Midis and boots with no leg showing can shorten your leg line.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067709 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 22:30:43 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1067709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great feedback and thank you for the links.

It just depends on so many things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067377 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 18:01:58 +0000 nancylee 1067377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think there's a rule for this. &nbsp;If you feel comfortable wearing a midi with tall boots and not letting any leg show I think that's perfectly fine. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the links, Suz!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067364 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 17:55:03 +0000 Julie 1067364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz said it very well, but she left out the most important word, proportion. Being only 5'3", I learned early that hem length is critical for a below the knee length skirt. If I wear high heeled boots, the hem could go a bit longer, but not much. I usually set my hem length while wearing flat or low heeled boots, knowing that heels would also work. My skirt also covers my boot tops. I can't afford a flash of leg at this hem length. I would love to be able to wear the even longer skirts with the flat riding boots a couple of my taller friends can pull off. High heeled boots work better for me. I only wear ankle boots with jeans. When I was thinner, I did wear ankle boots with short skirts and dresses.</p> <p>I don't think it matters if your outfit looks like retro 70s, as long as it looks good. If it looks good, it's timeless.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067282 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 16:25:44 +0000 kkards 1067282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if been wondering the same thing. is a long skirt with a tall boot retro good or does it look like a 70"s hangover? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067276 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 16:21:38 +0000 Diana 1067276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, if the skirt is knee length or shorter, I strongly prefer some leg showing. But if the skirt is a true midi then I could go either way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067224 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:50:38 +0000 Suz 1067224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think each of us has our own sweet spot. It depends on the cut of the skirt, our height, the length of our calves, the heel height of the boots. Angie has a bunch of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/10/18/boots-and-hemlines-mind-the-gap/">blog posts</a> on this subject in the archives.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067216 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:46:45 +0000 Anonymous 1067216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think so. I know Angie has said she likes the look when a midi skirt comes down over the top of boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-lengths-boot-question#post-1067215 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:45:22 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1067215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank for the feedback on my pink look that was off! &nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-one-is-a-misssuggestions">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....uggestions</a></p> <p>A response has me pondering a new question....</p> <p>With all the midi skirts and varying skirt lengths out there are they going to be paired with booties or heels versuse knee- high boots? or in other words Is necessary to wear a shorter skirt that lets a little leg show with knee high boots? &nbsp; </p>
