another M&S horror

[Slimthistime]

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.

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

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 😊

I like those, autumn colours are lovely

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

I don't think they're that bad
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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

I like both them boots

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

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.

@Kenworthington there's a matching skirt?

Do you wear them together?

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.

They match my spare room carpet!

Oh God,they're hideous!!

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.
