ShockQueen Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I'm gearing up my collection of summer sandals. I've found quite a few that are in my size. I still like the platform style, and I can get them quite readily here. Also, since I'm wearing pumps more, then that's a plus also. Sometimes I'll still wear my boots under pants in the evenings.

Highluc Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hi Terra, summer is no reason to abandon boots in toto, there are numerous lighter ankle style boots that still are suitable. On the other hand, loafers are a good option and for really warm weather. There is a sufficiently large choice of styles in open sandals with a wedge or block heel that looks very acceptable under large pants. If you choose beige flared pants and go barefooted in beige sandals (even with a natural kork platform, people will hardly notice. I'm looking forward to wear cloesed toe slingbacks again which I like the most. Just look at last year's summer report on my website to see how many styles are possible.

JeffB Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hello! Well, if you've read other messages I've posted, then you already know I'm a freak for pumps! Stack Heeled loafers and especially sandals are a good bet for this time of season as well. Don't confine yourself to just one style, branch out, diversify! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you do! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I still wear my boots in summer, but I do have two pairs of sandals available which I sometimes wear on really hot days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I wear boots the year round, but I also wear open toe heel mule wedges and similar on hot days in Summer. I don't like sandals too much. It's very difficult to get high heel sandals where the straps don't dig in in some way after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terayon Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 do you guys wear your boots/shoes with shorts? or do ya just wear shorts all year round? I wish i could wear pants all year, but in the summer it often gets 30+ degrees out, reaching over 35 last summer some days...so pants are not an option for anything outside....i think steve madden slinky is sandal i may get for the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolldeg Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of shorts. I'd prefer a skirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highluc Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I rarely wear shorts because I'm afraid of sunburns. I mostly wear light slacks (long and flowing) or even sarongs or ankle length skirts. I also hate the initial contact of my skin with the hot leather seats of a car when wearing shorts.

Calv Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I'll agree with Trolldeg and wouldn't be seen dead in a pair of shorts. I hate them. I wear long trousers all year round, and will wear a pair of open toed wedge mules out in the summer. Suits me OK. We dont get too many opportunities in Britain anyway Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity. Calv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I wear shorts when it suits me, but then all my shorts are leather _________________ Qapla' <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Francis on 2002-05-10 17:49 ]</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Leather shorts were popular in Austria/Germany weren't they? But something tells me Francis's are not of that style! I don't wear shorts except for sport. The weather isn't really hot enough here. We might get 28 or 30 a ouple of days a year if we are lucky.

Calv Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Unfortunately it only takes a day or so of sun for the men around here to don vest (if we're lucky - no top if not)) and shorts. The local Asda supermarket seems to be a magnet.... Just one look is enough to put you off. Do your own thing. Don't be a victim of conformity.

Charlie Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I tend to stay with long pants and ankle boots most of the year. On the extremely hot days, out come my 4" heeled mules. These are nice for slipping out of so that the feet can take a "breath". (I wear them barefooted) Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fj Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I'm wearing my Old Navy wide leg jeans and 3" platform thong sandals from Nomad. I'm not quite up to wearing platforms any place else other than the beach. Haven't got the nerve yet. By the way Payless, and Shoe Pavillion have a large selection of sizes up to a women's size 12 if anybody is looking for platform sandals. Volitile, and Rocket Dog also have larger sizes.

BobHH Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I never used to wear shorts until the BW talked me into it. Now, I wear them all the time, temperature permitting. That's the norm in California! Of course, shorts and spikes are a little obvious, so those are just around home and on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lipstick Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 For every day wear I find a pair of flared trousers in cream does the trick. I can wear most tops with them and also they accommodate almost any pair of sandals or pumps. For going clubbing I am more likely to be found in a denim mini or pair of hot pants. Sandals/mules only in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
