If you don't wear trainers... what do you wear?!

Hi all,

I'm a bit baffled at the moment by how clubs can stop you from entering if you're wearing trainers and stuff (Inbetweeners just reminded me of this).

Admittedly, I wear jeans with everything. I tend to wear trainers for everything apart from school as well. But what alternative is there unless you put on a suit!? Jeans and trainers is normal isn't it? You can't wear jeans and smart shoes can you?

(Yes, evidently I am backwards when it comes to fashion etc.!)
EDIT: WOOPS, I'M A GUY BTW!

Yes, you can wear jeans and smart shoes. Don't go for your scruffiest pair of jeans, though.
if they won't let you go in with trainers, you could try:-
1. smart shoes.
2. desert boots.
3. wellington boots.
4. slippers.
5. flippers.

Smart shoes with nice jeans look really good on guys

Actually, I've always wondered. Does this rule apply to high tops too? Because high tops can be extraordinarily expensive and classy looking if worn right.
I hate them but you can get like pumps/plimsols things for like 3quid

oh yes, a pair of sandals, with a nice pair of bird-pulling white socks.

Combat boots. Excellent for long walks, dancing and kicking the shins of any drunk bastid on the dancefloor.
You can try it with trainers but if they refuse you can always swap shoes with a nearby tramp...

no! not loafers. loafers are for slimy, effeminate mediterranean men. not for english gentlemen. and certainly not for a real man like john wayne.
having said that wayne's countrymen do not all follow his splendid example. no, i'm afraid that the worst loafer-wearing nation in the world is america. god help me stay clear of east coast preppy boys in their tassled loafers. so flipping girly, it's not true.
I normally wear a clean pair of Converse or boat shoes :smile:
Plimsolls, Boots (flat soled looks best imo), High tops..
