Are these frumpy or ok? (They are a pewter colour, not black)

They're really cool, what are you planning to wear them with?

Slub · 28/06/2021 19:27

I like them.

I've got those shoes and I am cool as fuck. Grin. They are really comfortable too.

RockstarMartini · 28/06/2021 19:58

I like them! Where are they from?

RockstarMartini · 28/06/2021 19:58

PS obviously I am cool AF too 😎

HowNowUnholyCow · 28/06/2021 20:04

I have them too and I’m completely down with the kids

shallIswim · 28/06/2021 20:10

Would look good in winter with tights and that dress. Not for bare legs In summer though

MissMissTorrance · 28/06/2021 20:11

Oh my, they're awful.

Pinkcadillac · 28/06/2021 20:14

Humm I like them separately but not together. I'd try pointy flats in tan with that dress

Bagelsandbrie · 28/06/2021 20:18

I don’t like them at all, sorry!

cookinahurry · 28/06/2021 20:19

Lady at work has them, they look frumpy on her IMO

HowNowUnholyCow · 28/06/2021 20:21

The dress is longer on me, so there won't be so much bare leg on show..can't do flat court type shoes tho.

I've got the "silver metallic" suede ones (more like sparkly white). They are sooo comfortable. They've been admired lots. I like to think I'm cool Grin

HowNowUnholyCow · 28/06/2021 21:10

Thanks. I'm hoping for comfort, and slightly off the beaten track.

EllaPaella · 28/06/2021 21:12

I love them

3Britnee · 28/06/2021 21:33

That dress with those shoes would be hideous imo. Sorry.

StCharlotte · 28/06/2021 21:40

They also do a sort of nude colour.

WeirdArchitecture · 28/06/2021 21:45

It's the oversized look, absolutely coveted in Japan, and by Toast lovers everywhere:)
The shoes work perfectly with the aesthetic of the dress.
I am too chicken to go the whole hog with oversized stuff, and I wonder why, when I am similarly built to Japanese women, it always makes me feel buried alive. I look best in sports leggings and a fitted fleece Blush.

if you can get away with this, I envy you. I love this style!

EversoDelighted · 28/06/2021 21:47

They'd be fine without the tan coloured edge round the join, so many Clarks shoes have that and it spoils them for me.

WeirdArchitecture · 28/06/2021 21:48

In fact I wanna blow a whole heap of money on a massive hemp dress.
won't do it though, im a rural sort and I can't see how id pull it off going up hills in the rain.
I am permanently stuck with fjallraven and mountain-fucking-warehouse.
enjoy your dress and shoes op!

maybe for special occasions...

MrsMaizel · 28/06/2021 22:08

I like the colour and have a similar pair but more DM looking from Dune several seasons ago but only for Winter wear . Not sure about the wedge and the 2 little stitches say Hotter or Moshulu to me .
