Women 50+ are crazy in love with boots, ankle boots and booties.

Can’t stop browsing boot sales online?

Even celebs are hooked.

Here are my top 9 updates to playing footsie like a fashion pro:

Roll the hem up one inch in a casual way twice.

Keep the rolls a little messy and not uniformly matched.

(A too-neat roll looks dorky and a triple or quadruple roll is too bulky.)

For a little edge, DIY and leave the edge raw.

Aim for a slight break at the top of the foot.

Wear or bring the boots with you to the tailor.
