Is this a dated look?

[EightAmendment]

for a 51 year old?

Am I looking at the picture wrong?

It looks very much to me like the model is wearing high heeled boots? Like, with a thin heel?

But you then say you would not wear it with high heeled boots, but but doc martens or similar?

Cargos with doc martens is a very common look (I like it). And the blazer is also fine.

The high heels in the picture I find a bit strange.

I bought some trousers like this from Zara...

I'm no fashionista but for me either change boots to chunky or high top trainers or platform trainers. Or roll down the trousers and keep the boots. 🥾

Not dated at all- blazer + loose casual trouser is v current. I like the rolled up legs too.

Heeled boots would be a no for me… not current at all… flat shoes or trainers would be my preference.

I feel like the sad truth is anybody moderately tall and slender can get away with almost anything and make it work!😁

A great basic look!
Possible tweaks:
Roll up sleeves of an oversize blazer
Have an interesting top showing underneath (cuff with a lace details or something)
Ankle boots or Doc Martens -- not long or mid-height boots under trousers
Maybe a dark colour for the inside layer, paler colours for the blazer and trousers (yes even in autumn/winter)

I was going to say the same thing about making your legs look shorter and I wouldn’t wear cargo trousers with heels only flat shoes or trainers.

The pants need pockets or they’re not cargos. And need to be a very relaxed fit.

Chunky lug soles boots have had their moment and are now quite out.

I think we are past anything being dated; everything old is new again.

That outfit is cool but Amelia Earhart probably wore it 100 years ago.

I feel like that bag would be nicer if it were brown and I agree with the flat boot comments. Not dated though.

@Lostsadandconfused think you're right.

tbh the dressier boots are probably slightly more "current" when paired with something as relaxed as cargos.

Found them! Bargain too!

The boots are dated. Everything else is pretty classic.

How about these boots? Not that I can afford them
