The right dark brown can add unexpected interest to a wardrobe of cool dark colors. Also, 50+ women who dress conservatively can benefit greatly from adding a little edge! Since I did this people seem to enjoy how I dress, and I get feedback that I'm hip but still professional and age-appropriate. Go for the Fryes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780640 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:45:14 +0000 Janet 780640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them and think they would be very versatile, especially for a casual life. I definitely plan on wearing my combat boots (Docs, even more casual) into my 50s! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780637 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:39:51 +0000 rae 780637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them! I think combat boots are a classic now, and these are a refined style. You can certainly pull them off and then some! They are totally different from the Veronica Slouch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780632 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:15:01 +0000 Anonymous 780632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great -- I ordered the engineer 8Rs and my order hasn't even shipped yet! I love these on you and I wish I had ordered some to try too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780629 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:12:41 +0000 Inge 780629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are quite different from the Veronica slouch boots, so I wouldn't worry about that. These boots are a gorgeous colour that will work well with black, blue, grey, purple, dark green, teal, cream, Winter white... And of course fabulous over 50 you can wear them!-)</p> <p>I could also see these work with slim ponte knit pants, jeggings, a slim fitting dressy trouser tucked into the boot, perhaps boyfriend jeans, ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780624 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 19:55:53 +0000 Suz 780624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fantastic to me, Glory. I'd say go for it if the comfort is there. The colour sounds wonderfully rich. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780623 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 19:54:26 +0000 kellygirl 780623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous boots! They are perfect for MOTG and suitable for all ages, IMHO. They look great with skinnies but I see no reason why they wouldn't work with bootcuts, skirt and dresses. In terms of color, I love a deep brown with black undertones. My favorite boots (RIP) were this color and went with everything and added a richness and depth to basic outfits. I think high quality footwear is a great way to add polish to a casual wardrobe. I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780616 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 19:40:16 +0000 bj1111 780616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no pix posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combat-boots-came-without-the-swag#post-780613 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 19:37:58 +0000 Glory 780613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the Frye combat boots arrived. They are beauties. They are dark brown but have some black and red undertones to them. So I love them BUT... am fraught with questions and need to decide K/R. They are pretty pricey for me so I want to be sure. My style is casual and I am looking to add higher quality items and try to stay current without looking like my teenagers.<br /> 1. Do I have enough cool or swag to carry these off? Am I too old for them as an over 50 working mom.<br /> 2. Colour - will this shade of brown be versatile. I only have black footwear.<br /> 3.. Are they too similar in vibe to the Veronica slouch.<br /> 4. Will they only work with skinny jeans as I do not have occasion for either dresses or skirts.</p> <p> I have posted a few pics - not sure how well you can see them.<br /> Any feedback is appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
