Tall boots and full length trousers are music to my ears. I like wearing cropped bottoms and short boots but tall boots and full leg coverage are my personal preference. And the lack of athleisure, well that can't come fast enough. I was beginning to think that soon all I'm going to see are people wearing is PJ's everyday. After all, I don't know what style of clothing is even more casual than gym clothes and lounge wear except for PJ's.
And also, thank you so much for making up this board -- I am going to study it! So far I noted a lot of glen plaids (yay!) and some luxe fabrics, the belting you mentioned.
This is a great news for me. I have only four things on my fall/winter shopping list: knee high boots, pant suit, dress and chain handle shoulder bag. But it seems that I am on trend
I love seeing all the new ideas this time of year. Thanks for distilling down some essentials! I feel like the 70's dressy vibe that started maybe with Gucci has made it's way into everything and I love it!
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....). I also noticed the tall boots plus cropped flares seems to be a thing. I am going to try more skirts and dresses plus tall boots this fall. I think I have some good items; they just need more air time!
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.
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.
I LOVE the posts you do on trends! What a wonderful teaser!
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.
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.
I am so happy to hear about full length pants- I like the warmth when it is cold out. And tall boots. And hopefully I'll finally find some dresses and a skirt or two.
Thanks for the analysis.
A huge thank you Angie for all the hard work you put in and the wisdom you so graciously share. I love fall/winter, but where I live it's a very short lived season. However, in February when we actually had real rain I spontaneously purchased a pair of tall weatherproof boots. I didn't get to wear them much but they are super cozy and I love them! Can't wait to work them into my wardrobe in the upcoming months. And I am looking forward to your F/W post next month
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 . . .
And...now I've been wasting a half hour poking around online looking at tall boots. 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.
