Is it OK to wear heeled shoes with skinny jeans?

Dh is dubious. I think they look good, but have been scanning everyone's footwear today and find that no-one else is doing this. Will I look a prat?

Not at all. I wear heels with my skinny jeans. However I tend to wear either wedges or cone heels rather than a stiletto.

They look particularly good if there is some ruching at the bottom of the legs or that they sit on the top of your shoes, iyswim.

It depends on how high. I think wearing really high shoes with skinnies is ok on a night out but a bit OTT in the day.

Definitely no to court shoes or such like with them.

crispycake · 01/03/2010 13:22

no not at all.

I often wear heels with my skinnys but as TULPE says they look better with a longer leg jean.

Oh good. They're cone heels, not very high, with a round toe. And the jeans are long-legged. So I can ignore dh as usual then?

yes you can ignore him

Look on netaporter and you'll see lots of the models wearing heels with skinnies.

I wore mine last night with v high shoe boots - its just getting used to a different look I think.

In case you need another voice to tell you to ignore DH and wear skinnies and heels

StevieDunton · 01/03/2010 17:46

yes, wear with spike heels. your legs will look 10000m long. which is a Good Thing

Nelvana · 01/03/2010 19:08

I wore heels with my (very long) skinnies today

bethjeff · 02/03/2010 00:53

Depending on the shoe it can look a tad OTT daytime but in general is very leg lengthening and we approve

I think skinny jeans only look good with heels. With flat pumps, they look studenty, but they can look nice with long flat boots, which are all the rage now.

Aranea · 02/03/2010 14:03

Yes Monadami, I usually wear them with long boots which is why the shoe thing is a bit of a novelty! I am reluctant to wear with flat shoes, as I have short legs

It's absolutely OK! I think you'll see more women in heels and skinnies as it starts to get warmer.
