Black boots with jeans?? Suddenly everywhere!

[Chocamochalatte]

Ok, so I thought it should always be brown boots with jeans however all I can see in magazines/websites is black boots with jeans

So have things changed for this winter or is it me and black boots have always been 'acceptable'?!?!

[iamnotinterestedinyourkids]

oh ffs

who cares as long as are not mum boots.

i HATE brown anything

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I have always worn black boots with jeans.

Its fine -most people do.

People have got so het up over the concept of 'mum boots' that they've lost the plot boot-wise.

[Marenostrum]

Always acceptable with dark denim in my book, but who knows what might be trendy now...

[noddyholder]

I've always liked them WHat else is there apart from brown All the grey boot'ers will be regretting come jan

[bagpuss]

I'm going back to black boots this year and I dont care what anyone thinks. They look smarter and don't get water lines in the rain like my brown ones.

[justasecond]

I agree there seem to be mumboot hysteria on S&B at the mo.

[iamnotinterestedinyourkids]

takes credit for the very term

[Tortington]

seriously no one gives a shit what colour boots goes with jeans - except on mumsnet

[bagpuss]

I must admit that I'm getting strangely addicted to the s&b threads for the boot discussions alone!

[justasecond]

I do love a grey boot though, none in shops.

[Mellower]

Oh I adore boots, brown ones, black ones, suede ones.

I need new boots!

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Yes and I blame you Iamnotinterested.

[Mellower]

Oh grey ones, may get grey ones this year. After car tax, BT bills etc.....hen do costs grr! I'm gonna be stuck with my brown ones.

[noddyholder]

I think grey is a fad they all look plastic

[dexter73]

I don't get the boot hysteria either. If I like the boots and they fit me I buy them - no navel gazing about mum boots or black boots with blue jeans for me!

[iamnotinterestedinyourkids]

DEXTER you slattern

[BigBoobiedBertha]

I have often wondered about the MN 'no black boots with blue jeans' thing. I never got why they were unacceptable in the first place. Why would wearing black boots with blue jeans be a no-no but wearing a black top be OK?

[GobblersKnob]

Everyones doing it, all is cool

[dexter73]

You will have some Bertha as every boot ever linked to in the history of mumsnet gets called a mum boot by someone or the other.

[Mellower]

I haven't looked at any this year. I may have to stick with my brown ones

I had a lovely Timberland long pair a few six years ago, I miss them so much! I am not interested in shoes just boots?

[toastandmarmiterocks]

I have black boots, brown boots, grey boots, leather boots, suede boots, ankle boots, knee boots, mum boots (probably) Just covering all options...

[Caerlaverock]

I had a pair of grey granny boots in the 80's I fecking loved them. Not feeling the love this time round. Agree the mum boot fear is hysterical but no one wants to look like colleen Nolan's less stylish sister
