more worried about the pants
Why do you care this much? Just buy whatever you want.

If you're wearing something as part of the exact same ensemble in the exact same context as James Bond, then it's cool.
Anything else, and you're a dweeb just like the rest of humanity.

You guys are aware that fashion is a multi-billion dollar industry, almost entirely built upon what makes you feel good which typically is what you think other people will think you look good in?
Just because it is a throwaway topic to you doesn't make it any less invalid of a question.
I personally would cross the street if I saw someone approaching me in khaki jean-cut chinos and M&S whities /s
As long as it looks natural on you, which is why it's generally best to go for something which you like. That can be something fashionable or not, but the main thing if that you like it because you like the look of it, not just because you think you will look cool in it.
I could wear e.g. white Air Force Ones and blue jeans, which are 'cool' on paper, but I would look like a total moron. It's not my style at all.
A multi-billion dollar industry it might be, but I wouldn't want to spend more than five minutes in a room with anyone that obsessed over it.
Reminder that this goes for "luxury fashion" and retails at £700 for just the shirt over on the Gucci website:
As stated by @Lysander, go for what you are comfortable/look good in.
See, so you both do care. OP is asking for advice on whether he "look good in".A multi-billion dollar industry it might be, but I wouldn't want to spend more than five minutes in a room with anyone that obsessed over it.

Not sure how you came to use the word obsessed, the chap has spent 30 quid on some M&S trainers lol. You'll blow a load if you see the see through toe cap Nike's being bought in the "today I purchased" thread
I wore them outside and felt a bit silly. When they're less bright they'll probably suit me better!

If you're happy with them, wear them. I'm in my 50's so stay away from white trainers.
They look fine, no one would take a second glance.

I think white trainers go well with many outfits, as most people don't wear white trousers.

They're pretty cool, what I like to do is get white hi-tops and then don't lace them all the way up but instead hold the top part tight with a nice gucci belt on each shoe.
It gets expensive to buy 2 belts for each pair of shoes I own but I'm earning a lot so it's not hard

I wasn't particularly speaking of the OP, rather those who are overly invested in the fashion industry.
I have shoes and boots that cost me £100-200 for example, so I'm not adverse to spending money if I feel it's worth it. I'm just not particularly fussed as to what people think outside of extremes, extremes such as looking like a clown in thousands of pounds worth of Gucci tat.
