What should I wear with these sneakers?

Thread Starter 
Hello, I'm new here. Just started to pay more attention to what I put on my body every morning so... err... I'm kind of clueless about fashion, style... etc... So, I have just bought these sneakers from Skechers, I searched and found out that people here don't like Skechers, but they are kind of affordable for me and I don't have much choice, so... I mostly wear jeans with t-shirt, lately I started to wear Hollister Boomer (low rise, slim fit, boot cut) because I find it very comfortable to wear and it doesn't reveal my skinny legs while doesn't look too baggy. Again with Hollister, I don't see you guys here like the brand but as I said, I don't have much choice. I attached pictures of myself wearing a pair of Hollister Boomer and an t-shirt (my favourite everyday clothes) with the sneakers. Do you think the sneakers go well with the rest? Also, anything that I should change to improve my look will be really appreciated. PS: I don't know why my posture is so awkward with my left shoulder higher than my right, I need to correct it

You keep saying you don't have choices. You really do. And if you're that insecure about being skinny then go to a gym. The improvements had there will make you feel much better than whatever clothes you wish you had would make you feel.

im new here also, but, for around the same price, you could have gotten some old school adidas or a cool pair of vans.

You mean the boot cut jeans don't suit me or they don't go along well with these sneakers?

I have two pair of slim straight, one standard rise and one low rise, I'll try them on and post pictures later. Do you think they will go well with these shoes?

Thanks a lot, I realized that so I started to go the gym last week, but it will take times before my body start to build

About the choices I'm talking about, I'm from Vietnam, so it's not easy for me to just go to the store and try stuff on to see if it fit or how it look on me. For example, Levi's store here have like 4 styles, 501, 505, 512 and 523 (I think so). I buy stuff online (and not many store ship to Vietnam, thus the limited choices) so actually I need to guess how does it look, feel... on me. And I didn't very aware about what I wear until now, so that's why I want to ask you for you advices.

I have another pair of shoes, its style is about the same with what you have in mind, if I'm not mistaken, do you think they will do? The color of my shoes is navy blue, not gun metal like in the picture.

Everything you're wearing is too busy/too baggy. The Skechers design team tried to cram as much cool shit as possible on those shoes (e.g. the perforations, swooping arcs, metal nut shoelace hole thing, zig-zag stitching, serrated sole, big branding, sporty detailing, rubber toe), and the result is terrible to look at. You won't be able to successfully pair those sneakers with anything. There is no way to make them work. The factory whiskering/distressing on your jeans just draws attention to the low quality of the denim. Also, the fit is terrible. Look at the way the material bunches up at the knees. T-shirt is too big for you and the graphics are corny. When you get a t-shirt, the sleeve seam should hit at your shoulder's edge or above.

Very helpful, thank you very much. Actually because I'm too skinny it's kind of hard to find clothes that fit me well, but jeans are very forgiving (I think) so I stick with them since I was like 13 or so.

Can you suggest me some style of t-shirt and shoes? It'll help me understand how things should be

OP: make a coat out of an industrial trash bag and wear it with the shoes.

You're not too skinny your clothes are too big. Try to find some Levi's 511's in a dark wash, there is nothing wrong with having slim legs. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_b8QEOIc5Eg...s511skinny.jpg You cannot honestly think that looks worse than your abominations... Being skinny in big clothes makes you look dumb as hell.
