Easter was white patent Mary Janes for us growing up and later white pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000200 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 23:58:13 +0000 Cindy 1000200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't buy them after all. I realized that they would just be another pair sitting in the closet looking pretty. I have the bad habit of buying shoes for my previous life, not practical shoes for my current life since I got sick. LOL<br /> I think I'll look on line for some cobalt blue Converse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000197 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 23:52:23 +0000 Jjsloane 1000197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patent is now year round. I usually judge more by shoe style and those are totally cool. I&nbsp;associate suede with fall and winter only still.&nbsp; </p> <p>I had black patent peep toe wedges that I wore to death last year and I have black patent pumps I wear year round.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000196 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 23:50:41 +0000 Anonymous 1000196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine wearing black patent only in summer! Mind you, my Doc sandals are black patent but it just generally seems wintry to me in pumps and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000189 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 23:26:46 +0000 rachylou 1000189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is only the second time I've ever heard of this rule. I'm curious if it's possibly a Southern rule? I think of black patent for Christmas, white for Easter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000161 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:42:02 +0000 pil 1000161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the ultimate rule follower and that rule would not deter me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000155 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:38:22 +0000 always trying 1000155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patent for spring and summer is one of those old rules like no white before Memorial day or after labor day.&nbsp; Both those rules have been abandoned and many of us are very glad they have been. so maybe your grandmother will say not to wear them in winter, but I doubt anyone else will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000143 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 22:17:51 +0000 Thistle 1000143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I associate black with fall winter. I tend to think of patent as any an time of year fabrication. White and nude better for summer, darker colors for winter. White patent shoes would have me thinking of Easter, but not black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000071 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:33:38 +0000 Cindy 1000071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I associate patent with Easter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000065 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:27:51 +0000 Cindy 1000065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Okay, you've justified the purchase for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000062 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:22:19 +0000 Diana 1000062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, to me black patent is a really wintery look so I vote yay! I associate it with the holidays. I think it would be weird in summer actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-patent#post-1000034 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:50:51 +0000 Cindy 1000034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still wearable in the fall? or does old rule still hold that patent is only for spring &amp; summer? </p>
