I can't say I've ever been brave enough to go past shoes or purses when it came to patent leather!

Can't wait to see more pics, that coat is serious!

I love it. Bought these shoes from Kurt Geiger, the picture does them no right, they are gorgeous. And my shoes don't have that kind of a buckle on the lower strap.

I this! That YSL coat is amazing, but I don't think I would dare wearing patent leather clothes. In accesories, I'm planning to buy anything this fall, shoes, boots and bags. The Marni bags in patent leather are really lovely, but I'm looking for something far cheaper.

My friend has a patent leather coat and it looks amazing on her. I just hate the remarks of studens who say "is she wearing a trash bag!?"

I want these Chloe boots (sort of) really badly, I'm trying hard to justify the purchase.

Can a guy wear Patent leather? I want the YSL tuxedo shoe with the bow on the side. They are made out of patent leather and I'm planning on going next week to try them on. Hopefully I can pull them off.

The only thing posted that I like so far has to be the YSL coat. Besides footwear, this trend won't be so easy to pull off...

Just don't go overboard and keep the rest very simple. A suit would work.

I'm pretty sure they have been, during pretty much all of the 20th century, in exactly the context you mention

In 99% of context (ie when not wearing a tuxedo) patent later shoes with bows look like ballet flats. The only way to look more girly would be to wear a skirt and fake breasts. Don't let that stop you if you enjoy them/can pull them off but keep in mind they're definitely not "manly"
