It's too hot and humid here, and I run too warm. I have to peel off even my running shoes and socks the moment I get in the door. My toes will barely be covered all summer long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1281010 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:21:59 +0000 T 1281010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha! Worn with cotton socks they are very comfortable. I don't like open toed slippers at all. India being a dusty place, it tends to dirty my feet &amp; I just *hate* the feeling of dirt on my feet. I prefer closed shoes as far as possible. Besides with a corporate job I hardly spend time in the hot weather outside. Even during peak of summers, the temperatures in my office hover around 18 degrees and it is very comfortable to wear ankle boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280987 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 10:13:27 +0000 fuzzylogic 1280987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Far tooooooo hot here for booties in summer!<br /> I would be guided by the look you want to create (giggle, giggle) and the climate. If you can wear those in summer then power to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280909 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:56:18 +0000 Neel 1280909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your inputs! I am do glad I have lot of *wear boots in summer* friends :D. I am going to do a test run today. Will post outfit pics later in the day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280866 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 03:59:57 +0000 M.J. 1280866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could so imagine wearing booties on a cool summer day. I guess that being said I myself haven't done it, but might give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280858 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 03:47:33 +0000 Angela K 1280858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First let me say that I am seriously coveting your boogie collection! Love them all! I used to be a sandal wearer as soon as it was warm enough and a boot wearer when the weather cooled off. Closed shoes don't fit properly so I try to just skip them where possible. I tend to run hot in the summer so usually I just stick to sandals, BUT, I bought a pair of metallic soft leather booties on sale and just had to wear them, hot weather or not. And I loved the look (I wore them with white jeans). So I think that definitely you can wear the lighter ones and if the darker ones aren't too hot, then I think with the lighter summer clothing they would be great but I do agree with the others that you should definitely show some ankle skin to keep it seasonally appropriate. </p> <p>So enjoy and please post some of your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280794 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 02:56:31 +0000 Gigi 1280794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, if it is a milder summer day, I would wear booties, even black ones. I just wore my leopard print booties last week, with my white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280739 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 02:08:58 +0000 Isabel 1280739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would absolutely do it. &nbsp;I think that it looks cool. &nbsp;And with your dark hair, I say yay to the black ones too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280649 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 00:51:30 +0000 Diana 1280649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, totally acceptable! I would wear boots year round if I didn't think I'd die of heat. You know I adore the look of boots/booties on bare legs. I think if you show some leg even black boots are seasonally appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280640 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 00:42:07 +0000 Sal 1280640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is totally acceptable....<br />I tend to wear my ankle boots a lot in winter and not much in summer but this is because my feet get so hot....<br />I love the looks Inge has posted with white jeans and black boots- I don't own white jeans but think I may have to reconsider this. &nbsp;For me this would be a spring or autumn look as it would be too hot to wear boots and jeans in summer, but those trans-seasonal looks are awesome in our climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280629 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 00:26:03 +0000 Aida 1280629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also wear boots year 'round. In warmer weather, I need to accompany said boots with exposed skin to feel seasonally right though. So like, with shorts and a sleeveless top. Or a skirt and lightweight jacket. Things like that. I MIGHT wear them in a fully covered outfit if it were full of sheer gauzy layers, but if the fabric is any thicker I'd skip in favor of more conventionally summery looking shoes. That's just me though, my "heat" is nowhere near as high as yours is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280373 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:27:33 +0000 Thistle 1280373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these would totally work in the summer. I like the look of ankle boots, bare legs, and a dress. Which is so totally not practical any other time of year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280370 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:25:33 +0000 Neel 1280370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you lovely ones for your inputs! I think I am all aboard the boot train .... Will post a few outfit pics soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280341 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:50:58 +0000 greenglove 1280341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear boots all seasons, even black.<br />But, my lifestyle is very casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280339 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:49:13 +0000 cciele 1280339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another year-round boot wearer! I don't see it as a faux pas, but it's more accepted in&nbsp;some geographic areas (e.g., SoCal, SF, NYC) than others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280253 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:26:32 +0000 crutcher 1280253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love my Mz. Moos blue boots...and I wear them year round... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280245 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:18:07 +0000 Ledonna N. 1280245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see the middle ones working in the summer time.&nbsp; They are all beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280202 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:24:31 +0000 Adelfa 1280202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel, around here (Los Angeles) many stylish women wear their dark booties year round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280195 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:08:28 +0000 Neel 1280195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Shannon and Jackiec!</p> <p>The only light colored booties I own are the center ones in glittery pewter. And it seems many agree lighter boots are OK for sumer. I could also probably get away with the chelsea short boots in black since it's a lot less black than the other pair?</p> <p>Shannon - They are very comfy and their heel height is perfect for walking. One of the very few shoes I own with walkable heels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280190 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:00:42 +0000 Neel 1280190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Inge, gryffin, shevia, T and froggiebecky. I am glad I won't get discerning looks!</p> <p>Inge - Those pins are very helpful! Thank you!</p> <p>Gryffin - I love what you said about owning the look. I think I would wear boots too and make the look my own :)</p> <p>T - You wear ankle boots in Indian heat. I would probably slip on my own sweat if I wore it there. Lol</p> <p>Shevia - Thank you for the boot love :)</p> <p>Frogiebecky - I am far from a cow girl look. But I love the idea. And I am off to browse her site for some info! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280187 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 13:57:13 +0000 jackiec 1280187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on what they are styled with. I wear my light coloured booties year round.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nice booties BTW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280184 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 13:55:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1280184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they're comfy, wear them. I love the look of booties with bare legs and a summer dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280111 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:52:50 +0000 froggiebecky 1280111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if it were black, formal ankle booties, it might look a little seasonally confused (like in your pic), but it really depends on the look. I know Sally over at Already Pretty says that her "inner cowgirl" comes out every summer, and she sports lots of summer looks with booties and boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280109 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:46:26 +0000 T 1280109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like gryffin, I have come very recently to the realization that I am a boot girl too! I wear ankle boots in summer and winter, so I wouldn't think of it as a faux pas.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280098 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:38:26 +0000 Jaime 1280098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if it feels right in terms of the temperature and light, it looks right. Those are great looking booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280070 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:17:26 +0000 gryffin 1280070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel - I am a boot girl.&nbsp; YLF helped me clarify that I really don't like "shoe" per se but I adore boots - booties, shooties, etc.&nbsp; I don't wear sandals since my feet get cold and I am a total klutz and breat my toes.&nbsp; So that was a long winded way of saying I only wear boots, no matter what the weather.&nbsp; I was wearing black suede booties yesterday.&nbsp; I do wear my cut of JC everly, my JC slashed alexia both the booties and peeptoe booties alot.&nbsp;&nbsp; But my ariat heritage lacers are always in rotation.&nbsp; I think of it as trademark for me, rather than seasonal confusion!!&nbsp; Don't know if that helps but that's what I do!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280069 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:14:47 +0000 Inge 1280069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely wear my lighter-coloured booties and ankle boots in Spring and Summer too when it's chillier. And I also don't mind a darker bootie, especially when it's worn with lighter-coloured bottoms (white or light wash jeans, for example). That does not feel seasonally confused to me.</p> <p>Here are a few examples from Pinterest:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/438608451181601155/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/438608451181601155/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273241902364714936/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273241902364714936/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/62628251038028612/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/62628251038028612/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/74379831319432088/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/74379831319432088/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/417990409135200070/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/417990409135200070/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/343047696586658764/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/343047696586658764/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280068 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:06:46 +0000 Neel 1280068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you unfrumped and verniejane for your inputs.</p> <p>I am not planning on buying new shoes for summer (except glads) I was wondering if I could maximize the use of my boots. Especially since they are so comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280062 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 09:46:07 +0000 VernieJane 1280062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I wouldn't wear black leather ankle boots with summer clothes, unless its with a dress maybe, in the evening or something... I do think it would look "seasonally confused" as you say. </p> <p>Otherwise, maybe go for&nbsp;some <a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/Miista-ELIZABETH-x269477.php" rel="nofollow">sandal boots</a> that are getting popular right now, or even <a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/Dune-FINDER-x298161.php" rel="nofollow">ankle boots with an open toe</a>...</p> <p>Personally I can't stand to wear anything but sandals in summer... yes I freeze in the office, but then I go outside and thaw!!! LOL</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-boots-in-summer---faux-pas#post-1280058 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 09:00:15 +0000 unfrumped 1280058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll watch for replies because I have a a similar issue-- have trousers that look best with short boots but want to summerize. See post on nude footwear. I've been looking instead for the right sort of cutout bootie or a type of metallic or maybe 2- tone. Also for me, an ankle boot is the best way to get a wearable 1.5-2" heel, again something that works well for certain pants. </p>
