Patterned or solid. Or in a belt. You can absolutely wear these boots with skirts and dresses. The hose will need special attention - and that you sort out from outfit to outfit.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967504 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 07:36:35 +0000 rachylou 1967504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants and leggings are a no brainer. Skirt is trickier. I like your outfit with the skirt, but see ‘potential for trouble’ with a coat. I’m guessing that would make for 5 different colours in one outfit and nothing unifying. I’d be tempted to, oh, find a long knit scarf to match your sweater or grey tights... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967501 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 06:33:28 +0000 Jane 1967501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, thank you, yes, leggings and a long sweater would look super.</p> <p>Sal, I was beginning to think I’d made a mistake with them but I’m far happier now.</p> <p>Cardiffgirl it was a lovely stroll and really enjoyable, there is a buzz about town because the 5th is on its way! </p> <p>Thank you The Cat, the bookend tip is really helpful and good to know. </p> <p>Suz, it was romantic! </p> <p>Jenni, it would be lovely to meet up! It would be such fun! My sister lives near Oxford. Castle in lewes is I think circa 1270.</p> <p>Thanks Krish! </p> <p>Suntiger, that is exactly the right word for how I felt about the boots - random - but I feel so much better now. A furry scarf sounds a perfect addition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967428 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 22:31:53 +0000 Anonymous 1967428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the others, i think light to medium jeans and leggings are the easiest for them, and/or if you have a coat or other winter accessories in white! I bought a furry grey scarf to go with my grey snowboots, to make them not seem as random. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967426 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 22:13:47 +0000 krishnidoux 1967426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane I'm glad I helped you but really, you'll find that all it takes is a good pair of non dark bottom to make you cross over!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967403 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 20:34:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 1967403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect with those grey tights, I think I'd like it if those tights were actually leggings or very skinny ponte pants, and then a long jumper or cardigan over to avoid leggings-as-pants. Also awesome with your jeans. What a beautiful castle! I want to see that one day. I have so many pics still of castles from our 1988-9 UK stint and our other 2002-3 UK stint. Also my briefer trips to my sister who lives in Wootton near Boars Hill, Oxford. Castles are so not a thing in NZ as we are such a young country ( founding document 1840).<br /> Would love to meet you one day if I come over to visit my sister again. Hubby hates the long-haul and I haven't been for years She comes here- after all she is the one who left NZ aged 23 and never came back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967398 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 20:25:54 +0000 Suz 1967398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the Cat said. I think it's all in the styling.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glad they got a romantic stroll toward the beautiful castle!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967390 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 20:14:54 +0000 The Cat 1967390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find myself smiling as I view your pics, because your boots remind me of my ski boots bought 1970. I loved them. Most ski boots were black at the time. And I thought my new white ones were so pretty and feminine. They were much admired by my friends. :-)</p> <p>However, your boots are even prettier, and you can absolutely wear them with a skirt. I like #1 and 2 very much. The contrast with grey is soft and appealing, but I also like the sharp contrast with black in #5 and 6. It all depends on your style and taste. </p> <p>Just a tip you may want to try when wearing white footwear: Repeating the white colour somewhere on your upper half (i.e. in a scarf/shawl) might make the outfit look and feel more balanced. I often did this when my hair was dark or auburn. Now that my hair is turning white, white footwear feels very natural (= the bookending effect). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967388 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 20:14:00 +0000 Cardiff girl 1967388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well hello castle!I remember taking my daughter to see that when she was small and she was dressed as a 13th century maid.Hope you had a nice stroll. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967382 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 20:09:11 +0000 Anonymous 1967382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super outfit.

Of course jeans, but what about leggings and a long sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967369 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 19:39:26 +0000 Jane 1967369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz and Cardiff Girl. &nbsp;I am happy that the boots are casual with jeans only and here they are going earlier with DH in our local town for an early evening stroll.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967334 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 18:09:08 +0000 Cardiff girl 1967334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like those boots ,they are like hiking boots.I would suggest wearing a pair of thick socks over your tights and rolling the socks down to form a cuff effect just above the boot if you are going to wear them with a skirt.oh and the tights look better if they have some texture to them like a cable effect for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967331 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 18:02:40 +0000 Suz 1967331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are terrific boots, Jane. They're like old fashioned ski boots. Very retro and fun. I'd wear them casually with jeans and pants (or leggings, if you do that) and a puffer! It would be possible to wear them with a skirt but only a very casual skirt. Something plaid maybe. With light grey tights?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967320 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 16:37:04 +0000 Jane 1967320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Lisa P - good analysis - I don't want to be in the Heidi territory. </p> <p>Thank you Smittie. Pants, it is then. I'm happy with that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967298 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 14:47:01 +0000 Anonymous 1967298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try grey or mid-tone tights to blend the whiteness of the boots. (Oh I see that you’ve done that! I think the skirt needs to be a lighter colour, or a wooden fabric.)</p> <p>I think you should get another pair of jeans though, as these boots go better with pants. I love the brown ones and think they would look smashing with your white boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967289 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 14:28:12 +0000 Anonymous 1967289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what you've done with the black ponte pants and the grey/pinstripe pants. It has a vintage ski wear look , which is really cool . &nbsp;Not sure about wearing them without a skirt without veering into Heidi territory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967282 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 13:36:43 +0000 Jane 1967282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krish, phew, thank you for your comments. I'm feeling slightly easier about them. </p> <p>You have given me some super ideas. Thank you for your time thinking about this. I think part of the issue is that I am not used to at all lighter bottoms - the very large majority of mine are black - so your idea of a denim skirt / culottes sounds good as does roomy cargos, especially in olive green.&nbsp;</p> <p>kkards, the wide jeans look super and with black jeans looks good - that is how I wore them yesterday. I like with the cute socks.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think they could look good with this skirt - it is lighter IRL. I would need lighter legs rather than darker, but it might be an option.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967278 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 13:18:36 +0000 kkards 1967278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cute boots...not sure about how to style with skirts...but i did find some casual/denim outfit examples&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967265 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 11:40:09 +0000 krishnidoux 1967265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, these are seriously cute boots. And they look smart too! Congrats for cracking the white footwear as you say. I see you do it beautifully.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for your question, it's hard to judge when I can't see the whole person. Everybody has a different body and proportions, some people would wear it well with skirts, others better with pants or both.&nbsp;</p> <p>For what I am able to see, I find the combination white boots grey tights very very nice. I can totally imagine a pencil, slightly above-the-knee denim skirt on top, preferably in a washed out or lighter shade, and mabe possibly a bit distressed, depending on your general style and environment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also possible with those wonderful tights: a pair of sturdier, dressy shorts, bermudas or culottes (like tweed for example).&nbsp;</p> <p>Grey form fitting full-length jeans. Skinnies: tucked; bootlegs: worn over.&nbsp;</p> <p>Olive or army green roomy cargos.</p> <p>I would definitively try then with socks or faux socks sleeves popping out at the ankle, in a soft color. The faux or real sock will visually elongate the boots' neck, which might help you feel good wearing those with skirts and dresses. A look I'd try with socks on would be with tights + cropped palazzo style pants.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967260 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 11:28:14 +0000 Jane 1967260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie, actually, I really tend to agree - it might be heading too Victoriana with a dress / skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967253 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 10:49:09 +0000 jussie 1967253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm well if it were me I would wear those particular shoes with blue jeans, or those brown Cos jeans you’ve pictured. I’m not sure they’re gonna work with a skirt or dress.... but feel free to ignore me you know I’m no expert </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967247 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 10:32:14 +0000 Jessikams 1967247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not figured this out yet, so I will be watching this thread with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-boots---how-to-wear#post-1967243 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 09:44:16 +0000 Jane 1967243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers, I would very much welcome advise on how to wear these white boots. I really do want to crack the white footwear this season, so I have white pointed kitten heel boots and also now these chunky flat boots. Very comfortable, warm, good for the weekends, a bit outside of my zone in terms of style, but that isn't a bad thing!</p> <p>Can I and how can I wear them with skirts? I've tried them on with black opaques - doesn't look right - then with thicker knee high socks.&nbsp;</p> <p>May be I should ditch the idea of wearing them with skirts and get another pair of jeans - these are two pairs of jeans I have looked at in Cos. Gorgeous thick cotton, I've tried on but they seem quite bulky on my smallish frame. I would prefer white but the brown do look very good &nbsp;with my hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>All comments welcome.&nbsp; </p>
