Are you talking posh trousers and high heels? If so, then if I'm wearing a trouser suit and heels at work I'll wear knee highs

nailpolish · 16/10/2008 15:20

yes, dressy trousers and sheos

ie not jeans and trainers otherwise it would just be socks

i just cannot bring myself to do it

Depends how cold it is. Today I am wearing trousers and wedges at work with nothing on my feet. But they are a little bit cold.

For going out- in sandally type heels, bare feet.
Everyday I wear trousers and shoes for work (hush puppies or el naturalista) and I wear socks with them. I am too cold otherwise. I managed to wear bare feet and sandals 1 day this year in UK it has been terrible.

peach - i mean high heels. you woldnt wear socks with high heels

I actually have worse static problems with tights and skirts. Yesterday I was having real issues with my skirt attaching itself to my tights and creeping up my legs.

Well I think the only answers are either bare feet or nylons in some form or other. I do think it is warm enough today though to do shoes and trousers barefoot.

Also if I was on a night out and wearing heels and jeans I would definitely be barefoot.

WayneAteASlob · 16/10/2008 15:29

Naily - bite the bullet...it's kneehighs or pop socks unless you have smoot, non white feet. Tights will give you static, and a seam line.

Or you could just wear high heel boots under your trousers to solve the problem....

dh recoiled in horror the one time i wore knee highs

i suppose i could whip them off before he sees

but then there is always the red line just below the knees (lol)

Deffo bare feet on a night out and hope the alcohol insulates you against the cold!

nailpolish · 16/10/2008 15:52

its just the shoes hurt me a wee bit - i know this could be solved with a wee knee high

OP posts:
WayneAteASlob · 16/10/2008 16:19

could you wear 'footies' or whatever they're called? However you are NOT ALLOWED to wear them if any part of them is visible.

If you're on a night out with DH, then why not go for hold ups or even stockings and suspenders - and tell him only when you're out that you're wearing them!!!!

FimboGotAxed · 16/10/2008 16:21

You get fishnet knee highs, do M & S not do ankle versions of pop socks or passion killers as they are known in my house.

nailpolish · 16/10/2008 16:21

oh cod just had a good idea - fishnet

OP posts:
bozza · 16/10/2008 16:23

fishnet might look good/better but how are they going to stop your shoes hurting?

WayneAteASlob · 16/10/2008 16:23

at their being a parallel cod universe.

But that people may think you've just outted Fimbo!!!

FimboGotAxed · 16/10/2008 16:24

LOL, sadly I think its a typo....

WayneAteASlob · 16/10/2008 16:24
