A closed heel is best for flared trousers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-best-chunky--heeled-summer-shoes#post-1447371 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:59:55 +0000 unfrumped 1447371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo, Angie, thanks for advice! The laceless part stemmed from how much use I've gotten from some current laceless oxfords that function almost like an ankle boot but without the worry over the shaft and pants leg fits.<br />Diana, yay, those closed-toe ones in the last photo would be fine for work.<br />Old chic, thank you. I am a patent leather fiend. I may avoid pointy-toes due to foot issues but yes, am looking for what seems less wintry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-best-chunky--heeled-summer-shoes#post-1447350 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:47:51 +0000 Angie 1447350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote heeled laceless oxford.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-best-chunky--heeled-summer-shoes#post-1447346 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:43:12 +0000 Diana 1447346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, my go-to in this kind of situation is my Naot platforms (first find below, they look a lot better on a foot).&nbsp; They have a 3" total height (which I can normally never wear) but feel like less than 2" because of the platform.&nbsp; I think these may be a bit too chunky for your style, but Naot also makes platform wedges that would work similarly.&nbsp; And with the whole 70's resurgence they'll probably be pretty on trend this summer too.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: Crap, missed the no open toes part.&nbsp; I have these eileen fisher platform booties that might work.&nbsp; There's also a slightly more open clog version.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-best-chunky--heeled-summer-shoes#post-1447341 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:35:14 +0000 old chic 1447341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black patent leather always seems right for summer.&nbsp; How about pointy black patent booties/shooties, maybe with open sides? A black/white patent spectator heeled loafer would look cool, too. Don't know if it's on-trend, but certainly is classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-best-chunky--heeled-summer-shoes#post-1447227 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:03:10 +0000 unfrumped 1447227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goal:&nbsp; be able to wear, &nbsp;in warmer weather, some all-season straight or<br /> mini-bootcut trousers that are already hemmed long-ish for boots in winter&nbsp;so are<br /> too long for my summer flats and ½” heel type shoes. </p> <p>--So,<br /> need &nbsp;&nbsp;maybe one versatile pair of &nbsp;shoes for &nbsp;spring and summer that has same heel height as<br /> my boots. </p> <p>--Up to<br /> 2” heel, prefer 1-1/2 “, comfortable, cooler than boots (though worn with either<br /> thin socks or nude knee-highs depending on style. </p> <p>--Pant<br /> colors are variations on black and dark gray and mini-patterns in same. So,<br /> even basic black, vs dark gray, darkish colors, combination colors, possibly red!&nbsp; Very subdued metallic works—pewter and not<br /> sparkly. Generally am not liking the nude shoe with long dark pants for me<br /> though need the above in nude for skirts!.</p> <p>This<br /> would be kind of a pants-covering -footwear &nbsp;look but not exactly floor-sweeping and would<br /> be an alternative silhouette to more tapered pants worn scrunched over<br /> lower-heeled footwear, &nbsp;(the lower-heeled<br /> shoes generally being more reliably comfortable for long-day wear.)</p> <p>Styles<br /> considering: heeled laceless oxford, shootie, heeled loafer, closed-toe<br /> slingback, cutout bootie, monkstrap. Also wedge versions&nbsp;when appropriate instead of blocky heel. &nbsp;(No peeptoes or open toes).</p> <p>My<br /> guess is that it’ll be trial and error , keeping an eye out for any and all and<br /> finding the best fit and color and maybe my sugar or poison eye.</p> <p>But,what say Angie and the forum on best-bets<br /> for updating? Are any of these totally “wrong” if I found a good fit (e.g., are<br /> heeled loafers “out”). And/or other details to consider—color, reptile,<br /> metallic. Or is "multiple trends on the go" my friend here?</p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions or musings.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
