I don’t wear athletic shoes unless I’m out for a walk or an outing to a place where I will be doing a lot of walking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257390 Thu, 31 Mar 2022 14:52:16 +0000 Helena 2257390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would avoid sneakers altogether - even fashion ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257365 Thu, 31 Mar 2022 13:06:53 +0000 Zaeobi 2257365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with @Cardiff - no need for heels (like I said before, we aren't *that* dressy of a nation) but you could probably get away with something with a sole similar to what @rachy describes (so long as it's tonal &amp; blends in, i.e. not white rubber) &amp; in a dressier fabric. </p> <p>Do you have some examples of what type of shoes you're considering? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257102 Tue, 29 Mar 2022 08:23:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2257102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet shoes on that Oxford/tennies border would be on a case-by-case basis, probably depending on the rest of the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257065 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:38:59 +0000 em 2257065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dromedaris.us/vivian.html">https://www.dromedaris.us/vivian.html</a></p> <p>(Not white.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257063 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:33:09 +0000 Cardiff girl 2257063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>British person here!l agree with Angie.Any kind of very casual sports shoe,normally with laces and usually but not always white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257062 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:30:05 +0000 Angie 2257062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A trainer is any kind of sneaker.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257059 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:12:37 +0000 Lana 2257059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are referring to all of them, even fashion sneakers, and would mean the dress code is “smart casual.” Many clubs in London have a no trainers rule or at least they used to. What’s the occasion?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257055 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 21:50:50 +0000 rachylou 2257055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An interesting question! I’d take it to mean no ‘nylon’ sneakers. As in leather sneaker-styled oxfords with a ‘rubber’ sole would be ok. Curious as to the actual answer here from someone in England! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-someone-in-england-is-describing-a-dress-code-and#post-2257054 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 21:41:06 +0000 em 2257054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>says, "no trainers," what kind of sneaker are they referring to? </p>
