The key is a tonal match. Not necessarily a colour match. I wore my burgundy booties with navy pants but they were both the same colour value, so there was a clean line. It allowed me to feel "updated' but not FROZEN. Remember last year when they were showing shorter booties with a sliver of skin? I was saying, okay, September, early October, but no way after Thanksgiving, so how am I supposed to look current??? And these higher shaft booties were the answer. Could still wear the ankle length pant (or even a bit shorter) without freezing to death.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713439 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 20:57:10 +0000 catgirl 1713439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ones I'm replacing (which were old and fell apart pre-YLF) pretty much worked with anything because of the close fit. I could actually wear skinnies over the shaft too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713426 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 20:09:38 +0000 Anonymous 1713426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I was thinking of regular skinnies, maybe rolled, or yes, cropped skinnies. Something that is quite tight in the ankle.</p> <p>I have BR ankle pants, Suz, so your experience is really encouraging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713383 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 18:42:48 +0000 Suz 1713383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a pair of boots with a shaft like this with skinnies and the Sloan BR (skinny) ankle pants last year. I just pulled the skinny over it and rolled under so that the shaft height looked good to my eye with the pant. It worked like a charm, because no gap between pant and boot, so I could wear them even in true winter. I wore the same boots with kick crops, too, but if anything I liked them better with the slim pants due to the weather issue -- no cold winds snuck in with the skinnies.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713381 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 18:41:29 +0000 Angie 1713381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you mean cropped skinnies?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713364 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 18:09:53 +0000 Anonymous 1713364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...well, the cuff of the skinny would come up to near mid calf to be able to rest on top, and I wasn't sure about that. I've only seen these types of boots with tights or wider leg pants like kick crops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713317 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 16:09:20 +0000 skylurker 1713317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The "sock" design would work well I think, if there's little contrast with your jeans, could make your legs very long.<br /> OTOH, I'm not feeling the square toes with skinnies - but I've never tried the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713304 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 15:49:55 +0000 Tanya 1713304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am hoping to find a pair of lighter color sock booties.&nbsp; I don't see why they wouldn't work with skinnies.&nbsp; The narrow fit should make them quite versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713297 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 15:35:32 +0000 viva 1713297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any experience with these sock booties, smittie, but they seem like they could be great with cuffed skinnies. Are your skinnies cuffable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-booties-and-skinnies#post-1713296 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 15:34:14 +0000 Anonymous 1713296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there -<br />I'm&nbsp;considering a pair of high shaft booties (Una's sock boots), but I was wondering whether this style suitable to skinnies. <br />If not, I might wait until next year when&nbsp;I'm more invested in kick crops/culottes.</p>
