How do I wear these - tucked in our out? (with pictures!)

[justaperson]

After reading the MN thread a while back I bought a pair of DrMarten Flora thinking it would be the end of my casual work footear woes. Now I have them I don't know how to wear them!

Should my trousers be tucked in or pulled over the top?!

Apologies for slightly rubbish pics...

[MrsDc7]

Tucked in if you're wearing skinny jeans. Those jeans are possibly a bit long which is why they look ruched up your leg. Try rolling them up a few times and see how it looks

[morethanacondiment]

Over the top looks odd. Rolled up looks good but it's JUST TOO COLD TODAY. I've got mine tucked in but as soon as I can bare an exposed ankle, I will!

[MrsDc7]

Fab boots though, love them

[Fuzzypeggy]

Cuffed or rolled in my opinion, to just meet the top of the boot. I'm
Not a fan of the tucked in look

[EggsEleven]

Skinny jeans should be tucked in or have a gap like this pic (rolled up if necessary). Sorry OP but I don't think I don't think those jeans fit you properly which isn't helping matters. They're too baggy in the knee to look right.

I'm envious of your lovely slim legs - the Flora's look really good on you. I like skinnies tucked in and if you're having jeans/trous over the top then not too much material at the bottom.

Mine give me awful back of the ankle blisters so I'm doubly envious!

[OddShoe]

Neither. Cuffed just above the top of the boot.

I have red ones and wear jeans rolled, or tucked in if they are tight around the ankle and ankle grazer e.g. Topshop Jamies. Those jeans won't work in my opinion.

[justaperson]

No socks!?

EggsEleven you're right, most of my jeans don't fit well, I have large-ish bottom, skinny calves/ankles and giant feet. These boots are a 6 (was being optimistic with sizing!) so will have to swap them for a 6.5 or possibly even a 7...

Think will have to opt for tucking in... or possibly only wear with the few pairs of jeans I have that are tight on the lower leg and roll them up... unless anyone has any other boot suggestions?? Perhaps just normal DM's might be the answer...

[DrScholl]

oh mate send them back
they look like welly boots

[DrScholl]

reads rest of the thread
Christ guys - they look TERRIBLE
OP - send them back they do nothing for you

[justaperson]

Haha, thanks DrScholl I think you're hit the nail on the head!!

I like your idea winekeepsmesane but I think I might look a bit mentalist with the socks hanging out!!

Return label has been printed... back to Amazon they go... on the plus side I've just got a pair or Onitsuka Tigers as per the other thread.

Thank goodness for Style board for us terminally clueless dressers!

[DrScholl]

sorry but you know

[FourToTheFloor]

I had a thread recently about new balance v Onitsuka Tiger runners, would you mind sharing which ones you went with?

And I think if you're going for DMs the originals are the best, 8 or 10 ups

Four here's a pic... can't seem to find any similar on the website... perhaps they're knock offs? They were £10 on ebay and seem in reasonable nick...

[AFierceBadRabbit]

tucked, or just slouched, but not over.
we're all different, but i hate rolled up cuffs.

[Patriciathestripper1]

The only thing I would wear with those boots would be jodhpurs.

[BusterGonad]

I've got to agree the boots are not my cup of tea. I'm not sure what it is about then but the don't do it for me either!

[BusterGonad]

Just a tip as well, if you're wearing ankle boots and need socks just wear trainer socks! They won't show!

[justaperson]

Thanks for the input - I'd not thought of trainer socks... good plan....

Patricia I did actually look at just buying jodhpur boots

Am now pondering brogues instead...

[PNGirl]

Ah, now normal DMs come up higher so look better with jeans tucked in than the Floras do. Again though, must be tight fit!

[WeeM]

Def not over the top with those jeans. I think the problem is your jeans aren't skinny enough-I've found they need to be really tight at the bottom and not too long to be successfully tucked into ankle boots

[FourToTheFloor]

10 quid?! That's a bagain! Off to check eBay
