Default Is it tacky?

I used to see a ton of people sporting the gaucho dress pant with a tall high heel boot all the time. I still see it occasionally however, I have never sported the look myself. Was this ever acceptable in fashion? Is it still?

Oh geez. This is just my opinion, but I really am not a favor of gauchos unless worn as yoga pants or around the house! I dont think they are tacky, but it is definitely not the best look out there.

I think it was a cute look a few years ago for about 1/2 a season. I still have a couple of pairs that I sleep in on occasion.

I'm not a big fan of gauchos in general, but if I had to wear them for some reason, I would definately not choose to pair them with high heeled boots!

Yeah, i remember that look. It was cute, but I think it's a past season look now.

I think that looks so very tacky..I would never ever wear that. Gaucho pants should only be worn for yoga and lounging.

Yikes!

I still wear gauchos to work sometimes (with flip flops or flats) because they're comfortable, but I don't think they should be dressy.

I think that the gaucho dress pant with a tall high heel boot was a hot look, but I think that it's a look that only some people can pull off. The best bet would be to pair gauchos with a cute pair of ballet flats.

As usual, I'm the odd girl out. I adore gauchos, always have since they came into style 2-3 years ago, and I think they look hot with tall boots. They have to be nice gauchos (wool and NOT high-waisted) and nice boots.

Yoga pants are one thing, but those cheap gauchos made of cotton t-shirt material that the teeny-boppers wear should all disappear, IMO.
