Would You Wear White Boots?
In the 1960s Daphne had a fabulous pair of white boots which she just loved. Comfortable with a rounded toe and small chunky heel. They were stylish and made a statement with many an outfit. Sadly, they are no longer in her wardrobe and currently she is wishing that this just wasn’t the case. This is unusual for Daphne as she loves to keep her things for the longterm understanding and knowing that fashion goes in circles. Something loved yesterday that is unfashionable today can be back in tomorrow!
This Colour…..
Would you wear a pair of boots this colour? Maybe boots like this would seem too outrageous or be too attention-seeking? And would they stay clean? As Daphne know only too well that fashion goes round and round again in circles. White boots are right back in vogue and Daphne is hoping that she can find a pair quickly.
Photos – where are the boots?
Not even a photo found of the much-loved boots – but here are some modelling shots from the 60s with two fellow models!
In addition, we love the retro look – how things have changed!
Everyday life was more formal

I love wearing white boots with an all black outfit and white earrings. I have several pairs of white boots as they go with jeans, skirts, pants…so much! A very versatile piece of footwear!
Not so long ago, I purchased a pair of white ankle boots (go-go boots—haha!), with a kitten heel—very Mrs. Emma Peel from The Avengers. I adore those boots and they look so sleek and edgy.
One item I no longer have but wish I did is a 1930s-style dress that my mother actually made for me when I was in high school (the 70s). My mother was an amazing seamstress and none of the items she created looked homemade. The fabric, the detailing…exquisite. I don’t know what happened to that dress, but I wish I had kept it. I have a top from 8th grade, in excellent condition, that still fits me and I’ll wear that on occasion. I love retro!
I love white boots. I especially love my winter white boots that I wear with my winter white corduroy jeans. I prefer winter white color instead of white-white.
I simply love white boots! I have a beautiful faux fur lace up white boot that frankly stop traffic!
I was never aloud to wear white boots as a teen, but I did try on a pair at Neumann Marcus and at that moment… I had arrived!!!
I had a red wool coat by Sidwall of London. It was double breasted, with a hood edged with black imitation fur. I gave it away 32 years and still regret it. I tried “Googling” with no success. I never had a pair of white boots but have inherited some white shoes lined with fur!
I had long white boots and ankle boots in the 60s, loved ’em. I would wear them again but do not plan to buy any. What do I regret getting rid of? My Biba clothes!!
So happy you found you white boots,
Hurray! Mission accomplished !!
I remember being on a mission to find a simple white sleeveless mock turtleneck, and searched and luckily found on-line
