What to wear on my feet with this dress?!!

39 replies

EarlyMorningRain · 06/10/2020 17:37

I bought this dress last winter and never wore it because I had no idea what footwear would go.

My default is usually 14 hole DMs which just dont go with it at all.

So, any suggestions..? (Bearing in mind that I usually wear 14 hole DMs and don't do anything higher than a mid height kitten heel.)

Thanks!

Love the dress. I'd probably still wear my DMs with it. I have two pairs of victorian style ankle boots that I pair with dresses if I want to dress up. I think the boots have to be short ankle boots, anything too long would look odd. I've had a pair of lace up boots from Gabor for years....so soft and comfortable but smarter than DMs.

What about these?

I like the boots but not the heel.

I'm so bloody particular. I dont know what I do want but I know what I dont!

I've got some leopard print ankle boots with a lpw/medium stiletto heel. I think they would be ideal in black. But they have to look exactly like the ones I have 🙄

If it were me I'd go for something more like this but you said you wanted a lower heal which is trickier and less flattering

Closed shoes and tights are fine, shoes like this no tights. Seeing toes with tights and seams is a massive no

My fave boots are the Mol 2 chukka boot from Fly London

I wear them with all my dresses!

I've just bought these for shoving on with dresses as a DM alternative, they work with most styles so might work for you:

I quite like what the model is wearing. A sort of Mary Jane it looks like?

Agree, my first thought on opening the thread was that they would go really well with this dress.

Or these in suede or leather

I think it probably depends where you plan to wear the dress too. I don't think the clumpy flat knee high boots look dressy enough to wear to a special event, but would be fine with a biker jacket in the pub, for example.

EarlyMorningRain · 07/10/2020 17:49

I'm definitely more of a biker jacket in the pub kinda girl.

I originally bought it to go to the ballet but ended up wearing something I already had because I didnt know what to wear with it.

I'm of the opinion that there is no outfit that cant be improved with pair of docs so this one stumped me a bit!

I do like those knee high boots and the first ankle boots. Hm. Ok. Well it seems like I have some thinking to do!

Tha is for all the advice!!
