I just went to jeanstraps.com and i have to say that those things look hideous. How in the world do you get the velcro in the right place? and once its there aren’t they stuck? Because I have expensive jeans, I would rather have something like stirrup pants or something detachable.

Great outfits but I have to agree the outfits although stylish might not translate to all ages and silhouettes.It is hard for me to wear leggings with a blazer.

‘I just found a great product for keeping your jeans tucked into boots called Jean Straps (http://jeanstraps.com). They are super cute, super cheap, removable stirrups that attach with velcro, so you can’t even tell they are there (no bulky metal). I’ve been wearing mine for weeks and the velcro actually becomes stronger with washing. ‘

Would still love to see your recommendations for riding boots over jeans for the 40 and up set, done in an age appropriate way. Any chance. We still have alot of winter.
Could you translate that look for us….please.

I’m really struggling with this. I want to wear the boots over my jeans, but trying to do it in an age-appropriate way. And I am not one to wear voluminous tops b/c of my chest. I feel I’m better in tailored pieces. I usually wear cashmere sweaters in the winter.

Would love to see the boot over jeans done with tops that would be
less trendy and for other age groups.

I am 43 and stand 5′6″ and weigh 125 pounds – I would wear either one of these outfits. It isn’t like a whole lot of skin is showing. I would however, remove the bubble gum size beads and bag from the outfit on the right. Perhaps a skinny multicolored scarf and leather bag.

The boots are fine for all ages. And boots over jeans too!! But, the entire outfits don’t work for late-30’s and on because the one with the slim jacket is with leggings and the other is with a trendy top and vest. I’m not averse to gals at any age wearing the skinny jeans as long as they can pull them off. Anything that is too trendy (leggings, little vests and big tops) look like we’re trying too hard so that’s why I mentioned the age-appropriateness of the outfits.

Well,..that’s fine…but what about those over their mid 30’s..???? are the riding boots not age appropiate???!?..Hmmmm. ..I(41!:-(()love to wear them a lot!!!Basically with dark monochrome printed flowy calf/knee length chiffon skirts-or plain dark A line corduroy and jean skirts. But love them with dark brown wrapdresses, or dark (black/brown/indigo)7/8 cuffed trousers/jean, too(more age appropiete than to tuck in!)…Just for your refference, mine are a sort of very dark brown coloured (meant, the boots..:-)

Does the boots over jeans style work only for 20-30 year olds?
