johnieheel Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Just went to do my monthly shopping in this: Talked to one of my neighbourghs on the way. He seems fine with it, even though he's an older guy. I, myself do not wear skirts or any other artical of (womens) clothing but I like that look. It looks masculine and natural and if I were to see you walking through the mall or down the street, I would have to stop and tell you something like that. Looks good! real men wear heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguy Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I never thought I'd say this, but JeffB makes it look natural for a man to be wearing a skirt and heels and still look masculine. I don't know how you pulled it off, but the whole thing just works so Kudos JeffB He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.

I don't know how you pulled it off, but the whole thing just works so Kudos JeffB Many thanks for the kind words. I do as best I can, the important thing is to enjoy what you're doing, and I enjoyed wearing that skirt! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

NewfieGuyInHeels Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hey all. Ran up to the mall today to visit one of my faveorite shoe stores, Transit. I've been eyeing a pair of sneaker style shoes, with 3.5" stilettos, over the last few days so i thought I'd pick them up tonight while my parents were out (hehehehe) Anyway, here's a close up of the shoes and a shot of them with an outfit. Let me know yer thoughts! http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver17 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Gony, you took my lead with the french pedicure! It looks very nice. It is especially necessarily to have nice toenails when you wear such delecate footwear like that. Let us know if you got any good responses from them.

Mr. X Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Nice pictures Newfie. I can't personally say I like the shoes as they are not my style, but thats just me. At least they go with the outfit though, and as long as you like them who cares what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewfieGuyInHeels Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I didn't expect alot of positive responses for those shoes. They're just the type that you love or hate. But I have a funky taste for shoes anyway. But today I got some more boots from a friend. She was gonna toss them with some other old clothes to a thrift store, then she offeredthem to me, and who am I to turn down free Boots So they came in the mail today. Here's the pics for your veiwing pleasure. Oh, I was out in them today and noticed the shirts in wal-mart, thought they went great with the boots, so I picked them up. http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelD Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I love the second t-shirt there Newfie! Very rockstar and it works with the jeans and boots. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heel-Lover Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi all, Great work from JeffB and Gony.... I wear a suit to work and sometimes change out a pair of suit trousers and shoes for a matching pencil skirt and pumps/slings. I always match the hem line of the skirt to the heel height, high hem (above knee) = high heel, low hem (below knee) = lower heel. This rule works well. I have often changed just my shoes, and have worn mens suits with 5-6 inch pumps, the trousers were never lengthened etc. so the heel and shoe was clearly visible. Because they were pumps with a low vamp at the front it would have made it obvious they were heels. Due to lack of adverse reaction I pushed it a little further into skirts. I believe if I'm wearing a heel I might as well show my ankles since the shoe looks so much better when you can see it all. It also feels great and the pencil skirts suit the higher heels and suit your stride and associated limitations when walking in heels. I have not been brave enough to consider wearing any sandals etc... yet... rgds Heel-Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thought it was about time that I shared a picture or two on this thread. I recently bought a new pair of Nine West slingbacks that I am TOTALLY in love with. They have about a 4 inch heel and they are likely the most comfortable pair of heels I have ever worn. Here is an outfit that I put together to wear with them: 1) Black velvet Clayborn Jacket 2) Goffery Bean French cuff dress shirt 3) Nautica jeans 4) Nine West slingbacks I wore the cuffs over the cuff of the jacket and skipped the cufflinks to give it a more casual look. I am hoping to get a chance to wear this out very soon. http://picasaweb.google.com/HappyFeat11/UntitledAlbum/photo#5054309577042551554 http://picasaweb.google.com/HappyFeat11/UntitledAlbum/photo#5054309577042551554 http://picasaweb.google.com/HappyFeat11/UntitledAlbum/photo#5054309577042551538 Style is built from the ground up!

HeelD Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ^ Hi HappyFeat. Here's a direct link to the gallery (as I'm getting Xs): http://picasaweb.google.com/HappyFeat11/UntitledAlbum HappyFeat, the pictures you've posted aren't working because you haven't used the proper link to the picture (it should end .jpg - you can get the picture URL by Right-click, Properties on the image you wish to use, copying the picture URL). Anyway, those are some very well co-ordinated outfits! You've got the shirt, blazer, pants (a slimmer and longer bootcut might work better but maybe that's just me) and heels just right I think. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing some more of your efforts. BTW - these two pictures I like best: http://picasaweb.google.com/HappyFeat11/UntitledAlbum/photo#5054309577042551570 http://picasaweb.google.com/HappyFeat11/UntitledAlbum/photo#5054309577042551554 Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardianEra Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi all, I can finally post a picture me wearing a skirt and heels! It's in sepia for a vintage look. I'm wearing a grey sweater, a white shirt and tie, a grey skirt and black faux-suede lace-up ankle boots with three inch heels. The white mark on the boots is the reflection of the flash, off of the aluminum aglets I put on the laces. Comments are appreciated. -EdwardianEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneehighs Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 HappyFeat Thanks for adding your pictures. I appreciate how you kept with the streetstyle theme of this thread. Good job. Your outfits look well color coordinated, sharp with the white cuffs protruding from beneath your jacket, and the sling backs are to die for. Good job. NewfieGuyInHeels I am soo happy to see guys like yourself keeping the streetstyle theme of this thread alive. You look great in those free boots...and those Wal Mart shirts-- the lighter one especially-- are awesome. I'd totally wear that red/orange (Im a bit color blind) shirt, with one of your darker sport coats/jackets , and a pair of dark pants and pointy heels like you did HERE You could pull that look off in any NYC setting: from fashion week to clubbing. And your new boots with the white threads as seen in Post #682...good job matching them with your cool coat. EdwardianEra--First off, thanks for the pic. Second off, you have the perfect slim figure to pull off any type of heel. You have slim shoulders as well as a slim rib cage area, which lends itself to wearing heels perfectly. You are lucky you have a thin figure. As far as the outfit goes, its tough to tell from the pic how well you color coordinated your outfit. Based on what you said about the items, grey and black do work well together...so that is a good color combo choice. A grey sweater and a grey skirt will create a monochromed look, which will slim you even more. Until the eye reaches the shoes...at which point I think the personality and character of the shoes will speak louder than the heels. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.

ShockQueen Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 EdwardianEra - your pic speaks TRUE CLASS there. I like the pose and the composition. You pulled that off with style!

NewfieGuyInHeels Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Thanks alot Kneehighs!!!! I really appreciate the time you put into giving all that great feedback and advice. Next time I have my camera out, I'll deffinately try the burnt orange T/Black sport jacket/black jeans/pointed boots Outift for a pic And as for my Stiletto sneakers ( http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ze/Shoes01.jpg ), I LOVE them, but I'm a little stuck on finding good outfits to go with them. They seem to make my feet look really small and somewhat unproportioned with my flare/bootcut jeans, and honestly the blueshirt/black jeans outfit I'm really not a fan of myself, just something a friend suggested I try. Here's 2 others I did with those shoes..... http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/Me158.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/Me161.jpg So if you ever find yourself board, or with a little time while on the site, I'd love some more tips/input/suggestions on my stiletto sneakers. Thanks again! http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Nice boots, EdwardianEra! I'm looking for a similar pair myself, but with a slightly higher heel. I also totally appreciate the "sepia" effect... and when I am, at last, lucky enough to find a pair like yours in my size, I plan on taking some "period" looking photographs - maybe with a few old-timey looking props thrown in to add to the overall nostalgic feel. Thanks for the post and the pic - keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieGuyInHeels Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Just wanted to try my Knee boots with my jeans rolled up, let me know what you think. Thanks! http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/darthraze/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyFeat Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 First, I would like to offer thanks to HeelD for pointing out my error in posting my pictures. This is a fairly new process for me and I am happy for any feedback...techie wise and fasion wise. Also, thanks for the great feedback from Kneehighs! I wanted to try again, this time sharing some thrift store finds I recently came across. Today's pictures: Kakhi Clayborn 3 button suit (thrift store) Perry Ellis short sleeve, mock neck sweater (not thrift store) Chocolate Franco Sarto Mary Janes...about a 3 inch heel...found them on sale and just couldn't let them go. Frankly, I thought they were a bit dressy for jeans and bought this suit with them in mind. OK, I have tried again with the pictures. If it doesn't work, I am more than happy to keep trying to get it right. Style is built from the ground up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelD Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 No worries HappyFeat! Glad to be of help. Again you have co-ordinated the outfit well, but I would definitely choose a different cut pants to go with those heels. This weekend I had four days off of work so I spent it up in Wales with my GF. On Saturday and Sunday we hung around Abergavenny. Here's what I wore: SATURDAY: Shirt - Primark Jeans - Cherokee Shoes - Cheapy Chinese shoes I bought from Pearl River in NY (The stain is on the mirror, not on me BTW!) SUNDAY: (The Shoes) T-Shirt - M&S Jeans - FCUK Shoes - Bronx On Monday we went to Llandrindod Wells and Builth Wells (followed by Llantrwyd Wells on the way home). Weather was poor but we still had a good time. Here's what I wore: My face looks weird in this picture because my GF took it before I was ready!! (The boots) Black Jacket - TU Green Sweater - M&S Black Tee - Topman Jeans - GAP Boots - Clarks Bag - Kenneth Cole Reaction We had a wonderful day. Proves you can freestyle almost anywhere in the UK.

HappyFeat Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Continuing my thrift store oddesy...Here are to other suits that I picked up recently... This suit is the same cut as my previous post, only in black Claybourn Three Button Suit Red Silk Short Sleeve Shirt Black Bandelino Open Toe Pumps, about a 3 inch heel The shoes I actually found on a sale rack at a local discount store for $25! I was so thrilled. Style is built from the ground up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 My final thrift store suit is a wool Botnay 500 double breasted in a dark Navy Blue. In this picture I wore it with a white Perry Ellis Tee and my *preppy* Agnier navy blue pumps. Though they have a fairly low heel, these are a pair of my favorite shoes for going out. They have little "kilties" on the vamp and san be sexy, cute, or stylish depending on what I wear with them. Style is built from the ground up!
