Are these too frumpy?

Need some shoes that I can wear with wide leg crops, shirt etc for work. Maybe weekend wear also

Are these way off point

Really like them actually. Clicked expecting something totally different. The metallic makes them not frumpy at all.

OldEvilOwl · 27/02/2020 13:06

I like them, not at all frumpy

Ellapaella · 27/02/2020 13:06

Ah this is reassuring that I'm not wide of the mark! Desperately trying to up my game- but don't have endless cash to spend- so need to make some wise choices!

As long as you are ok with the colour, they are a good choice.

I hate clarks .. would never buy anything from there however bloody comfy they are . However I do like them a lot !! 😱

babybunny123 · 27/02/2020 13:29

I love these and was thinking of treating myself. Clarks do some really bang on trends and are usually really good quality.

SavageBeauty73 · 27/02/2020 13:31

I really like them.

ParkheadParadise · 27/02/2020 13:33

porple · 27/02/2020 13:33

i like them a lot deffo not frumpy

dontgobaconmyheart · 27/02/2020 13:37

They're ok, a bit...mummy blogger. Which I suppose is a good thing if you're minded towards finding them fashion forward!

Quite casual for work but again, totally depends on your workplace. I'd wear them at the weekend.

Bluntness100 · 27/02/2020 13:39

They are quite nice actually.

Wide leg crops though, I’d think again,,,😏

NiteFlights · 27/02/2020 13:44

No, they’re good.

They're fricken amazing op

johnwayneisbigleggy · 27/02/2020 13:49

I actually was prepared to think yuck but I like them

ChainsawBear · 27/02/2020 20:13

They're not frumpy, but they're quite casual. Kind of more trainer than brogue. They'd be fine with wide leg crops though.

zippyswife · 27/02/2020 20:23

I like them too.. any Clark’s codes out there?..

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/02/2020 20:29

I hate the word frumpy.

I like the shoes.

dudsville · 27/02/2020 20:33

Good choices op!

BestIsWest · 27/02/2020 21:20

I like. Wish they did navy.

Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 27/02/2020 21:32

Wow... love them! Wasn't expecting that Grin

IndieTara · 27/02/2020 21:34

Sorry op those trousers are awful. Love the shoes though

domesticslattern · 27/02/2020 21:36

I have seen these in RL and sadly they weren't as lovely as they look in the photos. They weren't well made so there wasn't a smooth line where the white sole hit the metallic leather. In fact they looked a bit cheap and shoddily put together. Maybe it was just a duff pair.
Pity as I would have bought them otherwise.

wehaveafloater · 27/02/2020 22:01

Cigarette leg trousers would be better than this M&S ones ( they are bloody awful ) shoes are cool - you can get cheap as chips versions of these shoes in different colours on Amazon
