Guest Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thought I'd do something different, normally I'm in jeans and T shirts occasional proper shirts or chino's, summer in shorts when it's warm enough, Whenever? Being suited and booted as the saying goes is fairly rare, well lets leave the boot part out for the time being and go a little bit formal in heels. We have a party next week but the heels have to stay off:mecry:. however I think this works? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty_Shoes Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Interesting look. Very interesting. K Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 That works quite well. Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Then again, if you're going formal would'nt a pair of suede slingback pumps with 4" or 5" heels be more appropriate than sandals? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver17 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I agree with Bubba. I do like the idea, but something more formal like a pointy toe pump or slingback might be sexier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegant Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Really good, but I'd work a bit on the outfit. I think that a black [contrary to dark grey etc.] tailcoat or tuxedo, and possibly a corset for a more androgynous silhouette, would look great. I'd wear classic pumps, too - the sandals don't go very well with formal wear, but it's only my opinion. What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!

HHfanatic Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 That would look nice on women aswell...as long as she is slim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilettoscot Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I agree with a close toed shoe as being "more appropriate", but saying that, it looks like a good summertime look (at parties and such). Formal, though, I'd go with a closed (and pointy) toed pump or sling. Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I agree that a pump would work better...more classic more elegant. However, I wouldn't rule out a sandal, but for a formal event it should be a bit more strappy. I do like the look however! Style is built from the ground up!

Guest Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks Guys It was a bit impromptu I had just got the shirt and was trying it on added the suit and being in the sandals (5"), well I just left them on. My Mary Janes I think would be better. My platforms, as they're knee boots may be a bit wasted but right toe shape. The ankle boots are too rounded toe for this. May go looking for a pointy court shortly, I did fall in love with what I got AnneV on Friday, a pair of deep cherry patent courts (she kept them on for about 3 hours that evening so she really liked them). The suit colour is nearly black and I do have a deeper black waistcoat that comfirms the difference, As I may only be in a suit 6? times a year a Tux maybe wasted, Tails could be more fun. I shall see what turns up and where we go? Thanks again Guys Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Al, in my opinion the trousers could have been longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yes Amanda Those are 29" perfect for flats, I think 31 would be better for those heels (5"), unfortunately none in stock when I got those, otherwise they would have looked a bit better. Thanks again. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latindancer Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I have to agree with a lot of the comments here. I think a nice close toe heel would be a lot better. I think a 4" pump would be nice and really make that suit/tux pop out. Nice look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwl1 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I agree with the comments about a closed toe pump being better with that suit, but I would also recommend dark sheer hose or trouser socks. Black is a classier look than pale skin, which just doesn't suit the suit, if you know what I mean. GWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I quite agree with what has been posted here. A more classy look with a pair of pointy-toed closed pumps and dark hose to set off the whole outfit. Let us know what you decided upon and how the event went for you.

roniheels Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I liked the look and the choice of high heels did not bother me. This is my regular attire: man's suit and high heels. Although I probably would have worn stiletto high heeled pumps with this suit. But it still looks cool. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 All sorted and a lot better 2" on the leg and some 4 1/2" pointed courts. Maybe not enough heel is showing for an outstanding statement but then I'm not that far advanced?

Dawn HH Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Alsheels:-) I like that look with the pointy-toed heels. It just fits so well with your outfit. A woman would look just that way also so you should be just fine. Classy look, my friend. Go for it. Cheers--- DawN HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
