I say go for cognac for some variety in your boot wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222763 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:54:04 +0000 tarzy 222763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those would be a great option! As Angie pointed out, they are not at all a bright color. I always love that color when I see others wearing it with jeans - but I have the same reservations as you. However, that's such a nice subdued color, I think it could really work.</p> <p>(Now you have me thinking about a subdued cognac!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222761 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:53:01 +0000 annagybe 222761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of vegan grey over the knee boots that I got last year. I like them and wore them a fair amount. This year I got the SW OTK's in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222758 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:45:36 +0000 Srujana 222758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie and thunalata...you make dealing with indecision rather painless </p> <p>biscuitmom, I know they're trendy, that's why I'm not really shelling out money for a pricier pair. But I wear long sweaters + legging + boots at least a couple times a week during the winter and I'm tired of calf length boots, so I thought it would be nice to switch it up a bit :)</p> <p>Inge, chestnut riding boots sound lovely...my concern with getting that color in these was that a large portion of my body will be swathed in cognac. But I've had this tab open on my browser for a week now and I still want them, so maybe I'll just get them and ask for opinions then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222670 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:27:02 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 222670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too - love the cognac ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222645 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:01:32 +0000 Inge 222645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote cognac Srujana. I used to be weary of "lighter coloured" boots too, for the exact same reason as you are. But since I found a pair of chestnut riding style boots, I've been wearing them a lot with black and dark blue leggings and jeans and I really love the extra interest they add to an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222596 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 19:57:31 +0000 Angie 222596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'd rock the cognac colour. They are quite muted and low heeled. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222591 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 19:53:10 +0000 biscuitsmom 222591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im not Angie, but I would think the 'trendiness' factor lies in the style, not the color in this case. Cognac is a classic color -especially for fall.....if you're set on getting OTK boots, I'd go for that color in a heartbeat.....I do think OTK boots will be short-lived, however...but you'd get a lot of use from them this fall and *possibly* next.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-otk-boots-too-trendy-for-cognac#post-222482 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 18:07:59 +0000 Srujana 222482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my eye on these boots: <a href="http://www.dsw.com/shoe//shoe/madden+girl+zeda+over+the+knee+boot?prodId=207433&#038;brand=300211&#038;cm_mmc=affil-_-ShopStyle.com-_-main-_-main" rel="nofollow">http://www.dsw.com/shoe//shoe/.....ain-_-main</a></p> <p>But I'm torn on the color: I pretty much only wear solid black leggings and medium-dark wash denim. Practically speaking, black would probably be the best choice ( as its slimming, and wouldn't cut my leg off at the lower thigh), but I already have 2 pairs of black calf length boots and I'm tired of black.<br /> I'm loving the cognac color that these come in (I think that cognac would make them a great transitional item through our Fall/Winter months, right?), but are OTK boots too trendy in that color? Would it look odd and/or potentially limit my outfit choices? I like the grey too..but I already have a great pair of grey calf length suede boots. </p> <p>My local store has them in my size in black only. I plan to go in and try them on for fit and comfort...but I would like a second opinion on the color. </p>
