You know you've seen people wearing those long, skinny, flat-soled Converse shoes and knock-offs with a similar shape. They're the premier old-school tennis shoe, and they're sold in multiple colors.
The most disturbing thing about these shoes, is that people love to wear them. And the people who wear these shoes should not be wearing them.
A very skinny shoe makes a large person look top heavy--from the tip of his or her head down to the ankles. You have a very large silhouette atop tiny little feet.
A very thin person wearing a thin shoe has a similarly unattractive effect: thin, lanky and, well, stringy. If that's the look you're going for, fine. But it probably won't get you laid.
Wearing ultra-thin, flat-soled shoes with skinny jeans is a big no-no. Skinny jeans are bad enough on most people, but to pair them with pancake-flat shoes is grotesque. Such a combination makes the body appear to taper down to nothing.
Far too many people purchase these shoes in black. First of all, black shoes in general are not flattering. Especially on white people. But to wear them with shorts, is just a crime against fashion.
Word to the wise: stay away from shoes that will damage any chances you have of creating a flattering body shape.
