In fact, since there's always been a version of this floating around I'd say it's a pretty classic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635284 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 11:15:23 +0000 Claudia 635284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look. My personal preference for myself is perforated, and/or lighter color neutral boots and booties for spring/summer outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635263 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 09:46:52 +0000 Irene 635263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with light boots like eveyrone said. It doesn't make sense in my city at all, so that when I see people sporting that look I cringe, but that's because when it is finally the time to wear shorts and skirts with bare legs, your feet need some airing. This is Spain, after all. I can see how you would find boots comfier than sandals if it's cold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635257 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 09:35:01 +0000 Deborah 635257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635252 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 07:44:09 +0000 Scarlet 635252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>just adding after reading the other comments that I like the way black boots look too on bare legs and am trying to be brave enough to carry that off myself. I am expecting a bit of skepticism to it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635247 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 07:12:22 +0000 Sylvie 635247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look but I've never been able to pull it off well. If it's warm enough for bare legs, I'm going to sweat in my boots. Dripping calf sweat= icky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635230 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 05:34:41 +0000 CocoLion 635230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a younger, trendier look so black tall traditional boots with bare legs would look weird to me. I think this look requires booties or an edgier type of boot than a classic boot.</p> <p>It's something I don't partake in due to my climate. It feels either hot or cold here, not the long in-between transitional weather you can get in a coastal climate. When I lived in LA I wore combat or moto boots with a frayed midi or knee length skirt and wife beater, this was one of my signature looks back in the early 00s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635225 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 05:21:16 +0000 fern 635225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love -<br /> I think of bare-legged boots as transitional here too, as Jonesy said, but Spring lasts forever in the PNW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635212 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 04:49:25 +0000 AJ 635212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For warmer weather, I prefer bare legs with boots that are shorter: mid calf or lower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635198 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 04:14:04 +0000 Scarlet 635198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is officially sanctioned by the fashion gods and just way too practical for my life not to indulge in. Rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635187 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 03:57:31 +0000 Beth Ann 635187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can absolutely wear this look, and you're right that it fits your climate and environment. I don't think it works for everyone, but it definitely does for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635103 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:58:46 +0000 kellygirl 635103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635102 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:58:41 +0000 Diana 635102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I adore the look. All kinds of boots, black, tan, tall, short, whatever but my favorites are the mid-calf ones. </p> <p>Seriously. Skirt+bare legs+boots is my most favorite look in the whole world. I wish it was practical year round.</p> <p>ETA: Photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635095 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:56:09 +0000 Mo 635095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A yay from me in general, but as an over 40, with shorts becomes dicey I think. I take it on an outfit by outfit basis, really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635094 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:55:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 635094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love boots with bare legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635084 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:46:00 +0000 Janet 635084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look, and I will occasionally indulge in it myself, even if I don't have the most fab legs. The main reason I don't more often is because we have such short transitional seasons here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635067 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:35:07 +0000 rae 635067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You already know my answer... clearly, I could not care less about them being light colored... I guess my only requirement is that they flatter the legs, vague as that sounds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635065 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:33:09 +0000 Anonymous 635065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look. Still kicking myself years later for not buying a pair of Jessica Simpson Rosanna leather cowboy boots. They would've been awesome with bare legs. I wore my natural colored Frye Cindy slouch boots with a dress when it was a bit cooler ... It seemed to work, but in the middle of summer they'll be too high. I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635064 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:31:26 +0000 Traci 635064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as long as the contrast is relatively low. Really for me that just means no black boots with bare legs. I rationalize that chocolate brown is even ok bc it bookends w my hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635061 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:28:09 +0000 Sveta 635061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like boots with bare legs if they are light color and fabrication - or bright color. Yay from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yo-boots-and-bare-legs#post-635059 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:26:27 +0000 catgirl 635059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Am starting my own abbreviation here, YO: Your Opinion. </p> <p>I have gotten some comments regarding poison-eye for boots with bare legs. However, they are a perfect solution for my summer temps, and allow me to use my boot wardrobe year round. </p> <p>What's your feeling? When are you okay with bare legs and boots? Examples welcomed! Here are some of my inspirations, even not being a Sundance kind of gal:</p> <p><a href="http://www.sundancecatalog.com/category/womens+clothing/womens+skirts.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.sundancecatalog.com.....+skirts.do</a> </p>
