How did I wear…Chuck Taylor All-Stars?
As we transition between August and September, I’m looking forward to wearing out my white sneakers for the next couple of weeks.
Why only two weeks? Since Labor Day falls on September 7th, we only have two Mondays until the “No White After Labor Day” rule takes in effect.
With all that being said, I thought today would be a great opportunity to pull out my newly purchased, white Chuck Taylors for some week day fun.
Tip: When wearing white Chuck Taylors, there are only two options available. You can either keep them dirty or clean. For myself, I actually prefer an aged and dirty converse look. Just in case if you hate the dirty look, just throw your shoes in the washer. Once they are done, they are ready for the sidewalk. It’s that easy!
Similar to one of my previous looks, I decided to wear my Converses with a mid-sleeve, contrasted tee and cut-off denim shorts.
If you haven’t noticed, the contrasted sleeve tee is back this season. Most retail stores have them in stock. I actually picked up mine from Forever21 for under $10. A steal, right?
Tip: When purchasing a pair of converses, you may need to go down a size. Fellas remember, these sneakers run a little big. So, don’t feel demasculated if you go down a shoe size. Your foot did not shrink.
To finish off this look, I wore a pair of knee high socks.
Knee high socks? As you already know, I have a thing for retro inspired looks. So, it should come to no surprise that I decided to grab this dated socks from the depths of my father’s dresser.
How much wear and tear do you plan to get out of your Chuck Taylors this season? Feel free to share with us in the comments section below!

P.S. Don’t forget your whisky!
Praise moment: Bryce, your blog is so good. Seriously, your writing style is an easy read. Informative, short, simple, and entertaining. Who is your photographer though? This is pure art! I would pay to read.
Ok, regarding the blog itself. Love the chucks, I’ve been wanting those for myself. Just haven’t gotten around to it. and I prefer the dirty look myself. Well done!
Thanks so much Ehrick! It’s been a work in progress, but I finally have my writing style down to a tea. My photographer is one of my good friends. She takes some great shots, right?
Yea, I love chucks too. They go with almost every outfit.
