Show me what you wear on your feet with leggings....

.... not boots. Socks a necessity.

I can't bring myself to wear ballet flats with socks. My feet get cold

I seem to remember this problem last time around, but then I could get away with jaunty socks and those velvet dolly shoes. Not sure I can pull that off now

So, what do you wear when you don't fancy boots with them?

I have only worn boots with my leggings. Can't think what would look ok if not ballet flats, so not much help I'm afraid!

Only boots as I only wear leggings in Winter.

BariatricObama · 22/02/2010 08:28

flippers

I wore leggings last year (long ones) with gladiators. Like this kind of style I think it works if you wear a voluminous top though I have long legs which probably helps. Not with socks though.

I think they may only be for wearing with boots really.

Plimsolls/converse with trainer socks.

thefinerthingsinlife · 22/02/2010 10:17

monkeysmama those shoes are yummy

bandgeek · 22/02/2010 10:20

I think it would need to be boots if you want to wear socks. What about a pair of ankle boots?

Or a ILOveGregory said, maybe a pair of trainer socks with ballet pumps? Making sure no sock can be seen

MummyTumble · 22/02/2010 10:30

I had the same query.......pumps look the best but i can't bear cold (or wet!) feet!!!

ChristinePrattsDog · 22/02/2010 10:32

lol@flppers

boots fgs

Have worn heeled brogues with ankle socks but have v small feet

aquavit · 22/02/2010 10:34

Tights under the leggings and ballet pumps?

I usually just wear thick tights tbh if I don't want to wear boots, which is rare at the moment

Yes I think pumps look good but not with socks
SUCH a dilemma
As some of my boots aren't waterproof
And it is fecking snowing
AGAIN

onebadbaby · 22/02/2010 10:46

Would only wear boots, sandals or ballet stlye flats. Can't wear shoes and socks! You would look a fifteen year old from the 80s .

ILoveGregoryHouse · 22/02/2010 11:42

onebadbaby that's exactly the look I'm after - I was 15 in 1984 so am clearly nostalgic.

MayorNaze · 22/02/2010 11:44

flipflops.

but not in this weather...brr...

am currently wearing leggings with fake uggs so not much help. when i go out in the rain in a bit i will put black biker boots on so again not much help.

PoppityPing · 25/02/2010 20:34

I knew it was an unsolvable problem. Pixie boots it is then....

I wear these

www.marksandspencer.com/Limited-Collection-Studded-Strap-Ankle/dp/B002F7HYU0?ie=UTF8&qid=1267130226& categoryNodeID=42967030&ref=sr12&page=&node=83157031&sr=1-2&mnSBrand=core&rh=

They are really short so more like shoe boots than the Dick Whittington's pantomime cat look

thislittlesisterlola · 25/02/2010 20:39

wellies and wellie socks if raining or snowing. Prob not fashionable but rain isnt very vogue in my opinion

overmydeadbody · 25/02/2010 20:43

It's got to be boots with leggings in this weather. No point in having cold feet.
