Too old to be wearing Converse Chucks?

Rebel Alexa/ Shoes

Street-Style-Converse

All year round, 365 days a year, I love wearing my white and blue Converse with skinny jeans, Céline pants, Chinos – all types of pants but not to skirts. Again and again I read that people beyond their forty years are not so well advised to wear Chucks. So, am I too old to wear Converse??

Chucks-Street-Style

I think it’s hard to give categorical style recommendations for certain age groups. Of course it needs a sense of proportion and a bit of skill in styling. If it’s there, then I can well imagine Chucks on a 85 year old woman. For me, Converse are the only shoes that are completely ageless, wearable from kids to grandma. I am sure that I will put on my Converse Chucks the next 20 years and then I will be 62 year old!

Christmas wish list: Customised Converse!!

Romantique/ Shoes

 

Christmas is approaching fast and if you are looking for a cool and unique present, then you have to go to London ‘s Selfridges!

Converse are not only “Religion” in Paris (according to our favourite French style icon Ines de la Fressange) but they are also popular worldwide.

At London’s Selfridges “Offspring” shoe department located on the first floor, you can have your Converse inked with a custom design.  There are hundreds of logos, images and words to choose from. In a matter of minutes your chosen graphic and / or words will be inked onto the shoe.

You cannot see the designs available online as they are copyright protected, so showing up in person to the store on Oxford Street, is the only way to get your feet into a pair. Hop to it!

Chose from over 200 designs to be inked onto your converse!

One of the designs on the screen…

And this is what the design looks like on the shoe!

The customisation costs vary from £10-25 depending on the size of the graphics on top of the cost of the shoe, a real bargain for such a unique and cool style statement!

My favourite designs: A pink kitty…

And heart shaped lollies!

Look like Jessica Biel

Rebel Alexa

Ich finde den Look von Jessica Biel echt schön, weil er so simple zu stylen ist – manchmal ist weniger wirklich mehr. Ob Winter oder Sommer der Look passt zu jeder Jahreszeit, nur Schuhe und “etwas drüber” müssen variieren, aber sonst kommt man mit einer schwarzen Skinny, einer weissen Bluse in jedem Fall gut durch das Jahr und auch noch durch das Nächste!

I’m wearing: Hose black skinny von J brand, Chucks in racing green, Roberto Cavalli Gürtel, Spitzentop von TK Maxx

Marie Antoinette Chucks

Rebel Alexa/ Shoes

Ich meine, wer kann schon ohne Chucks leben, ich nicht. Ich habe blaue, nur für weisse Jeans, racing green für den Winter und ich wollte unbedingt die baby blue aus Marie Antoinette haben. Und wenn ich etwas will, dann muss das sofort erledigt werden – ich liebe es Dinge, schnell zu erledigen. Ich habe echt ganz Hamburg abgeklappert nach den hellblauen Converse, ohne Erfolg. Das hat mich halb wahnsinng gemacht. Natürlich hätte ich im Internet suchen können aber ich bin kein Fan von online-shopping, das ist mir zu nüchtern, ohne Emotion. Aber in London habe ich sie Gott sei Dank doch noch gefunden!
