why is it such a S & B faux pas to wear black boots with blue denim?

[MistyMountainHop]

read it on here at some point, can't remember when :o

but just wondering why? i agree, i actually tried on some black boots with blue denim today just to test the theory :o and they looked shit.

but i don't understand why?

[Ifancyashandy]

Hmmm. I think it can look ok but I would only wear black boots / blue denim (skinnies only) with high heeled boots and, say, a pussy bow blouse in a kinda Charlies Angels style. But I mostly wear brown boots (conker colour) with blue denim.

Black Ankle boots and boot cut jeans = No No No! But that's a whole other thread!

[MistyMountainHop]

yeah they were skinnies i tried on with mine, (flat boots). however in the past i have worn blue skinnies with high heeled knee high boots and at the time i thought i looked good.

at thought of black ankle boots and boot cut jeans!

I think that it is a bit of an old fashioned rule. You see lots of 'stylish' celebs wearing blue denim and black boots eg. Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Elle Macpherson.

[Pinot]

It's just a bit 90's Jason Donovan/Kylie Minogue style innit.

There's just no need. Conker colour boots are d-i-v-i-n-e.

It isn't a S&B faux pas, it's just a stupid MN faux pas. Wear whatever the hell you like.

[noddyholder]

I always do

[Hassled]

It's only a faux pas if you're a nutter. It looks fine if the denim is fairly dark.

[usualsuspect]

I only wear black mum boots with my jeans

[dexter73]

I should be so lucky!

[TheBolter]

Nothing wrong with it if you're combining, say, black biker/cowbow/military/pixie boots with skinny blue jeans.

Agree black ankle boots with bootcuts a BIG no. Especially of the block heel and slightly chisled toe variety. With hems slightly too short. (shudder).

What a load of cobbler.

I worry about MN sometimes, I really do.

[Sofabitch]

I lived in my skinny blue jeans and flat black boots all winter last year. I looked ace if it's a fashion faux pas then you must all be mingers that can't pull off the I don't give a fuck look

[dexter73]

Too many broken hearts in the world

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

And it also assumes that you can afford to buy different boots for different outfits. If I buy black boots for work then I can't justify a pair of brown boots specifically for jeans. That's the bit that really pisses me off.

[dexter73]

I could go on but I'm even starting to bore myself!

[MistyMountainHop]

It's only fashion and therefore 'fun'. No need to get knickers in twist or give a fuck really! It doesn't really matter.

[Sofabitch]

Shit. I've just realised I'm wearing black dolly shoes with black jeans. Someone send round the fashion police. can you make them hot men please

[Fillybuster]

Black boots and blue jeans rock, like all looks, when done properly and worn with pizzazz.

And the naysayers can fuck the fuck off

[bintofbohemia]

I don't do it because it makes me feel like am wearing a policewoman's uniform. Not that I have anything against them, it just feels a bit...uniformy.

[noddyholder]

this is kate

[bintofbohemia]

Hang on, black jeans with black denim, perhaps...

[dexter73]

I've never seen a policewoman wearing jeans and boots! Where do you live?

[bintofbohemia]

Not the jeans, per se, just trousers and boots... I'm losing this, aren't I...
