How do we feel about open-toe shoes for fall/winter.

Kincali · Dooney & Bourke

For winter, I don't mind open toe with dress pants to go out in but not everyday business suit. Also, I like to rock open toe shoes with patterned tights and socks when it is cold.

I do it all the time...but I'm in SoCal. When I lived in colder climates, I would wear them up until it was really cold (ie before I would have to bundle up with a heavy jacket, scarves, etc.).

NCshopper · Hermes

I like the look with pants, but I'd wear open toed shoes with a more casual look than a full on suit. I think pants, a jacket and open toed shoes looks a little strange, but the way the model is wearing it without the jacket looks fine.

I also think that it's a weather-appropriate thing--it's always a little weird to see someone in open toed shoes when it's freezing out.

If the weather is cold, then open-toe shoes with opaque tights is a cool edgy look. I'm less of a fan with them with suits.

boobaby · Kate Spade

I couldn't do it. I get too cold too easily. I don't mind it on other people, though.

relrel · Marc Jacobs

I probably wouldn't do it when it's below freezing and I have to walk outside but otherwise, I love the look of open toed shoes with cool tights. Generally, I wear my sneakers to walk to work and then change when I get there so I'll probably be wearing my open toed shoes pretty far into the season.

I like them with tights as well. It is generally not very cold here so I can get away with wearing open-toe most of the time.

halah · Kenneth Cole

I have not tried the tights with open-toe look yet but I do think it can look cool. I just received a pair of mustard suede jcrew peep-toes that had been back-ordered forever (I had forgotten I bought them)! I may be able to get some milage out of them this winter with tights!

I'm w/relrel, if it's COLD, and COLD to me is anything BELOW 50 degrees (I live in Texas, so sue me! LOL), then nah, I won't wear peep toes. But other than that, I'll rock them year round, I love peep toes. :) I'd LOVE to try some of my PTs w/some tights. Hmmm. :)

I don't know about anyone else, but I am starting to get annoyed w/ peep toes. LIke, the more I look at them, the more odd I find them. I haven't bought any in a long time. I don't know what changed, but they just bug me now.

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

Peep toed shoes in the evening, with pants so long as there is no snow is okay in my book. However, outside of those parameters and I am not a fan. I love peep toed shoes!

I find a lot of them odd. I like peep toes, but lately the peeps seem to be so much bigger and I think that's weird. I like it when they're smaller than what is apparently trendy right now.

Suasoria · Chanel

I'm opposed to the peep toes-with-hoisery look. I think my tastes are too traditional to find that appealing. And I agree that there's some extreme looks in peepage these days, from large to teensy slits.

The real obstacle IMO is keeping your feet pedicured in the winter. I'm lucky if I shave my legs more than once a week this time of year.

subwolley · Kate Spade

Depends on where you live. If it's below 70, I wouldn't wear them.

jrhampt · Kenneth Cole

I think peep toes with tights are fine in the winter. Without tights, not so much.
