I love to wear my closed toe shoes on nice fall days though. There's a short window of opportunity here where I can wear my shoes without carrying them separately in a bag due to snow! :-). I get to wear my boots daily between November and the end of April without a break. unfrumped on "With the summer ending... when do you start wearing your boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-the-summer-ending-when-do-you-start-wearing-your-boots/page/2#post-1571231 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 23:03:21 +0000 unfrumped 1571231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it feels most right when temps get below 70, which is coming soon, in about a week or so, but I don't put too fine a point on it. I have some trousers that work best with ankle boots (worn long) and some transition-season light sweaters or long-sleeved blouses, so that doesn't scream "changing to boots," so I'll am wearing them before I break out the opaque black tights.

I wore them this week, as a matter of fact, and our temps haven't been low to speak of. It's just a little cooler than Summer.

Boots are hot and heavy in my mind.   tulle on "With the summer ending... when do you start wearing your boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-the-summer-ending-when-do-you-start-wearing-your-boots#post-1571039 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:53:05 +0000 tulle 1571039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As soon as a few leaves start falling, making that wonderful papery sound underfoot, I bring out the boots.

Which, to me, is the silver lining on a bad summer :). nicoleb on "With the summer ending... when do you start wearing your boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-the-summer-ending-when-do-you-start-wearing-your-boots#post-411872 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 15:51:12 +0000 nicoleb 411872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've already been wearing mine!

September will be another hot month for us.

Summer ending is a distant dream. Boots. . . what are boots? I can't remember.

When there is a chance of snow and my feet are frosty in shoes. I have sheepskin lining in my boots though so it has to be cold enough for that...

That is summer, no way am I going to wear boots in that nice a temperature! My feet won't be happy. I don't know an exact number, but somewhere around 12 Celcius makes more sense to me. That is about 54 F Vildy on "With the summer ending... when do you start wearing your boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-the-summer-ending-when-do-you-start-wearing-your-boots#post-411721 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 12:01:29 +0000 Vildy 411721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sometimes people just have to wear weather-appropriate clothes for their internal weather: they are generally too hot or too cold. And they've already learned to deal with inquiring glances or teasing. Otherwise, I think a good rule of thumb is to wear the boots when you intuit that people won't think you don't know who the president is, either and won't worry that you will appear without your pants next. IOW, if it's not so outrageous a choice that people will fear you're demented.

Here, in the fall, it gets cooler at night before the daytime highs really start dropping, so I'll also pull out boots on cooler evenings even if it's still above 70 during the day.

Below 68ish and boots are fair game. With the cool summer we've had I haven't really stopped wearing them, but my knee high boots haven't been worn since spring. I wore a mid-calf slouchy pair last week, actually And I have a light colored pair that I wear almost exclusively in spring/summer.

Which isn't very soon. The high is 107 with thunderstorms today (so it will be hot AND humid). Ugh. But the extended forecast says we have a couple days with predicted highs in the 80s about two weeks away! I'm THRILLED! I'll probably start wearing my booties again once highs are in the 80s, and bring out the taller boots once highs are in the 70s. If I waited for highs in the 60s I would only be able to wear my boots in January and February Lisa on "With the summer ending... when do you start wearing your boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-the-summer-ending-when-do-you-start-wearing-your-boots#post-411379 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:25:52 +0000 Lisa 411379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm on team always cold feet and live in NJ. I wear boots under boot cut jeans year round in a/c conditions. I wear: browns, taupes, fawn, and other lighter colors in the summer months. The black one's I wear under bootcut jeans in the summer on rainy days. My cowboy boots are great for warmer weather. I break out tall boots tucked into skinnies on cooler days (75 or less) starting Sept 1 regardless of color. I keep the hose sheer or printed, or a bare leg. By October I'm favoring opaque hose.

Yes, I love Uggs. And never owned any, just a knockoff and they weren't nearly Uggly enough to suit me. By extension, I have worn ankle boots all summer and not the first summer, either. Strangely, I don't understand the sandals that are bare except for looking like ankle gloves. As for breaking out knee boots, I have worn a faux suede perfed camel pair already and we've had a real hot summer. Otherwise, I look for a combination of how the air feels and days when the light is grayer or different. chewyspaghetti on "With the summer ending... when do you start wearing your boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-the-summer-ending-when-do-you-start-wearing-your-boots#post-411324 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 15:44:39 +0000 chewyspaghetti 411324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh gosh, not for months for me.

I'm sure it will still be 90 degrees here in Atlanta but I don't care. The weather doesn't really get cold here until November and I don't want to wait that long.

Here in FL that may be 70 degrees. In Tahoe probably not until 50 or so. It's all relative . . . but for me As Soon As Possible this year!!

I tend to make it at the last possible moment wich leaves out some cool outfits that I might be wearing but don't. I try to start wearing them by October and that is only because I'm on Canada and the weather alows it. In Portugal it would be something for November, maybe.

In September we hope to have a late summer, somewhere in October/November the weather will change and it is time to pull the boots out.
