Can I wear a skirt with ankle boots?

I haven't owned a pair of ankle boots since about 1983

I have no idea - bought them to go with jeans etc but is it allowed to wear them with skirts?

They have a chunky heel, round toe, and they come up past the ankle (ie they are not shoots)

uh, no,I don't think it looks good

aGalChangedHerName · 07/11/2008 16:11

Nope i wouldn't say so. Sorry

No.

Unless you are all of the below:

Very young
Very attractive in a "that girl could wear a bin bag and look good" kinda way
You are incredibly trendy and cool
Wearing with an indecently short skirt so nobody notices your footwear

See that's what I thought too

I have seen some youngsters with mini skirts and ankle boots - looking good - but then they are about 19.

I will wear 'em with my jeans.

Ewe, I was once young, but I have never been any of the other things on your list

Hearing you loud and clear!

think they would look okay on a long skirt (so no gap between the hem and the start of the boot) or perhaps very short tight skirt worn with thick woolen tights. But boden/white stuff style knee length skirt NO WAY

doggiesayswoof · 07/11/2008 16:19

I was thinking of short skirt. But on reflection I can't really get away with skirts that short any more anyway.

Have you got any shoe boots or knee high boots you could wear instead?

You're only 35, am sure you can still do short skirts!

No it makes your legs look like tree trunks.

This is best avoided.

with a long skirt and thick tights.

doggiesayswoof · 07/11/2008 16:57

Ewe I do have some nice knee high boots - wear them with skirts a lot.

I am (just) 36 and have wobbly thighs

Babyonboard - yep I get the tree trunk thing. Not good.

i wear my ankle boots with knee length dresses/ skirts. i am 35 and a size 16 i do wear them with very thick tights, though

Ronaldinhio · 07/11/2008 19:32

you can wear those shoe boot things sucessfully or those very loose ankle boots but otherwise not i fear

HaventSleptForAYear · 07/11/2008 20:10

ooh glad you all said this.

It was my intuition too.

A lady in a shoe shop tried to sell me some telling me they would go with skirts but I was not convinced.

I went for knee-high black with buckles instead.

But now haven't yet worn THEM either because I don't know what to wear them with - am crap with new stuff!
