I think I might know the answer to this..but I love these boots however I am 48! I have bright orange hair and would only wear them with black leggings and very long black tops. Would they be a mistake? Thanks for your advice.

I mean, they're awful, seriously, but wear them if you like them.

Difficult to pull off... but if you love them go for it. Would they look better with a long black skirt? Leggings IMO are only ever pulled off well by a minority.

Eeeek. If you are a young looking 48. With black outfit they'd look very rock or biker chick. So if you like that look then perhaps.

I don't think they'd be a mistake at all! Mind you saying that I have a pair of scarlet suede knee-high boots that I've never worn because I simply don't have the confidence.

If you are 48 and have orange hair you have the balls personality to pull off anything

Go for it. Lovely boots, though not for me personally. Ignore the age thang.

Not sure these are great boots whether you or 26 or 46. Just my opinion though.
