  1. 1. Can you wear clashing wellies for practical purposes in public?

    • Gawd, no! Choose other shoes or change the outfit!

    • Generally not done but this is America. Go your own way.

    • Wear shoes for practical purposes; wear the wellies as is.

Going out for coffee with a friend this evening and it's raining off and on, with thunderstorms forecasted. I considered wearing my cute new wellies. They are black and white floral. However, they would not match my current outfit, which is a blue and white tie-dye skirt and royal blue tee. Is it gauche to wear rain boots in a definite, yet clashing, print? Or is it merely a practicality? I'm not changing clothes just to have coffee with my friend, lol.

I'm in Alaska. During spring break-up ( thaw)  priority is keeping your feet dry.  Wear whatever works.  Who says wellies need to match?

Well, I sometimes wear MuckMasters with yoga pants to the feed store, so my bar is obviously going to be set towards the practical and that's how I voted. (I have also been known to wear them with pajamas, shorts, and ahem, the occasional swimsuit    :ph34r:  if an emergency pasture situation calls......so maybe my opinion shouldn't count. My neighbors all do the same though, so at least we're a tribe. A small tribe, but I take what I can get. You can wear mismatched Wellies with us if you're even in TX. )

LOL, I live in a heavily livestock/horse area with 4H kids and leaders everywhere so wellies do not get a second pass unless they are donned for weddngs and.funerals, and.mind you, they are kind of okay for SOME weddings and funerals. :D

Well, for true confessions, I changed my skirt to a white skirt with a black belt, though I kept the same tee shirt on. It was pouring when I had to leave and...I don't know, I guess my OCD kicked in and I just couldn't wear the clash. So I conformed.

No, I would never wear my Wellies (we call them irrigating boots) out in public because they're covered with manure! However, yours are probably cleaner.  :lol:

We call them barn boots. They look and smell exactly like you'd expect. They don't go with any cute outfits whatsoever.

Mine are purple, and one time, I was at a country band's concert at a llama farm and the singer started singing about "the girl rocking the purple boots." It made my day!
