You will look great in a bias cut skirt, I think it is the issue that some so called bias cut skirts are not really cut on the bias to conserve fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2104152 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 07:40:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 2104152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Kellygirl both too ugly for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2104150 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 07:31:55 +0000 rachylou 2104150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black and white. I feel the all black need to be worn with a super cute dress to be properly ugly. If you wear them jeans or shorts, I think they’ll be blah, not proper fashion ugly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2104030 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 19:00:37 +0000 kellygirl 2104030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, hope you share your finds, Smittie.

My instincts were right. Thank you for the validation.&nbsp;<br />@Angie: I've tried but something about the way the bias moulds to your body prohibits me from taking it home. I think non-bias cuts are more forgiving perhaps? Never say never though!&nbsp;<br />@Sharan: Have you sewed a bias skirt?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2104025 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 18:53:08 +0000 Carla 2104025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I concur with finding the B&amp;W more fashion, and the black everyday gear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2104024 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 18:48:51 +0000 Jules 2104024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the B&amp;W, they look graphic and intentional to me.

Thanks for the affirmation. I thought they looked a little bit too much like my plain brown Tevas from decades ago. But then I thought, maybe they're not as obnoxious looking... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103975 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 16:13:24 +0000 kellygirl 2103975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joy, Zaeobi, Lynn, Robin and Janet.&nbsp;<br />I decided to order the black/white combo to try out. I've had good luck with the Earth brand in the past so we will see if they pass the comfort and style test. I've got some neutral knit summer dresses that I want to funk up--will report back.&nbsp;<br />@Joy: Yes, the white sole could be problematic although I've had good luck keeping the sole on my Nike Roshe pretty clean with a white eraser.&nbsp;<br />@Robin: Lol. I'm not sure I can pull of dad sneakers either. I look at them but I wore those the first time around...not sure I want to revisit those.<br />@Janet: I like those Arche! Those look comfortable and stylish--I like the term "ugly lite" but those don't look ugly to me at all. They look like normal sandals.&nbsp; You have a gorgeous figure and shapely legs--I wouldn't fret at all. I do feel like black is so high contrast that getting the right look can be tricky. That's kind of why I am drawn towards the one with white to add some "lightness." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103971 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 16:00:47 +0000 slim cat 2103971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and white sandal is more trendy/current, black sandal in #2 is just sporty looking ( almost vacation/outdoors only to my eye ). Then again - it's all how you style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103952 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 14:42:01 +0000 Janet 2103952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to give styles like this a second chance too, though I fear I'm feeling a bit more like Robin. I tend to do "ugly lite" like these Arche sandals, which I wear a lot in summer, and could stand to have another pair in a little more sporty rendition. So I'll be watching if you try those, although I sometimes worry that getting TOO tricky with ugly sandals may not work with my less-than-stellar legs. But I like keeping my summer footwear current since I can no longer rely on jackets and scarves to funk up my look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103947 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 14:29:58 +0000 RobinF 2103947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit my eye hasn't adjusted to these "ugly" styles yet, including the dad sneakers. I'd love to see them on you because I think you could change my mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103936 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 13:41:30 +0000 lynn 2103936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and white! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103883 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 06:30:24 +0000 Zaeobi 2103883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you're testing the trend out, then it would make more sense to try the all black sandals first. The white &amp; black ones veer into much more trendy territory, if you ask me, &amp; therefore may be harder to style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103878 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 06:19:19 +0000 Anonymous 2103878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I like white soles on summer footwear for the lightening up, they need more attention and cleaning than you may want to do. The black also looks like it would be more comfortable because it is not as high.<br /> In either case, go for comfort. Either could turn out to be an ugly/cute stylish workhorse. ( to me they are a bit bearish rather than ugly) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103874 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 05:08:51 +0000 kellygirl 2103874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the quick feedback, Christel and Lisa. I go back and forth on this kind of stuff because I feel like I fall in that (age) category where this style can easily look like it’s not intentionally trendy. (It’s like the dad sneakers.) I’m going to give them a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103867 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 04:51:49 +0000 Anonymous 2103867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Picture them with a really great pedicure - and vibrant accessories . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103866 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 04:51:11 +0000 Anonymous 2103866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the black / white and I guess I’m just weird enough that I don’t find them ugly at all ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103864 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 04:47:38 +0000 ChristelJ 2103864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see them both on you, and though the black and white ones do look "uglier" than the others, and therefore maybe more current, I am drawn most to the black ones. That might be because I have a very similar pair in brown and love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt-black-sport-sandal#post-2103863 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 04:39:13 +0000 kellygirl 2103863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would appreciate your thoughts on these two sporty sandals for casual wear. Are they “ugly” enough to look current? I’m testing the waters with this look and don’t want to make a big investment. I was initially attracted to the white/black but the plain black is growing on me too. Thanks in advance! </p>
