Too old to wear?

[house]

canvas sneakers for styling? I don't have any. And I saw some bright ones on UO. But I am 35+. Should I stay away from them? Are these mostly appropriate for teens and college girls only?

No way. My mom is 53 and rocks them. I think they look really great for a classy, but casual, look.

I love them! They are only 9.99!

My 75 year old grandmother has a black pair that she wears everyday. I don't think she's too old, so you're definitely not too old.

What a steal! You should buy 8

LOL! I would except they only come in yellow and orange. And I don't want to pay shipping. I called the store and they have yellow so I will go pick them up later.

Really? When I see them, I think old lady, not young chick. My mom wears those.

80 year olds on scooters wear those.

I love the color.. but yes I have seen on senior citizens AND on young crowds. That's why I was asking if see anyone my age wear them. LOL! Maybe I will pass.

I think they are kinda senior citizen looking. I know it's hot for the young adult crowd. It's at the ends if the spectrum but not for the in between kind of thing.

I agree with this

[house]

what about these?

or these?

So my DH says anything with that wide sole is senior citizen-ish. Do you agree with DH?

[misshark122]

I would do Toms if you want that sort of look.... I agree with the in between thing not meant for the kind you posted. Toms can be done though.

They are sneakers, they have an age???

BTW I like those orange ones that Houseof999 posted, where are they from??

[bluesecrets]

I bought these in white a few weeks ago. Love wearing them with jeans:



For the price, I'd say go for it. I was hesitant but do find I wear them often.

Niknik, from urban outfitters.

Too young to wear. They scream 'retirement community' to me.

This was my initial thought. Everyone wears sneakers, right? Seems like we are all over on this one. Some think its okay for everyone and some don't.

This is exactly what I was thinking too. My Grandmother used to wear the daily.
