Cal. &nbsp;But, after seeing your new metallic beauties, also at a sales price, you did well! &nbsp;Love the forum wisdom and it really helps when you're on the fence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1337014 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:39:57 +0000 always trying 1337014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do&nbsp; you think you would wear them with short skirts and tights?&nbsp; I think that would be a cute look that could go for the colder months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336996 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:23:45 +0000 viva 1336996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. </p> <p>I solved the problem, sort of, by listening to you all and forsaking the black slip-ons and -- instead -- ordering the JCrew silver loafers I have been stalking; they finally went on sale today, 25% off. If they work, I can wear them as the dressier fall flat with leggings and slouchy pants, and also with tights and skirts / dresses.</p> <p>I do love my blue SEs and will very happy just wearing them out until booties take over.</p> <p>I really appreciate the wisdom of the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336991 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:18:47 +0000 Diana 1336991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You already have a pair, right?&nbsp; I am with Angie here - I don't think you need another pair unless you are like wearing your existing pair every single day.&nbsp; I'm honestly not sure that this is a trend that has staying power.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336967 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:47:15 +0000 kkards 1336967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if you think this is a style that you'd want to wear next spring/summer, i'd say order them. even if you only get a couple more weeks this summer, you'd have a&nbsp; pair of almost new sneaks for next year. but if you're feeling unsure about the longevity, pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336966 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:45:20 +0000 Suja 1336966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear them with black no-show socks and skinnies that go all the way way down.&nbsp; Nike makes a great plush no-show sock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336959 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:19:07 +0000 unfrumped 1336959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not voting, but chiming in to say that all of the sock, sock-less and temperature issues have helped me focus on what wardrobe trends (or even durable "movements") are for what seasons and why, for me--so as not to buy for my imaginary lifestyle or climate or temp control.</p> <p>For example, ankle pants--I have had some adventures with same and glad I did/am, but can clearly see these for me as "warm weather" pants, even if that goes into part of spring and fall. <br />Sure, I can see the fun in tweed ankle pants 'cause I love wool and tweed, but if it's that chilly I will regret not having my ankles covered. I already wear nude knee-highs (at work) and that would not be enough for chilly days.<br />OTOH, I can see that a pair of ankle pants I have in a fall-ish color can swing summer or fall based on the other colors in the outfit, and textures, so I can wear them on warm fall days, but not invest in true F/W weight.</p> <p>I also face a new dilemma with skinnier pants because they need something like a loafer for the hem length, OR may need something like a slouchy mid-calf boot, something I've not used before, to tuck into (they're not true skinnies for fitting into fitted boots), OR I need to see them also as <u>only</u> warmer-weather items and clearly identify other pants, (slightly wider hems, mini-bootcut, or true trousers) that work with booties, as winter wear.</p> <p>It does seem to get a little complicated, but lining things up this way helps me see what are appropriate for S/S vs. F/W purchases and why, which helps see what % of wardrobe should be allotted to said items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336906 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:56:38 +0000 jackiec 1336906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK Angie is technically correct but I am SO close to snapping up those shoes myself! I've been trying to decide between those ones and the perforated suede ones. But maybe we should listen to Angie's voice of reason.... Personally I'd have a hard time wearing them with socks. I'm not a big fan of the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336903 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:54:39 +0000 kellygirl 1336903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Cruz but&nbsp;I don't think I'll be able to wear the Cruz during cold weather without socks and the no-shows I bought sometimes slip even with that little glue dot on the heel. Unless you think these will work for your summer wardrobe, I'd hold off (and get a pair of lace ups?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336902 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:54:20 +0000 Louise 1336902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd buy them and wear no show socks with them x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336856 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:18:44 +0000 viva 1336856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, if it's any consolation, I am 50% Angie and 50% Lisa myself, right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336853 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:17:18 +0000 Anonymous 1336853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, that's funny. &nbsp;Overruled! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336851 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:16:43 +0000 Anonymous 1336851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't buy them, I will &nbsp;Can't you still get away with going sock less for at least another 6 weeks? &nbsp;At that price, &nbsp;new glossy black pair would be great way to ease into fall right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336850 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:15:36 +0000 Angie 1336850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote no. You will prefer to wear&nbsp;booties and socks in no time - is my guess.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-and-the-sock-problem#post-1336849 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:12:08 +0000 viva 1336849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, it's cold this morning. Really chilly, and no sun. It reminds me that fall is right around the corner, and while that makes me very very happy, it also raises a big footwear dilemma. </p> <p>Does it make sense to buy another pair of slip-on sneakers to wear sock-less, given the time of year?&nbsp; I do think short sock can look cute with these sneakers, but with a dress or shorts, so there is a nice length of skin to break things up -- not with pants. (See pictures.)</p> <p>The SEs below are $39 at Urban Outfitters. Should I, or shouldn't I?</p>
