Fashion speaks and it speaks loudly because the clothes and shoes you wear are the first impression people have of you. There's a lot of discussion today about what is age appropriate because fashion used to be more delimiting as to what younger women versus maturing women should wear. Designers reflected age in the styling but then a funny thing happened on the way to high couture. The most beautiful, famous and talented women in the world aged, and they refused to dress like "old ladies."
What does this have to do with boots? When the clothing styles were updated for women of all ages, footwear had to be updated too. This set off a whirlwind of new styles that were sometimes chic and elegant and sometimes bohemian and daring. Boots can be both, so it's not surprising that the trend for the last couple of years has been to design stunning boots that can be worn equally well by the 25 year old versus the 55 year old with style.
Forget Your Age...
If any style proves that age really is in the mind, it's the new boots and especially the booties. Great names in the fashion world are introducing boots and booties that can't help but make you smile and imagine what they would look like on your own feet. There's something for everyone, and you can pick the message you want to send about your personal philosophy on aging. In fact, slip on a pair of Proenza Schouler open-toe lattice booties with your Emelio Pucci batik-pattern summer dress and you are ageless.
When designers like Alexander Wang and Givenchy designed their collections of booties, you can bet they were not thinking of a women's age. They were thinking of what enhances a woman's beauty and sense of empowerment. Extending the leg line, altering the stance, and adding to height are results that give boots their power.
Boots can be worn with everything and that is yet another feature that has made them ageless. You can wear them with a Thakoon jumpsuit, a Calvin Klein short party dress, a Proenza Schuler summer dress or a Chloe vintage shirtwaist dress for example. You can look fabulous no matter how young or old you are after putting on the glamorous Thakoon suede lace-up bootie or women's cowboy boots without compromising your style and class !

With this kind of footwear designed for the young and the mellowed, any woman can make a statement about confident sexuality, appreciation for beauty, an ageless approach to life in general, and an unwillingness to let only the young have fashion fun. Over 50? That only means it's time to get a little bolder and not a little older. Go for the boots because life is simply too short not to.
