#1. Wear them with cropped or ankle length pants and jeans. Skinnies or kick-flare preferred over bells and bootcuts.
#2. Try them with a midi or calf length hem, dresses preferred. Most skirts just look like Marion Cunningham with sneakers if you are over 40.
#3. Go Monochromatic. It helps take the ingenue out of the look.
#4. Go with a striped top. They just work.
