Turn up's or not ?

Need some advice please. Toying with getting some two tone shoes. The question is   are  they best worn with trousers that have turn up's and how about if the trousers have no turn up's. Any advice would be gratefully received.

By turn-ups I assume you mean on the outside? Personally I wouldn't but just hemm them normally. Depending how narrow they are at the bottom I'd go for a flat bottom with maybe a one inch split on the seam, forget drops or steps with two tone shoes.

I'm not big on turning up much besides denim. That's just me. Unless your going for a dance craze album cover type look. Which I'd never wear yet still think is pretty cool.

No turn ups. Except on Levi´s.

Thanks guys maybe i should have mentioned toying with a 40/50s suit db tousers would have turn-ups very retro. So would this change your view point ?

What kind of "two-tone" shoes are you looking to buy?

The "co-respondent" brogues are nice, but I'd suggest that you avoid turn-ups and try a "kick" flare to your trousers if this is the style that you are thinking of.

Wow! They're lovely.

Turn ups or a cuff on a pair of trews would look nice with those shoes I reckon. A lot of people wouldn't consider that a mod look but I am of the opinion that if it looks good and works then do it, let's not be dogmatised!.

Either that or I'm with Andy Ingram with the kick flare. Check out what Paul Weller's doing with his trews at the moment.

I got a pair of these Baracuta ones from ebay. Brand New for £25.00! Not as nice as the Loakes though.
