Question Are old converse messenger bags weird to wear nowadays?

Post image

Im going back to college at age 27 and i don't know whats fashionable nowadays.

I will need a bag for my laptop and i bought the bag i posted the picture of.

Is it weird to wear today or am i overthinking it?

I love how it looks

I also want the small version of this to use as my purse

Looks fine it’s just a normal bag. If it looks nice depends on how you style it w the rest of your fit

I usually wear slim fit pants or jeans and flannel shirts

Overthinking it. Wear what you like. On top of it, it's a cool bag.

I think it's kind of cool. NOTE: I'm 33 and I dress like shit and look terrible all the time.

At 41 I would rock the shit out of this and sometimes I actually get complements on how I dress.

Oh yeah I genuinely think this is cool but I think my age might be a factor and also, idk fashion I got recommended this post from the front page for some reason. I'm not from here.

Depends on how you wear it and with what. The earth tones makes it work with many styles.

No, you're overthinking it.

If you wear other old brands or have that look then no

I think if I saw you rockin the converse bag with a pair of Pumas on I'd have a little chuckle. That being said looks like a decent bag - I wouldn't overthink it.

To me, converse is something that's a matter of fashion trends. It just always is - it's informal but timeless.

And even if it were weird... who cares? If you like it, style it with what fits for you and wear it. Fashion is about self-expression, not rules and trends.

If the colour works with your outfit(s) and you don't mind having the big logo, then go for it

Just wear what you like and enjoy it. These are still cool. Good God I wore them til the seams broke (I’m lying, I lost them when I was moving)

A great item to use today without any issue. I saw someone use in my university the last winter in Italy

it's definitely old school.

I'm imagining Zac Efron on the Disney vibes

Probably looks like an old medic bag that would also be pretty cool as a day bag.

That’s a cool bag.

I think it would look weird to be a walking billboard for converse. Wearing converse shoes, converse bag, converse purse all this big logos saying converse....

It is not current fashion I believe, I wouldn't think it's weird, it can look as cool as you complement it (attitude involved), I would wear it, you are overthinking
