To wear with skinny jeans, would I roll jeans up a bit. Sock issue? Long knit etc.

i think only a mod could get awa with this look

If you are tall, and slim of leg, then roll up a bit, and wear with wool socks in fairisle or stripey autumnal colours, or pringle pattern. Takes attitude though, or you'll just feel silly. (But then in my experience you have attitude, and do not mind feeling a bit silly.)Wink

No, not clown - stylish Toast type slightly ironic country-casual person.

I do this and it looks ok (I think) I either wear dark socks or no socks at all.

You have to roll them up to the right place though and it has to be thin roll-ups Grin

What about some lace ups with chunky high-ish heels to go with that instead? Marks, vs Paul Smith

FellatioNelson · 22/08/2010 21:44

Those boots are proper gorgeous - though I fear I might be more in the market for the footgloves than the Paul Smiths. Wonder if you could swap the laces for a funky colour?!

Are we talking heeled brogues? Because they're in US vogue with knee high socks and mini skirts - if that takes your fancy Wink

I dyed a pair of boots today - am a regular Gok.

Knee high socks and a mini skirt would definitely put me squarely into scaring the horses territory.
