another M&S horror

popped up via MN adverts

what's the plan, is it for camouflage when you are stalking someone in autumn leafage?

Oh I like them! I have Blue and Silver embroidered ones from Primark.

YouWereRight · 14/09/2017 10:54

I like them. I have some pink and orange embroidered boots.

SukiTheDog · 14/09/2017 11:09

Well, I can see how they might work for some. Not that bad IMO.

I was in our new M&S yesterday. Had a scoot round. It was all pretty much blousy, shapeless, highly patterned and highly flammable looking dirge.

I bought my Heat n' Serve curry and left. Food's still good 😊

CoolCarrie · 14/09/2017 11:10

I like those, autumn colours are lovely

Maudlinmaud · 14/09/2017 11:13

Nope. For those who like them are you young and trendy? I need a style update badly. Maybe I should be more adventurous.

WeatherDependent · 14/09/2017 11:15

I don't think they're that bad Blush
Obviously not to be worn on a wet day but black skinnies and a black top I think they'd work.

I might buy myself some when they're in the sale as every else hates them

TiramisuQueenoftheFaeries · 14/09/2017 11:16

They're not my personal taste but they're on-trend and hardly an eyesore.

WeatherDependent · 14/09/2017 11:16

Btw I'm 42 so not young and certainly not 'trendy' Wink

Twistmeandturnme · 14/09/2017 11:16

I like them. Alas sold out in my size. I'm getting old and into Gudrun, so bright is in for me.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 14/09/2017 11:17

I've seen them in the shop and they are gorgeous. They seem to get a lot of very positive attention from passers-by of all ages.

Maudlinmaud · 14/09/2017 11:19

Hmmmm I wonder if I should just take the risk. I have no taste btw will happily admit that.

Paintbox · 14/09/2017 11:19

It's not really fair to call them an m&s horror as lots of shops have these kinds of boots in at the moment. It's just this seasons fashion

These are equally horrific.
Unless you're a la Sienna Miller / Kate Moss / Margot Robbie and tripping from one boho do to the next with your coltish legs and ankles on show, they're not a look many would pull off imo

Slimthistime · 14/09/2017 11:20

I've now been indundated with other shops' ads for these

I'll get my co--- slim is yanked off board by large comedy hook

Don't really see what's wrong with them tbh. It would be quite boring if we all dressed the same, plus brocade has been fashionable for ages.

Feel like people love to hate on M&S, yeah it needs to sort out it's basics but no need for it to be just cashmere cardigans and pleated navy skirts.

missmoz · 14/09/2017 11:23

Oh ok fair enough those gold ones are a bit weird, guaranteed to make anybody's calfs look chunky.

Angrycrisplady · 14/09/2017 11:31

I like them! Not much use for rainy /wet winters though so wouldn't buy them as impractical. Good for a winter wedding outfit though

BumWad · 14/09/2017 11:35

I like both them boots

Kenworthington · 14/09/2017 11:36

I like them. I've got the matching midi skirt

Gingernaut · 14/09/2017 11:37

Embroidered plastic leather is everywhere.

Biker jackets, handbags, trainers etc.

They may not be your taste, I can't wear heels but there are plenty of shops selling stuff like this and a lot of people buying it.

lollipop7 · 14/09/2017 11:46

@Kenworthington there's a matching skirt?

Do you wear them together?

Floisme · 14/09/2017 14:19

I wouldn't wear them myself as I don't do heels but I like them - same with the gold ones.

I'm not sure why you have to be young to wear interesting shoes? My ankles are just about the only part of my body that haven't aged and I show them off at every opportunity.

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 14/09/2017 14:33

They match my spare room carpet!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 14/09/2017 14:38

Oh God,they're hideous!!

thecatfromjapan · 14/09/2017 14:44

I'm not rue they are hideous. They are on trend. I'm not going to be wearing them but I have bought some of the kitten heels (2 pairs, in fact). That's the one thing I'm grateful to Teresa May for - ushering in a return of the kitten heel.
