Was given these boots for Xmas, that are not my normal style, so could I have some suggestions what to wear them with please. Would it be skinny jeans only? m.houseoffraser.co.uk/Linea+Taplow+leather+riding+boots/228230948,default,pd.html

Knne length skirt, casual dress. I dont like the knee high boots tucked into skinnies look tbh but many do.

Knee length a-line button through denim skirt?

I love those boots.

I'd wear with thick tights and a dress / skirt

I've not worn them yet as I was unsure if they would look ok with a dress or skirt.

You could look at the TheMomEdit blog for some inspiration. The blog now has a few contributors of different heights/sizes/styles so it's interesting to see how different people style things and I've seen them all in longer boots.

Having said that, I have similar boots which I never wear. I don't really like the 70s vibe on me - although I love it on others, sadly long skirts do nothing for me. However I wear mine, they just make me feel too mumsy (I'm in denial - of course, I am probably very mumsy anyway!). So I'd take a look at Pinterest and some blogs but unless you're likely to try any of the looks in real life, I'd suggest you resell them and buy something you love instead. Sorry it's a bit Konmari but if you don't love them, move them on and make space for shoes you love and will wear all the time!

Kath I would normally ask for something to be exchanged but dd2 18 had saved up and bought me these boots so I am going to find something to wear them and I don't dislike them just unsure how to style them

Thats very sweet of yor dd :) I think you will find quite a few things that look good with them.

kathrunneth · 06/01/2016 23:36

I really like them too Donge13 (just not on me). That's so sweet of her - hope you find some wonderful new looks for them. Enjoy!

They're lovely! I'd wear them with everything. Try them with what you already have in your wardrobe with either thick back or dark brown tights. Definitely with skinnies, blue, black or grey would all look good. Your DD is thoughtful with good taste, could she train my DH?!

SparePantsAndLego · 06/01/2016 23:51

black not back!

I have some similar ones and the honest answer is I find them so comfortable, warm, sturdy and water proof that I wear them with whatever I can get away with! Often skinny jeans tucked in to the boots - I think it looks good (awaits judgement) or with tights and a skirt or shorter length dress. Leggings and a long top too!

And definitely nice big thick socks if you have the room in them! The
