killer heels Posted Tuesday at 11:53 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:53 AM Proper heels, for me anyjow 4 inches plus are rarely seen these days, unless really clumpy platforms. With the me too movement, woke ness etc, do you think they'll ever return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the me too movement, woke ness etc, do you think they'll ever return? It's cyclic. They'll be back again just like before. This time I expect more unisex as heels are the last bastion to fall. Some of us are already pushing it. I wear 5 inch stilettos everywhere pretty much everyday. The positive reactions I get tell me acceptance is there, you just need to own it.

Shyheels Posted Tuesday at 01:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:18 PM I think it is a bit different this time. Yes, fashion is cyclical but this downturn isn’t about the usual restlessly shifting tastes and fashions but about a new kind of authoritarianism where a nasty vocal minority on Twitter etc. can - and do - bully the larger populace into following a particular narrative. Its possible that heels may make a return, but it will take more than just the usual pendulum swing. , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlroseplant Posted Wednesday at 10:01 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:01 AM There are no talking points I'm aware of that have the least thing to do with fashion cycles or habits. The fact that one can now get through life quite easily without ever having owned a suit or a dress, or had occasion to wear such, speaks much more to the issue. On a somewhat different subject, aren't we supposed to call it "X" now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted Wednesday at 03:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:48 PM It’s always going to be Twitter to me, and I don’t want a bar of it. What in earth was Elon Musk thinking - if you can call it that - when he decided to name his rapidly shrinking investment “X”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphax Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM It's another prescient vision of the future by Musk, because Twitter might very well indeed be everyone's (e)x-platform in the future... Heel heights are definitely cyclical. What do they say? Stocks, hemlines and heels go up together? In the 70s the pundits thought all women would be wearing baggy t-shirts and Birkenstocks from then on but that didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted Wednesday at 05:03 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:03 PM But in the Seventies we didn’t have social media steering the collective mindset, and fashion followed a more natural ebb and flow. What is happening today is very controlling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
