Friday Challenge, August 28th: Boots 'n Suits

[Synthese]

YOUR CONTENDERS:

Clicked on this thread because I saw my favorite boots in the thumbnail. I don't know if I can compete but this one is for the "Sythese Inspirations bucket". My favorite combo at the moment is this: (Could even go full Margiela if I include said favorite boots)

Well, I'm not disputing you there.

My humble contribution to the challenge:

Props to @EFV for effectively capturing the boots and suit in a single image. I let crappy pics prevent me from entering last week's challenge so this week I'm going with what I have:

Suck it all you slim-lapel haters, its a Mod Mod world!

Boots: Carmina U-wing in burgundy "museum" calf on Rain last (Gentlemen's Footwear GMTO)

Some interesting entries, gents. My footwear is an unusual choice for me - in August. I've been dodging the rain all week so got out these Jeffery-West 'Kriss' black calf ankle boots on Thursday:

YOU HAVE UNTIL TUESDAY @ MIDNIGHT TO MAKE YOUR CHOICES!









Title says it all. Wear some boots with your suit, and do it better than anyone else. Because I am lucky enough to be running things, you get bonus points for streetwear touches like not wearing a tie (double bonus points for 3-piece with no tie) or even wearing a tee with your suit. And jumpsuits definitely count. Dunno how bonus points work, but you still get them.

Inspiration photos will be added as soon as I can find some!

I like it, but since I am away at my folks' place before heading to a conference with only my two fresco traveling suits and one pair of dress shoes, I don't think I can take part this week... unless my dad has some of his 60s Chelseas still around somewhere...

I hoping to see some Chelseas. I'm pretty sure @Cleav has at least one pair. So does @Claghorn if I recall correctly. Just to mention two of our better-dressed members.

This is promising.

Cheers,

I have been thinking that I need some Chelseas recently. Actually for quite a whille. I think it was @DocHolliday used to argue that they were the most versatile boot you could own, and also the optimal choice in many situations. I reckon he may have been right. If I'd had a pair they would have been my choice for this trip.

I hope Cowboy/Western Boots work. I live in Kansas. When we say boots, we mean western.

It's about 4-6 weeks too early for this challenge, IMO. My feet will spontaneously combust in a pair of boots right now, even in the (relatively) more moderate temperatures we've had this week.

You might even get extra points for them.

after wearing boots all day in the desert heat I don't really understand the grumbling about wearing them with a suit, in fact, I feel like if it's super hot, a necktie is going to bother me considerably more than covered ankles would... maybe that's just me though(?)

 

[EFV]

Hmmm, will see what I come up with.
