Hello I just bought these fantastic bell bottom high waisted jeans and I have no clue what shoes to wear with them. I want to purchase a nice pair of ankle zip up black boots. What do you all think?

Platforms in grey would look nice nothing to shinny either

Your dress has burgundy/grey/black on it. Just pick one of these colours and you're good to go
Black sheer tights would be a sexy option imo

^ I agree with Navygreen.

so I just got these they are not really my typical style and I have no clue what to wear them with. Help please I was thinking to do skinnies but I dont know if that would not be fun enough for the shoes

I've had the strangest idea - get a full skirt, a monochromatic one [unless you have -too- wide hips]. You know, 50s style.. Or a pencil skirt.
Those shoes are pretty "special" so the rest of your outfits always have to be downplayed anyway.

I don't know of exact shoes. So all I do is post a general idea of what I'd wear with them. Here goes.

Wow! I didn't know some still care about jeans that aren't skinny. You've made a great purchase getting these high-waisted bell bottom jeans. They look lovely. As far as what I'd wear with those... I can think of a few options. Those jeans could possibly be dressed up or down. First off, I think those jeans call for a chic pair of brown boots. They can either be a chocolate brown color or maybe something a bit brighter (but not too much). I've recently grown fond of dark blue jeans with red shoes. You could possibly get away with wearing some high-heel red pumps with those. Maybe even with a pointy-toes (unless you don't like them). You could also go really casual with red peep-toe espadriles with a straw base. The last kind of shoes I'm thinking of would be a pair of platform oxford shoes. A girly and cute pair of oxfords would be this oxford pump by T.U.K.: < http://www.endless.com/T-U-K-Womens...&node=241745011&keywords=platform oxford shoe >. They are oxford pumps only available in black and white. Or you could opt for some aggressive oxford sneakers or oxford shoes.

If I didn't wise up on tights and leggings, I'd tell you to ditch the footless tights. High-heel peep-toe pumps or strappy sandals would work great with that dress. That's especially if you can find a nice pair of black or dark violet colors. Alternatively, a pair of metallic high-heel pumps or metallic high-heel sandals (preferably silver) would work well as well. Now with tights, I'd probably wear some off-white or white tights. What would be tough is maybe finding a color that's a middle ground to the colors of the dress. If you can sport some gray tights, go for it! Either white or gray would be my tights of choice. Depending on style or how cold it is, you may need a pair of chic knee-high boots. To be consistent with the colors, I wouldn't go with any color other than black. That's how I'd do this if I were in your situation.

^ I would hardly ever recommend someone to wear white tights. They make legs look... well... fat! So leggings or like Navygreen said, black sheer tights would definitely be something I would wear with that dress myself. But I agree about silver sandals, they would look nice, imo.

 

[Navygreen]

White tights? Sure, if you're 10 years-old lol

 

[John_M.]

Well something different. Tights and leggings have gotten old. Everyone (generalization) has black leggings. Maybe... okay. Maybe magenta or purple tights if you're opposed to any white leggings. But again... I'm tired of leggings and skinny jeans. Wake me when this is all over.

 

[Phylicia04]

^ lol, thanks everyone!! i think im gonna stick to gray, they seem to look nice with the dress!!

 

[John_M.]

This is just a quick note I wanted to get across on the previous recommendations. Someone said that white leggings are fine... if you're ten. Just to say... I've seen femmes at least 18 sport white leggings. One pair of white leggings had this nice tattoo design on them. So I've seen white leggings before sported on femmes much older than ten.

But yeah, it's your call on the leggings. Want to wear gray leggings with your outfit? Fine. Dress to your heart's content!

Absolute Fall/Autumn-type shoes in Post #427 by from: sophia. My inclination is usually to go with some kind of dark, earthen colors. So something like intensely bright colors (like hot pink, for example) would be a no-no and would be inconsistent with the shoes. Perhaps I can think of a few looks to go with those pumps.

If you're thinking of jeans, then that's pretty fine for those. There's two ways I'd wear those. (1) The first is to go with darker blue denim washes. Maybe look for a good five-pocket pair of jeans, flap-pockets, no back pockets, or those denim jean trousers that I've been so fond of. Skinny jeans will probably be okay, if you don't want to show off those pumps in a lovely way. A comfortable sweater or T-shirt would be great. I'd probably wear a brown top or some kind of forest green. More dark, unsaturated colors would work here. (2) You may even try white-colored jeans. If not that, then maybe beige or something. You'll still need a nice top of your choice. A dark magenta top or brown top would suit you well. I COULD think of white jeans or beige or tan jeans to wear with those. Jeans would be appropriate since I don't think you can pull off any really cute formal-type looks. I'm usually thinking of good jeans ranging from slim fit to wide-leg.

Now let me think of skirts and dresses. I noticed the black tights in the picture. I wouldn't wear black tights with those shoes. Save the darker colors for a top. You could take a chance finding a nice dress to wear of either a short dress or a knee-length dress. A maxi dress is also a lovely option. If it gets too cold, a cute jacket or bolero will keep you warm. Unless you dislike Bohemian style, a dark brown full skirt would be a lovely skirt option.

All in all, I'd keep an even balance of dark colors as well as very earthen colors (like dark brown) with those pumps. They just scream Fall/Autumn. I was very uncertain as to what I'd go with since they are more Fall-appropriate pumps than say, Spring or Summer. Dress up with confidence!
