Trying to make these boots sexy....failing miserably!

Knee high soft brown leather boots. Totally flat

I was trying and failing to use what I have already but think I have to shop...
For a nice dinner in a nice hotel.

Size 14. Impressive boobs so nothing strapless. Its winter so nothing cold. Need tights. Age 40.

I think my periM has shot any style I had in the head (or foot...) . My brain just can't make them look nice!

I’d probably wear them with a short brown dress (this is the first suggestion on google and I think it might work with the boots) https://www.zara.com/uk/en/soft-touch-lace-short-dress-p04344804.html?v1=464424215&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=11260393417&gbraid=0AAAAADqbk7ZN-tOiOeRgPL8FUg4LjdjH9&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIouPFq7_5kAMV8ZNQBh0kLAJfEAQYASABEgKTP_D_BwE

and with black tights, a black shoulder bag and chunky gold jewellery.

They’re just not a sexy boot OP. There are lots of cool ways you could wear them but not as part of a sexy dinner outfit! Do you have another shoe to work with?

Daisydoesnt · 17/11/2025 18:47

Long boots can be very sexy, but these aren’t. Not only are they dead flat, but they are cut straight up the calf (rather than shaped) so they aren’t even going to make your legs look shapely. Doesn’t mean they aren’t a great, useful boot. But you are going to really struggle to build a sexy evening outfit around them.

This. I don’t love this style but I’d wear them with a mini dress in an autumn colour or maybe a checked mini and jumper.

They're never going to be a sexy pair of boots.

BauhausOfEliott · 17/11/2025 18:54

They’re a flat brown boot. They’re nice enough but they’re not ever going to be ‘sexy’.

ThePoliteLion · 17/11/2025 18:59

A cute A-line skirt above the knee would pep them up, plus good-looking clingy knitwear up top
Black opaque tights, yes.

They’re sexy in a horsey kinda way. I wear long flat boots all winter, but I wear them with really short skirts, nice jumpers and tights. Sexy but not too slaggy is the look I’m going for!!

amibeingaknob · 17/11/2025 19:02

Well i have similar and I think they are sexy. Do you have good legs? If so Id do a sexy mini dress with tights with them. If not (like me) Id go for something sexy that shows off the girls with them. I have this dress and I wear brown boots like yours with a brown biker jacket and the brown belt. I get compliments so I got several dresses similar. Brown Crepe Paisley Wrap Midi Dress | New Look

I feel pretty sexy in it too.

They are only going to be sexy if you have supermodel legs as they aren't a sexy boot!

Slaggy?

I think they’d look good with a tweed mini skirt suit?

Is the dinner in the same hotel that you’re staying in? If so, can’t you wear the boots in the day and then change into heels in the evening?

Are these the same boots as the green shorts post?

Have you got any nice dresses, or are you looking for ideas for one to buy?

TheApocalypticiansApprentice · 18/11/2025 07:01

A translucent midi skirt is your best bet.

But, in all honesty, they’re not ideal for a date dinner. The hotel is likely to be warm, so the the boots will make you feel much too hot while you’re eating. Your feet and calves will swell up while you’re sitting - so when you get back to your room the boots will be difficult to get off and you’ll be a mess of sweat and panic before any sexiness occurs …

Just get something cheap from Zara …

I really like those and used to have a similar pair. But for dinner? My feet and legs would be on fire I'd be so hot. And it's not like you can slip them off under the table!

Wendywooooo · 18/11/2025 09:30

Agree with the other comments, they're a nice pair of boots, but they are practical/smart and not "sexy" in the sense that they won't dress an outfit up.
