Reactions on a norwegian fashion-forum

[Tallboots]

Hi and merry christmas to all!

I thought I'd share some reactions that I've experienced at a norwegian fasion-forum concerning wearing a "booted outfit". It all started with asking the female section for advice on what boots to buy, (I clearly stated that I'm male, and that I was looking for somethig out of the ordinary). The options were:

and

To be continued...

The reactions varied from those who absolutely did not agree with such heels/boots on a male, (even not the forst pair), to those who loved the second and third pair and encouradged buying those.
One girl asked me to take photoes of the look, so i did so and posted them in the same tread, (still the female section)

Here's one of the pics:

Reactions were, in my opinion, positive from a lot of females. Bur I did a posting in the male section with this picture, (among others):

and the reactions were quite gastly, to put it mildly.

I know the outfit isn't well balanced, and that I could probably done a lot more to make it more matching, but at the same time I think It's kinda funny that none of the males find it wearable but some females do... Just wanted to share with you guys. :-)

Btw, heres a link to the thread: http://www.mote.no/showthread.php?t=6597

Well, the photos are a little dark; but personally I like the bottom outfit best. It looks rather rugged - like a hunting or a riding outfit. So what were the objections?

The objections are everything from:
"Horrible composed outfit" till "You are wearing a whores kinda boots, (and you're a guy)". In other words, imagine the worst comment you could recieve, and it's all there... :)

I don't know about every body else but my GF and I have agreed that it's a cool look and we both like it. I really like toe boots. She say's the leather jacket sets it off. NICE LOOK!

Sorry, we are talking about the second look. Don't care for the first to much but all the boots are really cool and I would wear them anywhere.

I like both looks.
Are you wearing a skirt in the first one?
You pull it very nicley indeed, well done.

Since those comments came from men who are mentally repressed and long brainwashed into the narrow, prehistoric mindset that men don't wear women's shoes, reactions such as the one above are the norm. My advice regarding those objections----IGNORE THEM! Nothing good will come from getting worked up over comments from cavemen who are too wrapped up in their foolish 20th century machismo to appreciate the joys of 21st century fashion freedom. Don't let knuckle-dragging neanderthals like them discourage you from wearing what you want!

P.S.: I thought both pics look good! Thumbs up!

realy dont care about what they saying, probably they all are narrow-minded;)
