Your boots sound like they were eye catching and fun, Carol! I love fair isle. I am thinking of wearing these with a black chiffon pleated skirt, black tights and either a camel or black sweater, to The Nutcracker next week. If I do, will post a few pics as best I can ! No full length mirror but one I can take off the wall and angle, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2346131 Sun, 03 Dec 2023 04:49:12 +0000 Carol 2346131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are super fun, and really flexible I think. Joggers or straight leg jeans in grey, black, white would look great. Just scrunch them up so they show the boot. Boots like that also look great with skirts. I had such boots, a little less chunky, in a fair isle/black and white pattern. I wore them with black tights and a black a-line skirt. Not the most sophisticated look, but everyone said I looked great.&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, pleather or vegan leather leggings. And I would avoid any wide-leg, boot-leg stuff...straight or skinny for this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2346082 Sat, 02 Dec 2023 18:09:24 +0000 Lee 2346082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, I’ll definitely share what I do.

Great idea!

Grrr.<br /> Do y’all think they would be too nutty to wear to The Nutcracker? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345820 Thu, 30 Nov 2023 02:59:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2345820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous boots! You have a lot of good suggestions here already, and I'll echo some of them. I would try a skirt or dress (mini or midi) and tights, maybe also with socks layered and showing above the top of the boot. In warmer weather, you could wear them with shorts that have some volume--baggy cutoffs or pleated shorts; add a slouchy blazer. or boyfriend cardi if it's not too hot out. I like the idea of boyfriend or straight-leg jeans rolled up above the top of the boot. I think the top of the boots might be a little bit wide to work with wide-legged pants or jeans; generally I prefer a closer-fitting bootie with wide legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345817 Thu, 30 Nov 2023 02:26:32 +0000 Echo 2345817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These boots would go beautifully with knee-length dresses - especially a sweater dress for winter. I love wearing a black dress with black tights and letting fun boots carry the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345805 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 23:44:10 +0000 Lee 2345805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thanks for so many great ideas! Once I get home from work will reply but I can quickly say, I do have a black midi skirt, olive utility joggers, and I do wear bf jeans and straights. I am equally into wearing them where they’re the star and where they’re a bold mix. And my hair is naturally auburn but atm it’s kind of a dark caramel color.<br /> Thx, Ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345796 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 22:08:53 +0000 Sloper 2345796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rachylou said. &nbsp;I think these would look great with utility pants - feels more modern to me than leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345785 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 18:46:52 +0000 MsMary 2345785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear those with my collection of midi-length skirts. Especially the tulle versions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345780 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 18:00:36 +0000 Angie 2345780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER boots, <b>Lee</b>! Love the pretty floral component,&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with those who suggest styling them like combat boots. Do you have black dresses, midi skirts, and floral dresses? Is your hair black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345771 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 16:17:31 +0000 ophelia 2345771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh black tights &amp; dark skirt w/ sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345768 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:45:31 +0000 Star (Lise) 2345768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second&nbsp;<b>Rachylou's&nbsp;</b>suggestion.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345766 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:13:57 +0000 Roberta 2345766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are sooo great. My immediate thought was black velvet or fleece leggings. Something with some weight. You definitely want to show off the floral design and also keep a long leg line. A tunic sweater or thigh length jacket? Or a long vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345764 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:07:23 +0000 Mirjana 2345764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Star and Janet, also maybe if you wear skirts, midi for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345756 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 14:37:14 +0000 Janet 2345756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Star, I’d try cuffed boyfriend or straight jeans. I’d keep the outfit simple and make the boots the statement because that’s how I roll — not maximal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345738 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 12:39:04 +0000 rachylou 2345738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slouchy combat/utility pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345737 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 12:31:37 +0000 Olive Green 2345737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if you like skirts, but a black midi would look awfully pretty with these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345722 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 07:11:40 +0000 Star (Lise) 2345722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would treat these as you do any combat boots.&nbsp; Why not check out combat boot outfits for 2023 on Pinterest?&nbsp; They do match your fashion personas on your YLF profile.&nbsp; I love a chunky boot.&nbsp; I would cuff boyfriend jeans (cos that is what I wear mostly) quite high to show of the pattern.&nbsp; What style of jeans do you usually wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345721 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:49:51 +0000 Lee 2345721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, glad I’m not alone! Yes, when I’ve tried them on, they’ve been pretty comfy. I am with you, I can’t do leggings as pants, but more power to anyone who can/does. I don’t own any atm but I have considered something narrow with them, too.<br /> I like your idea of plaid with the floral. I don’t shy away from pattern mixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345720 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:46:13 +0000 Lee 2345720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joy! I appreciate your thoughts. I wonder if cropped wide legs would work? I’m not sure if I’d feel really stumpy but they’re too bulky for a straight, I think? I’ll pull them out tomorrow and show the flowers/colors irl. Maybe a burgundy sweater or T … </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345719 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:45:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 2345719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2 pair boots I love but don’t wear- because the heels are a bit high. Bought 2016 and 2017, so you’re not alone!<br /> Yours look really comfortable as flatter? If they were mine I would go the leggings/ponte route with a longer top/tunic over (so as to not do leggings as pants which is not me, others might be all good with that), with maybe some black or red or tartan/plaid in the top, if you have anything like that?<br /> Or look at Nuancedream’s Olive Oyl post to style more like that? She had chunky boots there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345717 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:41:25 +0000 Anonymous 2345717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are stumpers.  What comes to mind…I'd wear current jeans.  They seem to work with everything.  Add a colorful tee that brings out some of the colors in the boots.  Add a topper such as a black leather moto jacket.  I hope this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-por-favor#post-2345712 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:10:06 +0000 Lee 2345712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s embarrassing to think/say that I got these boots (I think about 5 years ago) and they’ve remained unworn.</p> <p>I actually really am drawn to them but they’re really chunky, the top feels a little swashbuckle-y and I don’t want to hide the floral bit.<br /> I haven’t wanted to donate them but it’s feeling completely wasteful keeping them and not using them.</p> <p>I have zero clue how to style these. If you do, I’d love to hear thoughts. TIA. </p>
