Completely black color outfits hardly seen, but during winters better to wear black as it absorb heat making body warmer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-1856543 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 05:12:37 +0000 Anonymous 1856543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe that I just found this really old thread! Yes, I am wearing flat boots with skinny jeans. The tall boots keep my legs warm and the jeans tucked help fill any gap at the top of the boot. I added a recent photo of the Hoxton jeans with tall flat boots. It is hard to see with all the black on black.<br /> The cardigan is a K/R. I had to retire my old long black cardigan and am unsure about this one. It is a good light weight for fall but is probably too light for really cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-1844715 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 23:54:07 +0000 judy 1844715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun to randomly stop in and see this thread that I'm realizing is 9 years old! &nbsp; Wow. &nbsp;How far have we come ladies?? &nbsp;Lovely to see you all. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-1844653 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 21:19:07 +0000 minimalist 1844653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jenni said; now I'd like to see some "then, and now" WIWs. How did you fab that look then, Joy, and how are you fabbing it now?</p> <p>I'm laughing at the revival of this thread. The hesitance of the question didn't strike me as very Joy; my impression of you is confident in general and unafraid of trying new-to-you things. </p> <p>Everyone looks good in some variation of this, at any age, in a wide span of settings, if all the components fit. Like Gryffin, (opaque and sometimes structured) leggings are my skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-1844631 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 20:03:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 1844631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I want to know is...

And those church ladies might do well with a little "gentle" shocking. Sometimes my most shocked looks come from women my own age who are wearing clothes that look so dated and matronly. I can only hope they are inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-17326 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:17:26 +0000 Anonymous 17326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Plushpenguin!<br /> It's definitely a look I'd need to play with.<br /> I think I'd most like boots with a bit of a wedge heel. Other than jeans and a pair of b&#38;w microcheck wool straight leg pants (thrifted), I haven't purchased any bottoms in my new size, but really want to work on a fall/winter layered smart casual look that won't be too shocking to my "church lady" dressed friends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-17322 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:59:50 +0000 Plushpenguin 17322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that look works well on anyone, but if you're concerned about age appropriateness<br /> maybe you should go for a thicker heel if it's high. If it's a lower heel, go with whatever you like, even flat boots. A women your age could still wear knee high stiletto boots, I htink, if your comfortable in them and you have the confidence. Just don't combine too many trends at once. Purple, patent, knee-high boots might be too much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-17321 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:58:45 +0000 Anonymous 17321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have been wondering if I should play it safe and just not go there, but I think I will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-17316 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:54:33 +0000 julijuli 17316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so happy you asked this question. As a "40ish" gal, I've been pondering whether to try this look in the fall. Angie, will this look work for a shorter pear? I think you mentioned wearing a longer tunic type top? I'm worried I'll just look squat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-17315 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:52:09 +0000 Angie 17315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll wear the look well at your age, Joy. Women over 60 in Europe sport this look so why shouldn’t you!</p> <p>Flats are more casual than heels so I’ll go with suggesting flat boots. I disagree that “the skirt with boots ensemble” looks too dressy. It’s a look that can be translated into a smart casual or casual dress code chop-chop. Especially over the age of 60. Hope I’ve panted a seed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-over-60s-wear-skinnies-tucked-into-knee-length-boots#post-17274 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:54:15 +0000 Anonymous 17274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did a search on the forum for how to wear knee length boots because I've never worn them and am curious as to whether I can pull off this look as smart casual at my age. I can understand wearing them with skirts and dresses, but the look seems too dressy for me for most days. Will an older woman with gray hair look fab or silly with skinnies tucked into knee length boots? Should the boots be flat or heeled? </p>
