Skinny Jeans Tucked Into Gladiator Sandals : Yay or Nay?

YAY or NAY?
Lately, I start noticing people especially “young hipster kids” (read: fashion victims ;d ) around New York wearing skinny jeans/leggings tucked into their gladiator sandals. And last weekend when I saw a polling thread on People magazine showing several Hollywood celebs spotting this trend, I thought it would be fun to start a similar poll here on FD.
I would say it’s a cute styling option, just like the way of wearing a pair of ankle or knee-high boots over jeans during winter. But for summer, you’re wearing it with sandals instead. I personally think this particular styling would suit best to those who are blessed with long skinny legs, but it’s all about personal preference.
Gladiator sandals somehow have been around for quite a while, and I guess, they’re still going strong this year, particularly in the spring and summer. Since the strappy and tall versions could be found almost everywhere, I’ve been eyeing the ones that wrapped around the ankle with less straps, kind of similar to the Jeffrey Campbell sandals, as seen on the picture below. But I’m not sure I would wear them over my jeans, they would look horrendous on my short legs! Unless if they’re in heels maybe I would take my chance =)

So would you wear it ? Yay or Nay?

nay. first, gladiator sandals is not boots no matter how high the straps goes. tucking jeans into boots during winter has a purpose: to keep the legs warm. second, it looks uncomfortable.

def. a nay, at least to me.
i wouldn’t wear it like that ever although i have legs as high as my neck LOL
i prefer using tall gladiator boots with flowy light dress or skirt.
if it’s a short 1 strap gladiator, i’ll wear it with everything. i have a 1 strap i used for almost a year, wear it with jeans, with skirts, with dresses, anything :p

nayy.. with a capital N.
i personally think gladiator sandals aren’t flattering. and above the ankles straps are only for those blessed with celery stick legs, even so they don’t look thaaat good. so, strictly one strap gladiator heels for me.. and, untucked.
i think this tucking thingy might be the start point for genie pants or jodhpur pants trend.. been seeing them around also..

nay, kok keliatan aneh, kalo jeansnya skinny dan ngepress banget mungkin keliatan lebih acceptable *dikit*, tapi kalo sedikit loose di bawah kok maksa ya

lygia
for me it’s a NAY!!!
anyway I think it’s about personal taste though :)I personaly think that gladiators sandals are soulmates with linen, tule or silk skirts, long or short. I dressed so during summer. Somehow I can’t see it combined with Jeans! yay nay!!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
icha
for me it’s nay.
but i would say yay if maybe the jeans is so skinny and the gladiator sandals only have one straps, that is acceptable.

Masalah yay or nay sih menurut gw tergantung body orang yg makenya, kalo badannya rada ndut dan kakinya pendek ya pasti gak cucok la hay….
Terus emangnya comfort apa dipakenya buat jalan ?

NO NO NO!
I’m only 160, have David Beckham’s calves (not yet Maradona, like Loucee’s hehehe), and my body shape is pear.
Wearing gladiator sandals would make me look like ‘bebongkos’ (arem-arem, red.). Me wearing skinny jeans tucked into gladiator sandals equals fashion suicide ^_^
