I do wear mine at the school gates because I hate a relentless sartorial 'diet' of skinny jeans (much as I love skinnies I get bored of them) and know that the pencil shape suits me. Also it's nice to feel slightly smarter sometimes. Personally prefer mine with a heel mostly, though in hot weather a flat sandal would work for me. I also had a lace one fairly recently from Vertbaudet I think, not sure whether current though.
