This skirt with these boots?

I have ordered this midi skirt and have a pair of Chelsea boots to go with, will this go with thick tights?
I am trousers and knitwear Monday to Thursday at work and Fridays is normally jeans and jumper but trying to get out on the Friday rut!
I have just turned 50 but do look a good few years younger.

I like the look.

thedevilinablackdress · 16/01/2021 09:17

Yep, lovely.

Plump82 · 16/01/2021 10:26

The only thing i dont like about the Chelsea boots is they're quite loose round the ankle
But I think boots with that skirt in general will look good.

I love that skirt, where is it from? I think the boots would look spot on

It was from Warehouse in the sale, but I don’t think they had many sizes left. I have ordered the 12 and 14…

I'd go for a hiking boot or chelsea boots that fit fairly close on the ankle.

Thank you, I am hoping they will be ok as I don’t want to purchase a new pair of boots just for the skirt 😀

I personally think that ankle boots with skirts look frumpy, on people of any age. It's not a look I like or get at all but I know it's very popular. I just don't think it's stylish.

Yes tighter fitting round the ankle boots and it will look good

ShyAmy333 · 20/01/2021 07:49

Definitely

I have those boots too and I think they look better casually styled. The trend now is for much chunkier ankle boots and skirts or midi dresses. I like the boots as they are classic but better styled as M&S have in the pix. Heeled long boots with a fitted skirt look better in my view if you are a bit older (not in your 20s).

I wear black socks with my chelsea boots when I'm wearing a dress, and pull them down to give a wrinked effect, that deals with the leg/boot gap.

That’s a good idea. I think I will need socks with the tights anyway as the boots might be too loose otherwise.

Knee high heeled boots always make me thing of Pretty Woman 🤣

Half the people wearing them now are too young to remember that film!

MustardMitt · 20/01/2021 22:13

I think unless you're 6 ft tall and very slim with a normally more edgy look, it'll look frumpy.

MustardMitt · 20/01/2021 22:14

Those boots are so weird looking with the wide opening.

PresentingPercy · 20/01/2021 23:43

They are not so bad worn with jeans. They take socks or thicker tights. They are just not right with a skirt.

Elsabet · 21/01/2021 17:17

@PresentingPercy
I must definitely be showing my age 🤣

I had a look around and I have seen a patent pair of lace up boots, not too chunky that was £108 or this pair half price for £54 from a local shop.

This skirt with these boots?

Those are really nice. Not patent though.

It’s Friday so old boots and new skirt combo! I think it looks ok
