How I have boots on the brain. I've never owned a pair. I'd like to get one pair of tall boots that are versatile (can dress down for casual wear or dress up for work). They need to be flat (or close to flat - I could probably handle a low wedge). Boots are appealing to me for (sadly) practical reasons - never have to worry about matching socks to shoes/trousers or not wearing socks, easier to walk in than pumps, etc. For work, when traveling for meetings I have seen co-workers wear boots with skirts or pants and a nice top, and that's acceptable. It's not a super conservative industry.
What style would be most versatile, i.e. work for jeans, pants, skirts. Most versatile color: brown or black? Riding boots? Slouch boots?
And for those of you with boots, does that mean you have to buy pants specifically to wear with the boots? I have mostly trouser-cut pants in my wardrobe. Nothing skinny (because I don't like the shape of my legs which are sort of bowed). Though I did buy a pair of dark wash stretch skinny jeans from BR this past weekend because it was my size, and on final clearance for $17.
Oh and one last question - do people typically only wear boots in the fall/winter?
