I am on a quest for winter boots. I have a grey pair and a tan pair and both have 4" heels. I need some flat boots. Preferably lace up or with some kind of chunky detail and knee high. I am kind of considering getting a pair of knee high docs? But I'm also rather in love with these and I am not sure why.

Any suggestions? If I find a pair I am absolutely in love with, I'll spend the extra money. Apart from my two pairs of heeled boots and my converse, I don't really have a lot of winter shoes that are practical for walking around and stuff.

tania · « **Reply #1206 on:** 10 Mar 2011, 19:10 »

i'm debating getting a pair of tall docs too, my absurdly huge calves don't like most winter boots and the fact that most docs lace up and don't look half bad is a major plus. i personally can't wear these cos of the calf problem, but i think they are really nice and would probably be very comfortable and versatile too. i like plain boots though so that's my personal bias.

for myself i am kind of looking at these but i haven't yet decided if they are tacky or not. i need some tallish boots to wear with jeans/dresses and i like plaid, whatever.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1207 on:** 10 Mar 2011, 19:15 »

Jamie knee high docs will not go with your dainty girly style.
I'm not really a fan of flat boots although a pair of simple black or chocolate brown riding boots would look very nice.

Thinking of getting a pair of these despite costing roughly a hojillion dollars.

Not really sold on the looks but my uncle loves his.

The fucked thing is that those are huge in NZ among the trendsetting crowd. "cool" people don't seem to recognise that most fashion makes you look like a kiddie fiddler...

Dammit who puts a hammer in their pockets anyway, that is dumb. That is why carpenter's jeans have a hammer loop.

I'm not sure why that, of all the monstrosity of those pants, is what bothers me most, but it does.

so long legs are out then? and long torsos in? Does that mean heels will go out of fashion too?

Also was that block of text moved but somehow kept the line breaks? "De- signed" "inova- tive"

Turns out there's a Diesel store in Perth now. I'd been driving to uni and not stopping in the city for so long that when I went through the city this week I was amazed at how much cool new stuff there is. Lots of cool new stuff. Perth is doing pretty well, I think.

edit - Heels and long legs will never go out of fashion. They're just too sexy for that.

Alex C · « **Reply #1214 on:** 11 Mar 2011, 08:32 »

Yeah sam, I think my only problem with the boots are that I have unrealistic expectations for anything that costs over $300. Personal hangup.

I think I know how they made that mistake with the crotch. They asked carpenters how much room they needed for their tools. There were some miscommunications.

speaking of jeans i've decided i'm gonna spend my tax return on these, i know i should really be responsible and put it into savings or something but fuck it, i've worked really hard to lose weight and look awesome this year and all of my jeans are raggedy and too big on me and i just REALLY want to have at least one pair of nice flattering jeans that fit properly again. my phenomenal ass deserves better

That looks like a shirt you'd wear over the Iron Man suit. I mean, why else would you need that pocket in the center of the shirt?

I don't see what you would put in that chest pocket that wouldn't make you look weird also. It's a no-no for me.

Question: What makes certain type of clothing vintage?

Papersatan · « **Reply #1231 on:** 12 Mar 2011, 21:44 »

Scarychips · « **Reply #1232 on:** 12 Mar 2011, 21:46 »

Is that really it? It's not a particular style or anything?

nekowafer · « **Reply #1233 on:** 12 Mar 2011, 22:09 »

Vintage can be used to describe anything made between the 1920s and the 1980s. It's just a nicer word than old.

calenlass · « **Reply #1234 on:** 12 Mar 2011, 22:11 »

I believe people have confused "vintage", which is an age term that precedes "antique", and "retro", which I believe means something akin to "throwback". I think "vintage" has recently evolved to also mean "authentic from the era".

So, no, vintage is not a style. Retro-[decade] is a style.

Scarychips · « **Reply #1235 on:** 12 Mar 2011, 22:31 »

Alright, thanks a lot for the clarification, guys!

Common misconception, but as a whole you are tragically not vintage. I mean, like, your eyeballs and your heart, those are vintage gold by now, but things like your hair and your teeth, not so vintage. I mean, if you had dentures made out of your baby teeth, that'd be ultra-vintage but also ultra-unsettling so, you know, now you can look forwards to your thirties when you'll have a vintage mouth-full of teeth!

I feel it necessary to point out that those are the exact shoes my dad has. He buys a pair, wears them until they are falling apart, and then buys a new pair. The process has been repeated for the last 2 decades.

Fuck the haters, boat shoes are awesome! Just... not that particular pair. Sorry dude.

Definitely no. Those are old man shoes. Not in the way that looking like Mr. Rodgers has become trendy, but in a way that looks like you are wearing your dad's clothes only because you have nothing else to wear.

pwhodges · « **Reply #1246 on:** 14 Mar 2011, 10:07 »

...as time goes by I'm finding myself liking boat shoes more and more. Though I will admit the single-tone leather is EXACTLY what my dad wears whenever he's at home, and I'd probably stay away from them.

I think I prefer stuff like these a little more:

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1248 on:** 14 Mar 2011, 10:28 »

Ain't nothin' wrong with them shoes except that they tend to bespeak a very narrow, specific style. Unless you're already dressing ridiculously preppy, (like, knotting-sweaters-around-the-neck preppy) I'd advise against.

E: talkin about the shoes from Scarychips' post. Vans moc-tops are definitely NO
