Knee-high dark tan, heeled, crepe wedge boots plus black cropped slim legged trousers...

yes.... sounds lovely together

NomDePlumPudding · 08/12/2005 15:09

Depends on what you're wearing on top IMO. To get away with black trousers and brown boots (or vice versa), the top has to tone in with the boots (not nec the same shade).

Hmm, not sure. But I sometimes wear black, brown and blue together all at the same time

nailpolish · 08/12/2005 15:11

nope never wear brown boots with black trousers

Pagan · 08/12/2005 15:11

IMHO I always thought wearing brown footwear with black was a huge faux pas. But then again I'm not a fashion icon as I sit here in my minging old trakky bottoms and a milky covered jumper

Feistybird · 08/12/2005 15:17

I wouldn't

DinosaurInAManger · 08/12/2005 15:20

Sounds fine to me. Why don't you ask in the MN Style Shop?

Bozza · 08/12/2005 15:22

Why have they had the grand re-opening?

DinosaurInAManger · 08/12/2005 15:22

Oops didn't know they'd closed ...

It's FINE - and quite smart - to wear brown boots with black trousers if, as NomdePlume says, the top is brown, too. Brown jumper or jacket.

twirlingaroundthechristmastree · 08/12/2005 19:09

If you have something else on the same colour as the boots then it's fine

Nightynight · 08/12/2005 19:22

I wear them, with a black anorack. sigh. my options are a bit limited.

LadyTophamInAChristmasHatt · 08/12/2005 19:33

Nope, I never wear brown shoes/boots with black trews.
It's almost as bad as navy and black IMO

I just saw your post further down Malory and thought "Ohhhh I do know something"

philippat · 08/12/2005 19:37

definitely no. Go buy yourself some black boots, girl.

Toots · 08/12/2005 19:41

Cheers. I'm going to try with black jumper complete with flash of jade from underneathy top thing plus brown beads to link to boots. But basically am now on the lookout for interesting brown based cropped trouser as boots too slim fitting for the skinny jean thang.
