Please Vote! Dolce Vita Boots
Permalink Closed


I have really really been lusting over the Dolce Vita slouch boots, and now that I can get them for a great price @ Standard Style, I am having trouble choosing which color.  I want to wear them w/both skirts and over jeans.  I'm thinking I'd get more use out of the black, but I know sometimes black leather can look not very nice.  The gray are gorgeous, but I don't know if I can justify the color.


Help me - what would you choose? 


Here's pics for reference:

GRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just as versatile as black IMO, but the gray kicks them up to 'Piece' status.  The shape is pretty classic, and because of that I don't think they also need to be black to keep them useable for many years to come.

Given I just bought them earlier today, I vote grey! :)

I think they are going to be pretty versatile too, since you can wear them slouchy or not.  I also saw some pics of a girl who bought them and they look awesome both ways.

I was so happy to find them at standard style too!  They come out to $177 which is pretty good since shopbop probably won't have them on sale for a few more months.

Let us know what you decide!

gray goes with everything that black does...it's actually easier to wear because it's less in-your-face dark.


if i could shove my calves into them i'd line up for them too! so gorgeous!

I voted gray since you can find black boots anywhere.  Gray is more special.

holy crap, equivocation over... $177 is a mega-steal! where did you find the code? ST database?


ETA: I love that we're all going to have the same boots... reminds me of when we bought out all the stock at Magnolia Shoes within the space of a day and a half last winter...

The code was in the August Lucky Mag.  It's for 30% off - use code "luckymag"


You girls are going to think I'm totally nuts, but I got the black!  I have no knee high black boots and I have been looking to get a new pair since last fall.  I love the gray, but I really truly needed black - for me that's a staple.  It was a really hard decision!

Sorry, I am late to this post, looks like you already decided.  While I agree the grey really makes them stand out as a "piece," I would have gone with the black too.  I love black boots.

i jumped on the bandwagon and ordered these too- couldn't resist w.that code! shopchicago, i also got the black. the grey is awesome but i feel like it could look weird/unflattering against my skin tone, and i don't think we can go wrong w.a hot pair of black boots!

HOT boots-- I love them!!! Did the code already expire? If not, I may want them too!

Edit: The code did NOT expire so I bought them in black also. YAY-- I'm SO HAPPY!!! I'm a boot fanatic and those boots are just gorgeous. And I love that you can wear them tall or slouched.
