Bought some converse off've eBay, bargain. Washed them cos I'm a snob. They are now dry, and I need to suss how the heck to wear em, what with etc.

If it helps they are the double tongue ones, a very very pale pink (off white) and the underneath layer is pink. And they are ankle high.

Don't forget to tie the laces, once they are on your feet.

Might be best to put socks or tights on before you put them on your feet.

Yep on your feet. I own four pairs and they all go on my feet. Normally wear jeans, but they go with everything.

They are a trainer. Wear whatever you would wear a trainer with. It's quite simple with cons really

Thanks LeChatRouge. I wouldnt have thought of wearing them with a dress. Smile

don't own trainers, apart from a pair worn only in the gym. I wouldn't have asked if I knew the answer would I.

I wear mine mostly with skinny jeans, hence why I said not visible socks. Mainly for anything I want to not wear boots iyswim.

Converse look amazing with tea dresses.

Also if you have any hippy tendencies, long floaty skirts and a vest top in the summer.

Don't take the hump at a bit of teasing, custard

Have you tried looking around at what other people are wearing with them ? See what you like the look of

If they're hi-tops, I'd not wear them with skirts/dresses. That could look wrong unless you're 16 ish.

Hi-tops! Yes that's what I was trying to describe, thanks :) I'm totally a ballet shoe kinda girl so struggling a bit with these converse

My DD has white Converse (she had pink before) she likes the over-the-ankle ones.
DD is 11yo, tall, slender (very trendy)
She wears the thick leggings and shorts with Converse and a gilet /sweatshirt.

Looks good.

I wear mine with anything really. Especially dresses and skirts as that's what I usually wear. Don't wear them without socks and/or tights though as they will rub your feet and give you terrible blisters

I'm with UnamedFemale, wear mine (bright red or blue) with tights and shorts or tights and short skirts.

Prefer the hi-tops to the lo-tops but I have both! Sometimes wear them with skinny jeans (not much of a jeans person, TBH) and then tuck the jeans into the boots.
