In hindsight, I reckon they’re so innocuous, as to be of little concern 🤷‍♂️

Any suggestions for wearing my old, but still in fine shape CP suede Chelsea’s without seeming out of touch? I still successfully deploy clothing from that era fairly often, but for some reason, these cause me doubt… unlike say MMM GATS, which I wear maybe a few times a month and don’t seem to evoke the same feeling for whatever reason 🤷‍♂️@Fuuma ?

this would be tough to do well imo. crepe soled chelseas feel verrry of a time, and one that I don't think too many ppl look back fondly on. it'd be a different story if they were on a hard sole
mm gats however, are Forever

I dunno. I see Kith doing a version of crepe sole Chelseas with Clark’s every winter season, and that is about as of the moment as you get.

The worst excesses of the 90s' are coming back, I saw an adult man in denim cargo shorts today.

Thank you @MeatFish The nail on the head I couldn’t quite identify whenever I put them on… I just felt it.

Designer brands owed millions after Matchesfashion collapse

Some customers of the online fashion site, which owed more than £210m when it collapsed in March, are also unable to get refunds

fwiw I do think you can still get some mileage out of them, just don't style with skinnies and plaid shirt. straight fit/loose white denim could be easy place to start. I'd imagine them working easier the more beat up they are

I have those exact Chelseas and never wear them for all the reasons you guys mentioned. Good idea on the fit, gonna try it. I have them in the shame corner of my wardrobe.

I was looking for a used double rider jacket. Would think of using it as an alternative to my denim jacket.

Anyone have any guides or tips? I'm not interested in dropping big bucks, and there's a lot of used Schotts on eBay. All of them have weird measurements though so I can't really tell what would even fit.
