Can I wear heels with skinny jeans??

[beela]

For an evening in the pub?

I have no fashion sense whatsoever, please help!

If it helps, I am late 30s, 5'3ish and a size ten. Recently lost quite a bit of weight and have no idea how to dress any more.

Hell yeah

Yes definitely, it's my going out uniform

Yes of course!

Ha ha - I was about to say ‘hell yeah’ too

Absolutely! I think it's a great look.

Of course!

Yes! And a “nice top” obvs.

I never see anyone out wearing skinny jeans/heels/ nice top anymore. Everyone usually wears flares/ cropped flares and trainers, or midi skirt/t-shirt/sweatshirt and trainers.
I think I must live in a very non-dressy part of Essex.

RightKnockered I'm obviously in the posher part of Essex

Heels look a bit dated to me at the moment and that's coming from heel lover.

Yes definitely! Pointy toed and skinny heeled (e.g. stilletos) work really well with skinny jeans.

Yeeeeeessssss 100% but if the jeans crease/go lose at the ankle, roll them up so they end just over the ankle. I like turned up jeans anyway to be fair but the space between the shoe and heel lengthens the leg too

Interesting, thank you!

It must be a bit regional, because in the rural west country, it would look as if you were on the pull... which you might be TBF. Here we would wear the same but with shoes that assumed you would be walking home.

I only ever see jeans/heels/nice top on Mumsnet, never in real life. I must go to really scruffy places.

Haha, no, not on the pull.

I like heels because they make me taller - most of my friends have a good few inches on me. If we're out for a meal I usually wear flats because we'll be sitting down so it doesn't matter.

When I used to go out lots, ie 10 years ago before dc, it was all bootcuts with heeled boots. Feeling old now!

I think rolled up boyfriend or girlfriends jeans with heels looks a bit more modern than skinnies (plus are more flattering). However, stack loads of people still wear skinnies so you won’t look out of place if you do.

Wearing heels makes you look like you're 'on the pull'????
How utterly depressing.

Court heels with skinnies is a big no (from me). Ankle boots or flats.
Court heels look a bit dynesty (to me).
I don’t think the line of the foot and skinny jeans works well with courts.

Roll them up or crop them

Ella, to a private home or dinner, heels are fine. Just not in the pub! This is rural, really really rural.

@XingMing I grew up in the heart of the Cotswolds, In the days of my youth (not now because it's full of ex Londoners now)our local pubs were the kind where everyone would turn round and stare at you when you walked in... if you weren't a local the whole pub would go quiet for the rest of the evening!
So I guess in that context I get what you mean, heels would have been considered perhaps a little 'suggestive'

I wear skinny jeans with heeled sandals.
Youngsters nowadays are going out all dressed up but wearing their Vans. When my dds we're going out like this I asked if they were wearing shoes/heels they said no one really does anymore. Here anyway

Heels?! Why do you think that’s a good idea. You might as well tie your ankles together and be hobbled that way. Ridiculous

Hmmm I don't know...I think in my area they might look a little dated actually! It's more likely others would be wearing trainers (in a "fashion" way not a "I don't care and just want to be comfy" way). But I doubt anyone would really care.
