Of course what I personally like matters, but I have tried and worn all the options in the past and I like them equally well.&nbsp; I am merely curious about what is the most current way to way booties that are not the newest as I have quite a few pairs and would like to continue to wear them in an updated manner.</p> <p>Cerinda, I would probably hem those pants just a smidgen shorter than the top of the booties.&nbsp; Perhaps consider posting a photo/starting a new thread?</p> <p>Ledonna, thank you!&nbsp; I like both of those as well.</p> <p>Angie, no need to apologize, I hope you managed&nbsp; your obligations in a&nbsp; timely manner and thank you for chiming in.&nbsp; I am mostly interested in how to wear these lower shaft booties with skinny/straight pants/jeans, other types of bottoms don't get much wear from me in the fall.&nbsp; Obviously, such booties work well under long flares too.&nbsp; If I understood your answer correctly,<br />1. Lower shaft booties can be worn with cropped straights/flares too as long as the ankle fit is sleek enough?&nbsp; This is news to me, I thought those pants always require higher booties.<br />2. Full length skinnies are still worn best with lower shaft booties with a little scrunch?<br />3. Is the rolled/cuffed look (till right above the booties) present so much in the recent years with BF jeans not so fresh anymore?</p> <p>Unfrumped, your input is much appreciated.&nbsp; What you describe sounds like a timeless modern classic look.</p> <p>Aida, thank you so much for your input!&nbsp; I am very glad to hear&nbsp; that such a stylish Fabber wore all the four options last fall, and will probably do so this fall as well.&nbsp; Id id your little folding before scrunching trick too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711575 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 22:09:04 +0000 Aida 1711575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, last fall I did all four of the options you described except the last because I (still) don't have the booties for it but I dearly wanted to. For full length skinnies I did do a little fold under so that there was LESS scrunch than previously. Almost always I was aiming for, at minimum, a little sliver of skin showing regardless of method because optically you get the effect of "cropped pants" that way and that's what felt most modern especially with older booties. And I cuffed more for weekend/casual looks, and folded under for work/dressier looks. Planning to do just the same this fall, except that this season I actually have some properly cropped pants so I won't have to fold as often </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711427 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 18:06:32 +0000 unfrumped 1711427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wearing mineunder long " bootcuts" of whatever style. Also, if the boot shaft is nicely fitted I can wear long straight pants over them, so I am focused on that good ankle fit for that reason. This is not a high- fashion look, but is a polished work look for winter especially ( no snow but too cold for bare ankles) because a good straight wool pant is a wardrobe staple, and low- heeled booties with a thin sock have high potential for foot comfort, while the smooth vamp gives a sleek look when wearing a lower heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711393 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:44:09 +0000 Angie 1711393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, excuse my brevity - I'm in a rush. From my own wardrobe as examples - this is what I do:</p> <ul> <li>&nbsp;I wear short shaft booties like #1 with regular length scrunched skinnies or under LONG flares. I also wear them with skirts, culottes and cropped flares/straights. The VERY tailored fit on the ankle is imperative.&nbsp;</li> <li>I wear #2 with LONG flares, skirts, harem pants and cropped flares/straights.&nbsp;</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711392 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:41:24 +0000 Ledonna N. 1711392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casually rolled pants jeans with booties</p> <p> I like the look of a crop with booties also </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711389 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:36:51 +0000 Cerinda 1711389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just what I've been pondering, Tanya. &nbsp;I tired of #3 last year, so I scrunched and folded, but I'll be trying again. &nbsp;I'm also considering shortening my black and dark denim straight legs to wear with higher-shaft boots; as you noted, that shorter length feel fresh. Any suggestions for what length to hem slim burgundy ponte pants to wear with a tonal bootie?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711376 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:14:50 +0000 always trying 1711376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is what suits you.&nbsp; no skin, and even socks for cold weather,&nbsp;more leg if the weather is very warm. And also your body proportions like leg length etc. the proportions for your outfit. type of pants or jeans you are wearing--many factors.&nbsp; </p> <p>For very casual rolled jeans look great with most bootie types, for a dressy look a long unbroken line looks better, so no skin showing would be the way to go.&nbsp; so it is like Smittie said, what you like.&nbsp; This is what makes fashion fun, and our individual styles.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711359 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 15:29:41 +0000 Anonymous 1711359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can probably wear shorter booties with crops and a bit of ankle showing too, maybe with a sock to close the gap a little. I guess it all depends on what YOU like.<br /> I personally prefer to completely close the gap, so I'd opt for higher shaft booties with crops every time, and long skinnies or flares with shorter boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711352 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 15:11:22 +0000 Lisa 1711352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great question, I am looking forward to the answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711343 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:50:40 +0000 deb 1711343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question, Tanya. I will be watching this thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-forum-how-to-wear-regular-shaft-height-booties-with-pantsjeans#post-1711335 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:11:39 +0000 Tanya 1711335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With fall dressing becoming the fashion focus, I have footwear on my mind, as it is the crucial point for me when putting outfits together.&nbsp; I am aware that the most current boots and pants combo involves higher shaft booties worn with cropped straight or kick flare jeans.&nbsp; However, there are still plenty of booties, with shorter, regular height shaft around and I am curious about what are the best ways to wear them in 2016 regarding pant hems, assuming ubiquitous skinny/relaxed skinny/slim straight pant cuts.&nbsp; Some options would be:<br />1. With full length skinnies, scrunched<br />2. With full length skinnies, folded under for a neat look, no skin showing<br />3. With skinnies cuffed right above the top of the booties, a sliver of skin showing<br />4. With cropped skinnies ending right above the boot <br />Which of these looks best right now, and feel free to suggest any alternatives I haven't though of.&nbsp; Also, a related question is what is the best way to wear regular length skinnies with booties.&nbsp; </p>
