I love them. But are they ridiculous?

I really do love these

But will people titter at me as I traipse past in my galoshes?

I wouldn't titter. I would say yellow is almost a standard Wellington colour.

JustinBiebermakesmevom · 18/05/2013 12:16

Honestly ? I'd probably rather go barefoot but the important thing is that you said you LOVE them rather than like them so if that's the case then go for it.....And have fun splashing in the puddles Grin

OneHandFlapping · 18/05/2013 12:18

Aren't they a bit Captain Birdseye?

Drywhiteplease · 18/05/2013 14:33

Royal we're a load of strangers....we don't know your style. I do think that if I ever need to ask anyone's opinion then it's because I'm not totally convinced myself. If you really love then then go for it, if you're not sure don't. If I saw you in them I'd just think you're a bit wacky,they're only Wellies after all and much more interesting than my boring/safe green Hunters.Smile

CatelynStark · 18/05/2013 14:35

I'd wear them and care not a jot if anyone didn't like them.

PessimisticMissPiggy · 18/05/2013 14:40

It depends where you'll be wearing them. Fishing boat!

aftermay · 18/05/2013 14:41

They're just wellies. You can't get too emotionally involved :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/05/2013 14:47

I think they are awful tbh - but if you love them, who cares? I agree that that they are a bit Captain Birdseye, but I think there are only 4 kinds of wellies that look nice - green Dunlop, red or yellow Hunters, red and white polka dots.

fedupofnamechanging · 18/05/2013 14:55

My first thought was Captain Birdseye, too. It's a lot of money to spend on comedy boots!

"They're just wellies. You can't get too emotionally involved" :o

Wolfiefan · 18/05/2013 15:29

They are wellies. You are supposed to look a bit ridiculous (or is that just me?)

yellow

snoworneahva · 18/05/2013 16:31

I like them but I can't stand Joules clothing, the branding makes me feel all stabby. Mind you Cath Kidson makes me feel stabby too.

Nehru · 18/05/2013 16:32

wy do you like orange boots?

bulletproofgerbil · 18/05/2013 16:36

I like them. With skinny jeans and an appropriate jumper/jacket/parka etc, I think they'd look cute. If you like them, get them I'd say.

EleanorFarjeon · 18/05/2013 17:15

Are you a builder?

They look like rigger boots.

LaRegina · 18/05/2013 17:20

They look like cartoon wellies to me - I didn't know what they were before, but I do now.

happyreindeer · 18/05/2013 17:25

How can nice floral patterns make anyone feel stabby? Do not get it. Buy then op if you love them and stuff everybody else.Life`s too short to worry about wellies. I recently bought yellow converse and I love them.

tri10 · 18/05/2013 17:28

I love them! But then I have short glossy purple hunter wellies so prob not the best judge.

My sis has this jacket www.superdry.com/womens/jackets/details/38693/boat-jacket

They would be perfect together if your into matchy matchy

EleanorFarjeon · 18/05/2013 17:46

Cath Kidston makes me feel nauseous too.

I like rigger boots too.

I wear them for work if it rains.
