No mean comments please, I really like them 😁

I've never been much cop at putting outfits together. What would go with these?

I have a silver lamé mini dress i found in the sale in new look recently that i would wear those boots with.
Theres quite a few 60s style pattern stuff in primark at the moment.
Check out some of the retro fashion stuff on instagram

Love this, thank you!

60s white boots were leather - and gorgeous. My mother had a pair of patent footed summer boots - a sort of net/lacy legging. Both sorts worked well with hotpants, mini skirts/dresses, especially Quant.

White wellies just don't work. Wellies are for mucky stuff and white wellies don't need mud.

I think this looks quite nice, I do have a shirt + waistcoat combo somewhere in the wardrobe 🤔

In answer to your question - you can’t.

Get them in black

boxybox · 28/09/2022 21:34

I've seen them style with shirts & bare legs but not sure how that relates to winter in real life as opposed to a photo.

cherry2727 · 28/09/2022 21:36

Op I actually want a pair of those but in black ! I think your colour is very brave ! I would wear in black with leggings and jumpers !

Aren’t they a nubuck/suede? The ones you got are plastic?

They're not the exact pair I have just very similar. I couldn't find a picture of mine on the site so used a similar picture. They're like a faux leather.

Ok, so plastic? Which is very different to the suede/nubuck ones. 😀

WonderingWanda · 28/09/2022 21:45

Just had a little Google and a bright coloured jumper dress. All black. Either way a short skirt.

Theweeklymoan · 28/09/2022 21:45

Yeah I'll be leaving the thread now, I don't like the belittling tone from some posters I feel a bit shit now. Thanks for the serious suggestions. Back to the shop they go.

Love them I’ve got some very similar, I’ve got a cream oversized hoodie with a tan gilet to wear with mine

EllaPaella · 28/09/2022 22:04

White, cream and neutral boots in this style are everywhere in the high street this autumn/winter.
I think they are easier to style when they aren't quite so long but there will be loads of styling ideas on insta before long.

HesMyLobster · 28/09/2022 23:18

My fashion loving DD20 has almost this exact pair.
She wore them all last autumn/winter.
I never would have chosen them and admit to raising a sceptical eyebrow when she first showed them to me, but they look absolutely amazing on!
She wore them with pleated minis, jumper dresses, pinafore dresses and tights or leggings and long shirt/sweater combos - so yes quite a 60s vibe but more modern so not like fancy dress.
They are very practical too and with a bit of care still like new ready for this season (I know because she came home from uni this week to collect them and was so excited to wear them again)
Don't send them back OP Smile

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 28/09/2022 23:32

You need a white apron and hat to rock real abattoir chic.

caramelsauce · 29/09/2022 05:26

OP don’t send them back if you like them! They are all over insta at the moment I think they work best with bare legs so a jumper dress, shirt mini dress, skirt and top or even tailored shorts jumper and a blazer.

I had a pair almost identical to that when I worked at a crab factory. I wore them with an overall, protective goggles and a hammer and never got any weird looks.

😂😂😂

ZealAndArdour · 29/09/2022 05:47

I think you have stolen them off this lady who looks like she’s just in her socks and overshoes, and you should give them back.

urbanbuddha · 29/09/2022 05:56

I saw someone wearing these the other day - short patterned mini, pale jumper, shorter open coat, all in pale pinks and creams. Fairly heavy make-up. She looked very striking, in a good way.

cherrysthename · 29/09/2022 06:12

Oh ignore the meanies, OP. They're the type to look faux-concerned at people in ripped jeans and offer to buy them a new pair 😂

Jayneisagirlsname · 29/09/2022 06:43

Please keep them and wear them! I love seeing people in clothes and shoes that are different to my boring choices. I couldn't wear them, just not me but I guarantee I'd walk past you and admire your style.

I think the jumper dress & boots combo would look great.

ChutneyVirgin · 29/09/2022 06:45

Love it that any criticism of the Sluice Boots means that one is head to toe in jaunty prints 😀

hattie43 · 29/09/2022 06:47

Sorry but they are horrible .

coldfeetmama · 29/09/2022 07:31

How unkind

OP didn't ask what people thought of them , she asked for styling advice

If you saw them thinking mmmm I can't help with this one as not my style or no idea , then you just scroll on

OP wear your boots , I've seen lots very similar around now , don't be put off by random strangers 👢
