Wear or Die: Footwear edition
It’s been a while since we ventured into the wonderful (and sometimes downright frightening) side of footwear for Wear or Die, and we thought it was about time we rectified that, so today we’re pitting Underground England’s pink platforms against Victoria’s Secret’s Moccasin boots. Yes, those are feathers. No, you cannot hide them under the legs of your trousers. Hee!
Sadly, the boots are no longer available at the Victoria’s Secret website, but don’t go breakin’ your hearts over it, because you can try on a virtual pair right here at The Fashion Police by telling which of these pieces of footwear you’d choose to wear if you had to wear one of ‘em – or die!
The Rules
Oh Christ. The mocs. Black leggings, black skirt, and a big oversized sweater in a chunky knit, and sort of camel in color. Add in a shame-hiding pair of big sunglasses and a large black leather hobo (maybe with some sort of bone or tribal accent), and maybe I wouldn’t be noticed enough for people to remark on the fug on my feet!
The boots. And I’d totally wear them over my jeans with a big sweater on a cold day and pretend I was making some kind of ’statement’.
The platforms… that was a tough one ’cause I reeeally hate pink. However, I don’t want to walk around the town looking like I’ve stepped in roadkill. Platforms all the way!
I’d wear the pink Underground England’s with black skinny jeans and maybe a leopard print belt (and of course the SAME type of leopard print..) and some band t-shirt in black. Oh and by the way, they aren’t “platforms” but they’re called “creepers” and since they’re joint with psychobilly, they’re supposed to be horrorific:D
Can I die and die?
The creepers. Those boots are HORRIFIC!
I’d have to borrow some of my friends goth clothes, but I could definately get away with them.
all that is holy does not allow me to wear the platform zebra pink hurts my head ugly. so, i’d rock to boots in brown, with jeans, and a simple white blouse and turquoise jewelry and pay tribute to the ojibwe. or the navajo. or some people who actually know how to rock feathers.
The boots. The platform shoes are too ugly to be worn. I’d rather look like a pathetic fashion victim than unfashinable with the platforms. So the boots with Jeans and a simple shirt it is. Although, the platforms may work with some kind of goth schoolgirl look, but I would not look ironic enough for that to pull it off.
Excuse me but.. since when is that zebra print??
the shoes. trainers. whatever. at least they are a nice colour. so – I like pink, OK
ew.. ok ok, I´d go for the creepers, with my black skinnies, black t-shirt, a gothic make up and voila! frankenstein bride!
um, honestly i kinda really like the creepers…
but the boots… ew. no one wants to look like they stepped in a dead bird…
The boots.
i hate plateforms, they are so ugly.
i would actully wear the boots though, i think that they kinda look native….very funky
id go for the brown pair though, i hate pink
Definitely the boots! i actually think they’d be lovely if it weren’t for the metallics?
I really don’t like those platform sneakers though, they’d make your feet look so clunky and square! Plus i’m a sucker for feathers, he he!
