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'?!?!

oh ffs

who cares as long as are not mum boots.

i HATE brown anything

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.

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

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

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.

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

takes credit for the very term

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

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

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

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

I need new boots!

Yes and I blame you Iamnotinterested.

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.

I think grey is a fad they all look plastic

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!

DEXTER you slattern

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?

Everyones doing it, all is cool

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.

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?

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

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
