Hmmmm jeans? A skirt? Either long or short skirts. I want a pair of knee high boots, I brought some off ebay but they got lost so I didn't end up getting them :(
But yes I'd wear jeans or skirts, not sure on colours though, anything that compliments the colour of the boots I guess

depending on the lenght of the boots depends on what to wear with them try looking in the fashion websites for ideas, cleo, marieclaire, womensweekly usually have fashion advice.

yeah jeans skirts or dresses ....just depends you might find one dress/skirt looks great with the boots and another wont.
i just dont reccomend shorts! i see girls in the club with short shorts and knee high's and they think they got it but uhm they are so mislead!

I only have boots at the moment. But I dont wear skirts/dresses, just pants, and my boots are black, so they go with just about everything I have. They are great for the cooler months, and when I take the kids to school if there are puddles LOL.
I really need to go shoe shopping, but I have trouble finding comfy shoes I like.

If your boots are calf length then you'd get away with wearing a below the knee skirt or just above the knee skirt. I would go for a more a-lined skirt and a bit heavier material than a light cotton. If they are brown you could go for black, beige, camel or a similar brown colour.
You could also wear them with jeans either under the jeans or tucked it but the tucked in look looks good with more a slim fit type of jean than a wide legged jean.
If you go for a dress, then it definitely needs to be knee length and I'd wear pantyhose with the dress or skirt.
Then if you're adventurous in the bedroom... just the boots, some frilly knickers and maybe a feather boa! ;) Hubby would be... :d:

I think you can wear nearly anything with boots...as long as it isn't shorts...I love boots...I have a couple of pairs but I dont much chance to wear them...

I have a black pair of boots (with a heal because of being vertically challenged) and I wear long pants and jeans all through winter. The boots go on my feet every time I go out. I paid a bit for them (more than usual) and they are the most comfortable thing I've got. I haven't worn mine with a skirt yet because I don't like freezing my butt off, but I think I could wear them with one skirt that I've got.
If they are comfortable, you won't take them off!!!!!! Go on, go and get them on Monday!! The show us a pic please?

I'm jealous...I'd love a new pair of boots...but I dont go for the knee high ones...my bloody legs are too short!

5littleducks - I never use to wear them either, now I don't stay out of them in winter.
Telori - Um short legs! Mine are short. Very short. Just don't get knee high ones. Mine are about half way up the leg. Leather, soft, comfortable, good high heel and they are just the best thing I've ever worn on my feet. I don't know why I hadn't tried on the more expensive ones before. I'd always look at under $100 ones but these were about $150 from an shoe boutique. The lady was sooooo nice, she gave them to me for $125, just because she liked me. I was shitting myself thinking OMG that's a bloody lot of money for shoes, but I wear them every time I go out in winter. Well worth the money. I'm so happy with them! Give it a go. Go on, try some on.

Hahaha Bev...I bought the nicest pair of brown boots, low heels so I could wear them around as well as out. They were leather but suede around the ankle...I loved them...paid $140 for them on special...but I wore them to death...after about 10 years and many repolishings the heels fell off...I still wore them...then the soles feel off...I now have them in the back of the car til I get enough courage to take them into the place where they fix boots...and ask them to fix them for me...I think they will laugh at me! but I want them back!....

I too have been thinking of getting some boots but not sure what to wear with them. I've never had boots, unless you count the knee high white ones I had as a kid LMAO LMAO I've been looking on Ebay and there are some gorgeous ones on there but I have found a really nice pair in a shoe shop, really soft leather and fairly low heel for $125 on special might go and have another look and actually try them on:jump:

I would wear them with jeans and trousers. I only wear knee high boots with dresses and skirts but that is just me. Boots are such a classic part of a wardrobe these days - so what are you waiting for!

I can't remember what brand but there at Williams. There not the ones in the picture, the ones I liked doesn't have a pointy toe and the heel is lower. They were originally $150 I think reduced to $125 I was hoping they were going to be reduced by a bit more than that but if they are really comfy and I get the wear out of them I wouldn't mind so much. :D

You go girl its not like we dont deserve to get something we like sometimes to and boots go with everything they can look casual or sexy no matter what the heel. Lots of luck.

Teena - you will have to wear them on 'our' day. I want to see them please.
5 - Men don't have much taste. I'm being very polite here. I really think that they have no taste, but I will give some of the them doubt. Don't listen to him. Dress for yourself.
Can't wait to see your boots.
