Red Converse High-Top All Stars with a Tuxedo? Good Idea?

[MineralMan]

A guy needs to know.

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. I for one have always gone with black dress shoes

and the MC Hammer -style Harem pants. Can't touch this.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. What color is the tux? This is important.

[MineralMan]

3. Black, natch. I got rid of the baby blue dinner jacket years ago.

BTW, the Chucks are brand new, so nothing tacky like old faded ones.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. No.

If you insist on wearing Chucks, go with black, but I would recommend trying to find a nice pair of wingtips or something.

[MineralMan]

8. My black ones have yellow paint spots on them, so

that's right out. I do have a nice pair of Mexican huaraches, though, but they're brown, so I don't think that'd be optimal.

[MrCoffee]

5. Good idea? More like GREAT idea.

[MineralMan]

10. Yeah,..that's what I was thinking, too...

[NightWatcher]

6. if they are clean, YES

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. Black high tops would probably be more formal

Assuming its a black tuxedo. I might wear the red myself though, because I've always liked the black/red combo.

On the other hand, if you have a black tux with a red tie, then you might go with one black shoe and one red one. :evilgrin:

[MineralMan]

13. Oh! A red Tie! What a great idea!

I'm off to the formal wear place.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

9. Red Converse hi-tops are....

always an appropriate fashion choice. :hi:

[MineralMan]

Thanks for the affirmation, there...

I've found that they are always conversation starters, but have never tried them with the tux.

[flvegan]

11. Johnny Slash would approve.

This is the DU member formerly known as like totally different head...totally.

[MineralMan]

16. Now...how did you get a photo of my date?

She promise she'd wear the red bibs. That's what gave me the idea.

[no name no slogan]

17. aHA!

I was going to post "totally different head... totally" but you nailed it!

This is the DU member formerly known as Open 24 Hours (obscure?).

[fizzgig]

12. absolutely not

you need one red one and one black one, it always works for me :P

[no name no slogan]

14. Yes. If you are 16 and are going to prom

and are wearing them with one of those tuxedo t-shirts.

This is the DU member formerly known as High School Looozer.

[MineralMan]

18. What! My tux is a Calvin Klein, I'll have you know.

The rental place I bought it from said it had only been worn 12 times. Not bad for $100. Hell, the Chucks cost me over $30.

[SacredCow]

15. Like the tuxedo t-shirt....

it says, "I want to be formal, but I'm here to party."

Or maybe breakdance.

[Taverner]

19. What's the occasion?

If its that you're attending the Oscars with Lindsay Lohan, dude - I'm so jealous

[MineralMan]

21. No, not Lindsay. Cate B. called and asked if I'd escort her.

How could I refuse? I mean, really...

[PVnRT]

20. That is fucking awesome

The only thing better is my dad's, which was:

Powder blue tuxedo
Cowboy boots
Afro

Yes, it was 1971.

[MineralMan]

23. Dude was stylin', for sure!

[Shell Beau]

22. If that is your style. I wouldn't allow my

husband to wear it though. But I think it can look ok together if you are kinda punk-ish anyway.

[MineralMan]

25. I don't know about that punkish thing....I'm 63 years old.

[Shell Beau]

28. Oh, well, wear what you will feel most comfortable in.

For some reason, I think of punk when I think of converse and a tux. :shrug:

[DS1]

24. They're remaking The Breakfast Club?

[MrCoffee]

26. Dude, don't even joke about that.

[CreekDog]

27. isn't that a State Farm commercial?

where the guy gets married.

the shoes might be black, but they are Converse or something like that.
