If I'm going to add a pair this year, it may be either a really fab pair of cognac ones that strike the right balance of refined and casual, or a pair of lace-up tall boots (again in the right balance of refined and casual/rocker) to replace the Fryes I had to pass along a couple of years ago because the heel height became just too much to bear. They looked so good but I need a lower heel these days if I'm ever going to bother wearing them.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839567 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 13:20:52 +0000 Penny 1839567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for belted dresses with tall boots! Will be more on trend with my winter standard approach - and maybe will find more options (eventually) to replace the two pairs of tall black boots that I've been wearing for many years . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839525 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 07:17:19 +0000 Laura G 1839525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ginger, congrats on the beautiful boots (relatively) cheap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839371 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 21:39:51 +0000 Jenn 1839371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I've forgotten how to wear full-length pants.

And tall boots. And hopefully I'll finally find some dresses and a skirt or two.<br /> Thanks for the analysis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839344 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 20:28:56 +0000 Ginger 1839344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the posts you do on trends! What a wonderful teaser! </p> <p>I like pretty much everything in this list, surprise, and I'm very much looking forward to shopping for them as they trickle into retail.</p> <p>By outrageous serendipity, I found just this week a pair of navy Aquatalia tall boots for a price I could afford. These have been on my want-someday-but-may-never-happen list, so I'm super thrilled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839330 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 19:58:22 +0000 Aquamarine 1839330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie...looking forward to busting out the tall boots again (but I never really put them away!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839282 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 18:09:25 +0000 Anonymous 1839282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the brown Hush Puppies boots below at the end of the season, and am looking forward to wearing them this year. I also just bought a pair of navy blue Clarks boots that I'm sure I'll wear a lot.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839278 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 18:02:52 +0000 Anonymous 1839278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Angie, we will wear tall boots this season. KL, I have those ECCO Hobarts because I can tighten the shaft a little with the buckles. Do the Cole Haan blush boots fit a narrow calf? KKards, I am also liking that styling of black released hem skirt and tall boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839263 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 17:27:18 +0000 Thistle 1839263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*sniffle* No athleisure. *sniffle*</p> <p>Like the pants, but they can keep the dresses and skirts. Unless I can find a way to wear them without a lot of fuss.</p> <p>Hmmm, how to wear the tall boots...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839258 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 16:59:53 +0000 Jenava 1839258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing all the new ideas this time of year. &nbsp;Thanks for distilling down some essentials! &nbsp;I feel like the 70's dressy vibe that started maybe with Gucci has made it's way into everything and I love it!</p> <p>I also noticed all the tall boots; I haven't really worn mine in a while although I've kept them neatly stored (booties are just so much easier to style, plus when wearing pants....). &nbsp;I also noticed the tall boots plus cropped flares seems to be a thing. &nbsp;I am going to try more skirts and dresses plus tall boots this fall. &nbsp;I think I have some good items; they just need more air time!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839221 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 14:40:13 +0000 JAileen 1839221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Boden has a terrier shirt too.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-shirts-blouses/long-sleeved-tops/wa784-mpk/womens-pink-sprout-conversational-the-classic-shirt" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/.....ssic-shirt</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839210 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 14:05:39 +0000 anchie 1839210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great news for me.

So far I noted a lot of glen plaids (yay!) and some luxe fabrics, the belting you mentioned.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/3#post-1839196 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:29:01 +0000 Lisa 1839196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tall boots and full length trousers are music to my ears. &nbsp;I like wearing cropped bottoms and short boots but tall boots and full leg coverage are my personal preference. &nbsp;And the lack of athleisure, well that can't come fast enough. &nbsp;I was beginning to think that soon all I'm going to see are people wearing is PJ's everyday. &nbsp;After all, I don't know what style of clothing is even more casual than gym clothes and lounge wear except for PJ's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839192 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:04:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1839192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this --- I enjoyed perusing the Pinterest board, and will return later!</p> <p>I love tall boots, but have difficulty finding a good fit, being in-between regular and wide calf sizes, usually. &nbsp;I also would find it difficulty to pull them on an off every time I enter a client's home. &nbsp;For this year, at least, I'll be finding ways to refresh my booties with updated versions! &nbsp;</p> <p>Like you, fluidity with structure (what I call "flow") is preferred to the oversize trend! &nbsp;I'm looking forward to fluid garments with real shoulder seams, for example!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839183 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 12:10:45 +0000 Laura 1839183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all sad if we say good-bye to athleisure. I find it hard to believe it will happen any time soon, but I'll keep hoping it's one of those trends that will slowly filter out, per your note. &nbsp;</p> <p>Tall boots with dresses and skirts are very 70s and incredibly flattering. It makes me want a DVF wrap dress and your blue boots, Angie. Excited for that trend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839165 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:03:32 +0000 kkards 1839165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you...i love when you do these seasonal trend reviews, really helps me to focus...<br />and this tall boots and skirts trend....taking me back to high school, loved that look and now you have me longing to wear it again....in fact i'm obsessing&nbsp;over this look from your board.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839150 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:27:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 1839150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah my 2011 tall leather boots have just hit 42 wears. I have worn them quite a few times this winter including today and am pleased I kept them for the years perhaps 2014-16 when I didn't wear them as much, being enamoured of booties. They will come back into their own, yay! I still like them and they are still in good nick. Hopefully next winter for us, almost a year away, they will still be trendy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839148 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:23:42 +0000 aditi.singhania 1839148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting the fashion trends of fall-winter. Tall boots are a must have for winters. It not only offers warmth but also are super comfortable. I can't wait to grab a new pair this fall.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839146 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:09:07 +0000 Brooklyn 1839146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for tall boots! I never stopped wearing them. They make a lot of sense when wearing dresses in winter. It will be great if they start trending again because more styles will be available! I desperately need a new taupe or light tan coloured pair. I am sorted for black and brown tall boots.<br /> I like the other trends too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839120 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 04:57:49 +0000 DonnaF 1839120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm probably the only person on YLF who is not a tall boot person (for myself only); too hard to fit and my climate doesn't require them.&nbsp; My last pair of boots got buried in the back of my closet and I was so surprised that I even owned a pair!&nbsp; Which means that particular purchase would be a waste of money for me.&nbsp; </p> <p>I've noticed more wide waist belts being sold over the past year or so, but not the dresses, skirts, or pants with which to wear them.&nbsp; Maybe now we'll see them?</p> <p>I do love maximalism. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839119 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 04:54:32 +0000 Gigi 1839119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, can't wait for your final post on the trends, Angie.</p> <p>Were there many OTK boots?</p> <p>I love knee-high boots, but I too have a slim calf. I'm so glad you found a pair that works for you, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839117 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 04:44:19 +0000 Keix 1839117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm excited for the resurgence of tall boots. Mine have been packed away for several years, getting only a little bit of wear. But they're all in great shape, fit my legs well, and are flat--I passed on my only pair of heeled tall boots a while ago--so very wearable.</p> <p>I've got black, cognac, and blush, which is the whole complement that I need. I'm trying to stay away from navy because I wear so much blue denim. I wouldn't mind another pair in grey if it's the right shade... but I need to remember that I still live in California where it's never truly boot weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839116 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 04:43:32 +0000 Dianna 1839116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Angie, besides being a super mega talented and skilled stylist you are so sweet.&nbsp; I promise I will post once work slows down a bit and I have time to change my only &nbsp;full time mirror to a place with better lighting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839108 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 04:01:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1839108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Smittie--the fall shows are always overwhelming to me. I don't know how you make sense of it all, but I'm glad you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-tidbits-for-fall-winter-2017/page/2#post-1839106 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 03:56:44 +0000 karen13 1839106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait for the full report. I will figure out which of these trends work for me and my very casual life, and enjoy the others vicariously through YFL. I hope embroidery is not going away any time soon. </p> <p>It does take so long for high fashion trends to work their way into my world; I will have plenty of time for my eye to adapt to the ones that don't currently grab me. </p>
