90s block heel school loafers, yes or no? Pic

I've come across these tonight and I'm not sure if I love them or am getting nostalgic for the fifth form lounge circa 1996 Grin

Anyone here partaking in this fashion resurgence? When I've searched they seem to be popular but I'm still undecided if it's a look I can pull off (or even want to!)

Ohhh noooo. They look like shoes you’d get for your dolly. I had a brown pair like that back in the day. I wasn’t even convinced they were nice looking then.

glasshalfsomething · 03/07/2020 22:55

Yes. All the yes. They look so comfortable and smart.

I actually had a Steve Madden pair in tan only a few years ago.

I was expecting Kickers when I clicked in!

I wish. They tick boxes for me - high, comfy, nostalgia, preppy. But I remain unconvinced. I can't imagine seeing them on the streets.

Qwicky · 03/07/2020 22:58

I was expecting Kickers when I clicked in! I had some kickers very similar to the pic Grin

How would you style them?

I have some in brown from R&B, a little bit lower than the ones in your pic.

They are great with trousers especially cigarette pants type. I got quite a lot of use out of mine when I was in the office. Not sure how often they’ll get worn now things are more casual.

Qwicky · 03/07/2020 23:01

Yes, I love them but I can imagine it's one of those buys that I'd put on and actually make it out of the house in. I'd stand in front of the mirror, second guess myself and then wimp out.

Yes. I love them. Cigarette trousers and a longline white blouse. I miss the 90s Sad

Hamsterriffic · 03/07/2020 23:02

I thought kickers too!! Yes, love them but also think it could be nostalgia Grin

Chochito · 03/07/2020 23:05

Yes! Please share the link, OP!

NotNowPlzz · 03/07/2020 23:05

Oh my God I love them.

areallthenamesusedup · 03/07/2020 23:06

fab

My0My · 03/07/2020 23:09

They are 100% Gucci copies. Well I’m assuming they are not Gucci. As such, totally fashionable! If you like them, why not? More of an autumn shoe in my opinion - with cut off trousers.

Ellapaella · 03/07/2020 23:12

They take me right back to my high school days! I like them 😊

Qwicky · 03/07/2020 23:12

these are from office

The ones in pic are actually new look and OOS Sad sorry i hadn't realised

I love ‘em!

LightenUpSummer · 03/07/2020 23:14

I had some at uni in the late 90s, they were surprisingly versatile. I’d be tempted now if I saw them in the shops

unicornparty · 03/07/2020 23:14

The link doesn't work op

felineflutter · 03/07/2020 23:14

Love them. I bought a similar pair from Hobbs off ebay a few years ago and ended up giving them to charity.

Yes. I love them. Cigarette trousers and a longline white blouse. I miss the 90s sad

Argh brings back memories of a really cool friend I had in the 90s. Sad

Qwicky · 03/07/2020 23:15

They are 100% Gucci copies. Yes!
I actually saw some from d&g first and that set me off down the google rabbit hole

chrislilleyswig · 03/07/2020 23:16

I wore them to my graduation

I loved them and would wear a pair

I'm only a wee bit sad because it seems like a couple of years ago but it's more than 20Sad

Qwicky · 03/07/2020 23:17

So sorry! They are Matilda loafers from office

Thank you!

River Island are doing Kickers 😆

Ah memories! I saw a black wrap mini skirt yesterday that reminded me of my school uniform too.

I wonder if Unico bags and Pringle jumpers will be back in fashion soon...

What I really want to come back into fashion is the lace up heeled ankle boots. But without the clicky heels and weird toe.
