A good comment came up on the blog post today:

Sigrid: "To my eye tall boots with skinnies tucked in has started looking a little dated. What’s your opinion on this?"

Me: "Sigrid, thanks for the question. Your own fatigue with a particular look does not mean that it is dated – I hope that makes sense. It’s understandable to get these thoughts mixed up! For example, my own fatigue with high platformed shoes does not mean that the trend is dated. Far from it. It’s still in style, although not as on trend as it was before. Refined and flatter footwear is definitely more fashion forward at the moment.To answer your question, tucking tall boots into slim bottoms is very far from looking dated. It’s a complete mainstream classic combination taken from the ’70s- and is here to stay. Booties in all their incarnations are the hotter on trend item so to speak – but tall boots are very much in style too. Here in the US, tall boots are still being sold left, right and centre".
