To think kitten heels are now acceptable?

[eyesofocean]

So I used to wear the high heels and now I live in trainers and boots.

But I see kitten heels a lot now and some lovely ones in Zara.

I would hope most people wear what they like etc rather than what is "fashionable". 🙄

Are people being deliberately obtuse? Obviously OP is talking about whether they're fashionable.

You may not care. But it's obvious what she means.

@eyesofocean is authoritatively talking rubbish.

Why so rude? Is sarcasm a speciality?

No, no one is being obtuse. The OP is authoritatively spouting nonsense.

I bought up the boat thing!
I was trying to get the OP to explain why she used 'acceptable, because what is acceptable in one place, or to one person, is not acceptable in another place, or by another person. So, I said they would be unacceptable on the deck of a boat as they would ruin the teak!
However, @eyesofocean remains stubbornly unable to clarify why the shoes are 'unacceptable' rather than 'unfashionable'.
I didn't realise what is acceptable fashion is down to a single MN poster!

I had assumed that the boat comment was a reference to the OP's user name 😆😆

OP it’s just that Theresa May is the first thing that springs to mind when anyone says kitten heels 💁
In your pics, I like the short dress outfit but I really don’t think kitten heels go with floppy jeans. ( just my opinion)

Words have different meanings for various reasons. Clarity being one of them.
Acceptable is NOT the same as fashionable. Kitten heels may not be acceptable to the OP, but that does not mean they are unfashionable, and it is ridiculous to interchange the two.

Does it matter what others think about your shoes? 🤷‍♀️

🤣🤣

Because acceptable has a different bloody meaning
And just because they are an 'unacceptable' item to the OP doesn't make them unacceptable to the rest of the world, nor 'unfashionable'

In terms of trends, they have made a bit of a comeback this year.

I am not a fan as they tend to render the wearer’s legs short and fat. Most unflattering.

@NQOCDarling you seem angry. Hope you're ok

Why have you made the same “authoritatively” comment 😂😂

You interpret an explanation as anger?!
😃😃😃

You know it’s not just me saying this?

I didn’t wake up yesterday and say jeans are forever out of style and what I say goes.

This js from what I’ve seen and read.

Really? It's Audrey Hepburn for me, especially in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Theresa May, particularly before she became PM was actually a very stylish dresser so that's not the "gotcha" you might think it is.

Because tbh, I think I might know slightly more about this than you do.

I wear what suits me rather than what is deemed fashionable by a bunch of randoms who work in fashion and therefore have a vested interest in ensuring there is an ever revolving and changing list of what is currently “fashionable” to keep us buying new stuff

Usual load of twattish comments on here I see. People claiming the OP is being obtuse and authoritative because she used the word 'acceptable' rather than 'fashionable' (or the opposites, can't remember). What a load of bollocks.

Honestly people on AIBU just LOVE having a go at an OP. And sometimes they have to really stretch to find something to have a go about...

I hadn’t been aware of them not being acceptable!

Im not a fan personally as shoes with kitten heels often tend to be either sling backs or courts which won’t stay on my feet.

I’m a flats person these days - usually trainers of some kind or boots - or if I must where a heel (a black tie event maybe?) it will have to be a very well supporting one.

People claiming the OP is being obtuse

Er, no. It was a poster supporting the OP who sugggested everyone who disagreed with the OP was "obtuse"

Kitten heels are obviously acceptable, there is no section of Belmarsh for women wearing kitten heels in 2021

They may go in and out of fashion, but that means nothing to a person's style.
Fashion is just a cycle of what the shops try to lead women to purchase to keep their profits going. Style is a completely different matter.

A stylish, put together woman wearing kitten heels in any decade can look far better than another woman slavishly following fashion.

Find your style, ignore what you're being flogged, wear what is comfortable and makes you feel good.

....

Unless it's Hey Dudes. Then it's straight to H&M Wing of Belmarsh.

🤪

Maybe try thinking for yourself instead of following 'fashion'.

Wear what you like, I can't imagine having or spending time worrying over others judging my shoes... sounds utterly exhausting and boring.
