I recently boughtthese shoesbut don't know what to wear them with!!!

I am size 18 (but shrinking)- I realise if with jeans they should be LONG LONG LONG. but what kind of skirts could I wear them with?

and ..... really not sure here .... being a larger girl, I suppose wearing them with cropped summery trousers is out of the question?

knee length A-line denim skirt?

sounds promising! but seems I will have to show my S&B ignorance by asking why not an A-line skirt??

Rolled up jeans/chinos perhaps.

Generally wedge shoes go with skirts and dresses longor short as long as the skirt isn't tight or slim fitting. They look great with jeans with a wideleg, definately not cropped, depending on the chunkiness of the shoe, they make ankles look thinner or thicker, so I think best to go for wider linen drawstring type summer trousers.

I think they are considered a bit on the frumpy side Numberfour by the stylish ladies here but I like them (and very suited to my size 16 arse)

misswoowoo, for a second i thought you meant my gorgeous shoes!!!! nearly burst into tears!

I am definitely on the frumpy and conservative side though I draw a line (A or otherwise) at crimpolene or polyester trousers

thanks, everyone, for the input. samsonara, you've been a big help.

oh no! sorry! I am not very good at getting my point across ... gorgeous shoes, goes without saying

Am wary of linen drawstring trousers though - they just make people look much larger than they are. Or perhaps thats just on me.

I also like wedges with my skinnies but am small so don't really do wide legs.

Would also look nice with a maxi dress.
