnies. Converse are casual. They do not make the smart casual mark. So your bottom options are:. No skirts, dresses or walk shorts. Greg has two pairs of Converse — grey and black. He lives in them. Brendan might like them too.
I think this look is fine for blokes, but butch for lasses:. I especially love to wear my Chucks with loose baggy pants Okay, thanks for the clarification. My "skinny" jeans are actually straight legs 14"" leg openings , so I think they should work. I don't have any bootcut jeans yet, but might invest in a pair this fall right now I'm really liking straight legs. I don't think I'd wear anything wider than a bootcut at this point. So, if Converse are casual, can I still wear them if the rest of my outfit is smart casual as those I posted above are , or would that looks strange?
Thanks again for the advice! I think these outfits would look great with red converse. I agree with Angie that that might look a bit odd. But then, if your sticking with longer pants, I would definitely suggest getting high-tops, that just looks so much chicquer when the pants rise up, much more polished and fitting with the rest of the -tres chic- outfits.
Thanks Sannes. I did think about when the pants rise up, but my pants are long enough that they don't rise up that much anyway, so I just went with the low.
Does that make sense? And while guys look cute in Chucks with khakis, I'm not sure that works with us gals. I adore Chucks and once had a pair that fit, but they run so narrow that my wide duck foot just can't fit them. I sometimes find knockoffs that run a bit wider - have a silver pair from Targay. I am thinking about sizing up and trying them again.
But for now I'm sticking with my vintage Saucony Jazz, so comfy and supportive! I know what you mean about converse sneakers. They are a bit hard to get used to wearing with more 'nicer' tops instead of tshirts. I wear mine with outfits like the 3rd one you posted because I feel like jeans, camis and cardigans work perfectly with this look. I was in school last year and this was my go to look. I accessorized with a short chunky pearl necklace. I also prefer using straight and bootcut jeans, but I prefer bootcut ones because of the same reasons Maya stated.
I own a pair of mary janes converse sneakers too and these are my favorite as I find them to be more streamlined over the retro chucks. These are so comfy too! Are you planning to wear them with the red specs and lipstick?
I'm just worried it's gonna be a whole lot of red! I'm sure you can pull it off, but I guess that's my only concern. Thanks for the info about the width, Shari.
