Why Converse Chuck Taylors are just too easy

First let me be clear, LADIES THESE RULES DON'T APPLY TO YOU> I don't know how you make yourselves so beautiful, I won't even pretend to, all I know is you work way harder then we do and it's fantastic, thank you.

Ok, back to the subject at hand. Chucks are amazing, a classic shoe that I love, but honestly, they are EVERYWHERE. Goths, punks, trendsters, hipsters, teens, try hard 45 year old dads. I get it, Chucks are a great look that are almost impossible to mess up. But isn't that the point?

Style isn't about playing it safe. It's important to have "Go to" items, pique polo's are basically my uniform from May through Sept, but sometimes you just have to try harder. I recently had a conversation with a girl I know who is about to graduation High School. I mentioned that I don't think skinny jeans should be for guys. She disagreed and started listing a bunch of guys we both know who, "would look good in skinny jeans and converse." Serioulsy, not even calling them Chucks, just "Skinny jeans and Converse." Maybe I'm wrong but that seriously bugged me.

I love low top Chucks, really want to pick up a grey pair this summer. But, they arn't the only great sneaker out there. People you just need to try harder, I just got an AMAZING pair of canvas sneakers that look almost like bowling shoes. Saw them on a clearance rack by accident while I was looking for something totally different. Bought them, love them, have gotten TONS of compliments on them. Are they as trendy as chucks? No...honestly they arn't even half as comfortable as chucks, but people actually noticed them as opposed to when I wear my blue chucks around.

Summary of this rediculous post, Chucks are amazing, but wear something else once in a while so you don't just blend in.

Thanks for reading.
