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.
klo kakinya panjang mungkin bisa jadi yay..
tapi kalo kaya’ vanessa hudgens kok jadinya soo nayyy… semakin accentuate her bulky thighs…:(
kl gue Nay dech, secara sadar diri punya betis gede dan gak mau people liat aneh ke gue krn jadi fashion victim….Biar kata lagi ngetop gitu, gue gak tertarik nyoba
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 kalo gue yang pake.. hahahah.. ;p
tp si nicole richie pake lucu2 aja tuh..
nay… untuk model yg terlalu heboh…
klo untuk sebatas mata kaki… bolehlah…
ngeliat vanessa hudgens so naaaaaay, males bgt liatnya, kayaknya maksa bgt
definitely NAY!!
namanya aja gladiator sandals.. mana ada gladiator pake skinny jeans/legging?? hahaha
so so so Nay..
kelihatan bgt dipaksanya..
setubuh sama cheyqua, mana ada gladiator pake skinny jeans! hhe..
nay, kok keliatan aneh, kalo jeansnya skinny dan ngepress banget mungkin keliatan lebih acceptable *dikit*, tapi kalo sedikit loose di bawah kok maksa ya
for me it’s a NAY!!!
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!!!!
anyway I think it’s about personal taste though
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 ?
nay, bt gw pake pribadi sih..
galdiator kan sandal cuco nya dipake sama orang yg punya betis kecil & lbh bagus lg yg kakinya panjang.. bt yg punya kaki spt itu sih kayanya yay
buat gw pribadi sih Nay. Abisan di Jkt yang pake gladiator biasanya anak2 ABG siy hihihi
ooow now I see where those come from. I thought the girl from my office didn’t have a full-length mirror
I’d say nay. Kayak gak sengaja dan sloppy.
nay..
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 ^_^
Kalo ada haknya bolehlah
Tapi kalo teplek…nay
nay..
disastrous
jalannya jg susah kyknya.
nay…
too much thing going on kyknya…
nay…*sadar diri
Nay,…..nay..secara kaki gw pendek gitu..
klo tinggi mungkin cakep kali ya..tapi klo bisa dengan gladiator yang high heels..
so nay..nay to me…..
N.A.Y…
jadinya aneh gitu… kyk ada ulet2 gitu di pergelangan kaki…
ah it’s so nay
it’s so weirdd,,
tapi yang dipake mischa barton mendingan dikit tuh kayaknya
yes….definitely a yes…
if….you have a killer legs and wear a mini shorts with it…haha…
but gladiator+skinny jeans…
a big no no
wawwwww……
of course nay with jeans or legging…
mini skirt yay lah yaaaa…masih keren…
knapa juga tu sepatu atasnya ga dimasukin di dalem..kayak pke dress pke belt ini pergelangan kaki pke belt hehehe
totally a BIG NO NO
gladiator only fits for mini skirts and shorts, thank you!
definitely YES!
it looks so hot 
Ooooohhhh so thats why that lass in the town had done that… Hmm.. well i’m kinda torn. to me i think it only works with minimal straps, a la Sienna. She looks awesome and so do the rest actually, they pull it off suprisingly. I have never tucked them in to skinny jeans (although i have very(!) long legs, but i do wear them with skinny jeans though, just squeeeeeeezing them over, and they look hot. I don’t understand how some people hate them with jeans, i have umpteen comments about my look, and i personally think it is great! So, i think it might be a yay on the right people, but.. *ergh* a nayyyyyyyyyyyy on the bad people, (i.e short, chunky calfs, as it would just attract attention to them!)
maybe you should understand that not every people have the same opinion as yours. that’s life, baby.
YAY! i like it its different
something daring
mmmmmmmm…..bukan gw banget dehh…
kayanya nggaa…
first, nabarak banget. gladiatornya jadi ga keliatan.kecuali strapnya atu.. (bener icha **)
second, terlalu kesepian…hehehe
–kalo pake mini skirt mah ok..
Oh YES OH YES YES YES, its H OW TEE TEE HOT!
nay banget deh………….maksa gitu makenya
NAY ick disgusting
yay, i think theyre amazing, and even though theyre quite chunky and masculine, they go with just about anything, depending on colour! YAY
nay nay nay.. ngga cocok.. nice try though..
Yes, its about being different… if it becomes popular i bet you’d say yes.. trends come and go and we look back and ask ourselves “i wore that?” .. but hey it was hot at the moment.. its not 4 every1 but if it looks good on u then do it! it makes my calves look curvier.. pretty toes, gladiator heels, and sexy pair of skinnies.. somethin tastfully interesting!
Nay uhmm.. diliadnya aja udah ga asik.. Ga match gituh kek na..
NAY NAY NAY!!
Definitely the worst trend going around. I was appalled to see one of my best friends trying to pull this off. It doesn’t look good on ANYONE, even people with nice, long legs.
Really, tucking your jeans into sandals? That’s like trying to tuck jeans into flip-flops.
i think it is totally cute and i frequently sport the style – why not? i usually find that the haters are incapable of pulling off any of their own personal style. step outside the box, people.
and really, the analogy of “tucking your jeans into your sandals is like tucking jeans into flip-flops” … sub-par.
Uuummm… kayaknya NAY yaa..
Gladiator sandal will look good in dress, hot pants or legging. Jadinya ga bakal kliatan jeans yg berlipet2 kluar sandalnya gitu..
kecualiiiii kalo kakinya jenjang dan baguuuuss banget, baru mgkn YAY
actually, I love gladiator sandals..but not with long straps , and tuck my jeans into it, is a never in my fashion rules.
the point it, know your body and dress properly but still come as you are
Why not?? Gladiators and skinnies go quite well together, and if you like it, definitely go for it! Gladiators and leggings are even better! YAY!
Wow! I’ve been wonder’n da same thang! I hav been struggle’n in front of da mirror 4 dayz and end up choosing 2 leev my skinny jeans (I have long legs!) over my gladiator sandals. I like show’n of da zipper/straps!
