Kitten heels and trench coats. Things fashion editors try to make happen

[MelonKim]

and are just vile

Agree. Hate both. I look ridiculous in a trench and find them v uncomfortable. I do like that pic tho, the shopkeeper trnch woman. But see, when she ties that up against a strong westerly she’ll look uncomfortable. IMO o’course.

As for kitten heels, oh crepes, my pear shape does not thank them.

Oh cripes I meant. The crepes were for my thighs

Agree Flo, trenches are not fit for purpose. Ridiculous uncomfortable things

And yet I still want one I am convinced there's one out there for me somewhere.

Ach, bless your energy Flo. And let us know if you ever find one that vaguely nice and even a teeny bit useful!

I will but, as I don't even suit beige, I'm almost certainly wasting my life away.

I quite like a trenchcoat. But it's irritating how they get wheeled out every Spring as if they've just been invented. Same with dressing to look like a sailor.

I love both. Sometimes together!

(But I am a tall size 8)

I live in hope of finding a cotton hot pink trench coat in just the right length for a Munchkin. I suspect it will never happen.

Trench coats are a wardrobe staple..!

Kitten heels I dont Love, but don’t mind on a sock boot.

I have a navy one, it’s my spring and autumn coat.

Dh does a thing where he ties the belt at the back so it’s flat. Looks nice.

I love my trench coat, have just got it out ready to wear in Spring rainy weather. But I can not do kitten heels. I tried some on yesterday, and no. It may be that they have to be styled a certain way, but I really can not be bothered to make effort for the sake of wearing such an uncomfortable shoe. I'd rather go straight from boots to trainers/loafers/brogues/birkies

Also, do not understand mules. How the hell do you keep them on your feet FFS?!

Kitten heels are chic.

Only if you stand still. Probably not great for stomping around the London underground

I love trench coats and it has never occurred to me that they wouldn't suit everyone until now.
What's wrong with kitten heels? I bought a pair in Jigsaw yesterday and they look fab. I suppose it's all about what suits you. Can't wear heels due to plantar fasciitis but can just about do a couple of hours in a kitten heel with my orthotics in. Ooh, the glamour.

I started a thread on kittens heels are back. I couldn’t believe the hate! I don’t mind them (size 8 but never considered any relation to weight/height before.)

I wouldn’t wear a trench coat although I like the look in the pic from a pp.

Aww, I love a trench coat but can never find a brilliant quality one in a good colour for me. I have a beautiful Hobbs light blue one that would be prefect if just a teeny bit brighter. I never realised until this thread that they didn’t work for everyone.

I’m also planning on buying some kitten heels. I have tiny and dainty feet so hoping they work for me.

Now I’m wondering if people will be looking at me thinking ‘urgh’! Oh well...

Love a good kitten heel. Am a size 8 though and 5ft7. Never thought about that making a difference but perhaps it does!

I like kitten heels.

Trench coats just don't work on me. I try to buy one every couple of years, but they look shit and are very uncomfortable.

I think cropped widelegs are a bit of a thing that fashionistas are forcing on us at the moment.

I've succumbed - but I'm not wholly convinced I don't look like a bellend.

Ironically, I think they look best with kitten heeled knee boots underneath.

How can trench coats not work for others?

They are a smart summer layer, cover a multitude of sins, any coat with a belt defines the waist ...it's all good!

ellapaella that's the way i'm planning on looking in my recently aquired trench.
kitten heels are a nono though

No-one forcing me - I look marvellous in cropped widelegs, although I think we may have had this conversation before

My thighs and knees are shot but my ankles are still mighty fine, if I do say so myself.

Just waiting for spring as cannot get them to look right with boots.

I wear trench coats whenever I'm able. I think I look OK.
