Penelope Chilvers tassel boots

I have lusted after these for many years and my DH recently bought these for me for a wedding anniversary.

I've lost some weight recently so they were extra special as they wouldn't have zipped up previously.

However I am yet to wear them as I don't know what to wear them with.

I am inner city so they look too country with a Barbour jacket which is what I have seen everyone wearing them with when I google. Although I love that look it just wouldn't sit right where I live.

Can anyone help me style these so I can wear them please.

I'm a 14. Heavy on top, skinner on the bottom.

Open to any suggestions.

And I am 44 if that makes a difference.

Me and Em have a nice black boucle mini skirt in at the moment.
Any simple jumper will go

I think you could wear them with lots of different outfits. I had a similar pair (not as nice!) and they looked good with jumper dresses or skirts and a jumper. Kind of casual and oversized on top - which I think would suit your body shape as you can show off your slimmer bottom half. Any long length smart coat would work over the top. Congrats on getting your dream boots!

What colour dresses and tights?

That skirt is lovely. I have one similar but not as expensive or nice!

Does black with brown go? What colour tights? I'm normally good with colours but I just can't style these boots!

Thank you.

I am just struggling with what colours will match with them.

It's like a mental block for these boots Blush

Skirt and a jumper is a good shout I'd wear that combination definitely.

What colour skirt and what colour tights and top?

I’d go for the black skirt, black opaque tights ( say 50d velvet from JL) with a simple loosish jumper in black, cream, brown or camel depending on your colouring.
Different textures of black always looks good and is easy to pull off

Have a look on the Holland Cooper website for ideas - they're sort of urban styled country. They're riding boots so while you don't need a 20 year old wax barbour to wear with them, a plaid fitted coat would look fab with a dress or mini?

Pinkpinkplonk · 08/11/2023 21:15

A take on the Me and Em ‘Merino Cashmere Cable Crop jumper’ would work.( with the skirt I mentioned upthread)
I think Other stories have some quite nice ones at the moment.
They’re quite outdoorsy boots so need a good glamorous winter look!

Ive ordered a dark drown faux leather skirt from vinted today.

I didn't see the other suggestions until just now.

Will that look nice with black tights and maybe a black or karkie green jumper or maybe a cream or dark beige one?

Thank you for all these suggestions ♥️

Nice!
with your brown skirt I’d go for brown tights that match the boots/ skirt so your bottom half is all the same colour, then any jumper will go.

Thank you 🤩
