Its beginning to get really hot and sometimes i'd like to wear a skirt in the summer rather than boyish shorts all the time
However, i only own trainers. I pair of chunky vans, and a pair of the shoe type converse
Will i look stupid for wearing skirts with trainers?
And is there any particular type of skirt which will look better? I cant imagine that longer skirts would look good but i dont know...im not really into wearing skirts too high above the knee

or this
look ok with these trainers
?
and would i need to wear a non girly top to equal it out a little to suit the trainers? Like a fitted band tee or something?
Or do i need to go for a shorter skirt like this
Or does it all look completely naff?
The skirt I usually wear with trainers is a long denim one which pretty much covers them... though I can get away with Vans then. Not exactly great for summer though, of course.
My trainers for all other skirts are a pair of backless converse which looks seriously good (even if I do say so myself) and I wear them with dresses/short skirts/long skirts/froofy-ra-ra skirts and the lot. If you get an adaptable and fairly "slim" pair of trainers then you can wear them with any skirt really... at least that's what I reckon
I dont think it would look bad at all. And comfortable too!
I think im addicted to fatface ever since someone posted a link in the other thread
Tres chic.
can never seem to find a pair that fit unfortunatly, they always seem to cut my feet up and give me blisters
Im still on a search for some though! i do love trainers though, and flip flops arent very good if im going to be doing active things, they fall off
I'm glad I'm not the only one that happens too, no matter how supposidly comfy they are :grump:
tried a pair of those on before but i have really flat feet so they dont stay on, even when tightened!
dam my feet
that first skirt is gawwwgeous.
i know
I think those shoes you posted in the other thread... the cute green ones... they would look nice with skirts, imo.
The first skirt is ace- want it!
id go for chunky sandals. Mine are these but in brown instead of pink:
or theres these

Like http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/item_frameset.asp?s_ref=130231 maybe.
Although perhaps cheaper alternatives
i like the look, and even if i didn't, you can't please everyone, and i see FAR sillier outfits walking about leeds and thinking they're the dog's.

Ooh that skirt reminds of ones made by under the brand 'Vila' See here - gotta love sales
Oh and I agree with others, those converse definitely look as if they'll go with those style of skirts :thumb:
There's one on there i really like that'll go with my new top but it's £42.50 and i am so very broke
Flip flops and sandals yes. Trainers NO. (and certainly not Converse). (IMO).
