What shoes would you wear in winter with a long black skirt?

[MrsMeow]

I've been wearing a long black linen skirt this summer, with a plain black vest top, cropped denim jacket and black Birks or flats. I want to carry on wearing it into the winter if I can with LS top and tights under

I thought it would look ok with my new boots (DMs) but tried it on today and it doesn't look right at all - the boots are a bit too 'clumpy' I think.

Any ideas? I have heeled ankle boots which look ok when I'm stood up, but a bit naff when I sit down!

How about some boots like these?

[MrsMeow]

Thanks dexter, I like those! I have some v similar from Next but without the laces, which look ok. I just thought it looked a bit odd when I sat down though - maybe I'm behind the times though (thinking shoe boots etc)

brogues? Or similar with heels?

[MrsMeow]

Thanks :) would they look ok with thick black tights do you think?

Personally I think brown/dark tan leather would go better with linen than black leather or suede.

Surely ballet flats are the way forward here?

[MrsMeow]

tempertemper have been wearing flats with it already, I'll have to try them on with some tights and see what they look like, thanks!

spiritmum thanks - I have some tan boots, will try them tomorrow. My DH will thank you for reminding me about them as I wont have to buy more
