Birkies with socks?

[Wiggletastic]

Ok or not? I crave the comfort but I am concerned that this is possibly a giant fashion faux-pas.

A million times No.

Good lord - no.

You are joking aren't you?

No,no, no!

I actually think it looks cool in a kind of scandinavian way as long you are wearing earthy fleck knit socks and not those individual toe socks in rainbow colours.

Are you insane???

rainbow toe socks

absolutely not

birkies are comfy enough, without socks

if your feet are cold, wear boots

if you are even considering this you are either

1. beyond redemption
2. achingly cool

so go ahead it doesn't matter

I have boots but they are just not comfy enough! I love my birkies but its just too damned chilly to wear them just now. Are you all really sure socks are not ok????

Oh I love birkies with socks.At the mo I am wearing swedish red leather clog sandals with red and cream scandinavian wool socks.

Fine if you live in the muesli belt. And it's all in the socks I'm telling you.

Well, I guess the replies have been a bit ambiguous. Er... NO

what part of no do you not understand ?

My deepest, darkest secret is that I wear Birkies with wooly socks at home during the winter. Once I even ventured as far as the compost bin in the front garden. Can not for one second ever contemplate doing that in public.

I will g against the grain and say yes,
The most comfortable outfit I ever wore was birkies with thick walking socks, a long kaftan and a jumper.
I looked adorable
(I am serious, btw)

Where is this 'muesli belt' you speak of? I'm pretty sure its nowhere round here.

I think I will just go for it. Tis more likely I am 'beyond redemption' than 'achingly cool' but what the hell, I can live with it.

Off to research 'suitable' socks....

I wore my Birkies on the school run last week.

You're clearly a wimp.

I did once see a brilliant pair of knitted knee socks with birks and they looked fab. (I know it sounds crap but it really did look good.)

Yes! Sod 'em I sometimes need comfort and why do I have to conform to everybody's opinion? In fact, Birkies+socks are the best thing to wear on your feet when flying as feet are not too restricted and are still warm enough but don't sweat. Hah!

I do not live in the muesli belt.I live in a cashmere sweater from Brora and land girl cords or a pre-war tea dress.And I say fight for your right to wear those socks! (do agree sockage is crucial though,must be wool and chunky,see prada!if miuccia says its ok,its ok.)

mrsR

did you win ?

(the fancy dress contest, that is...)

Llaregub, you are a hardy soul for sure! Do you live in the 'muesli belt'? Is it warmer there?

Hellymelly, you are now officially my fashion icon...

You always look fab though helly !

How rude AF

Honestly, Birkies with thick woolly socks look and feel great, Go for it
