I wear Converse pretty much every day but have never quite got into wearing trainers/sneakers for anything other than going to the gym.
Trainers as a fashion accessory is nothing new though but recently I feel as though I've seen them everywhere....I sat in London's Hanover Square recently to eat lunch & it seemed as though every single person who walked in or out of Vogue House (which overlooks the square) was wearing them.
Never one for being ahead of any trend ever, I consulted with my good friend Louise who has the best fashion & style sense & knowledge of anyone I know....should I buy the Stan Smith trainers that I had been coveting?My Very Wise Fashion Friend texted back an immediate "yes" & so I am now the happy owner of the green & white pair as seen above :)
When they arrived, my son asked if they were for my daughter....and then my daughter asked if they were for her!!Thankfully we are now different shoe sizes, so she cannot "borrow" them ;)
So, are trainers part of your wardrobe....do you wear them, would you wear them?
