That girl has the most beautiful hands.....tapered and feminine.
The rest of her is pretty nice, too.

I remember Beatle boots. They’re not half bad if they’re a good fit. And they did look snazzy with some of the better men’s fashions of the time, such as polyester Nehru jackets and Star Trek sideburns.
And this was a great secret of men’s fashions that has been forgotten. Men wore fashions, and needed to wear fashions, because women’s fashions were fantastic.
Bright colors and contrasting colors, patterns and materials, miniskirts, elaborate and stylish footwear, serious hair styling, etc. Think of the “alien women of Star Trek”. Ordinary men’s clothing looked as drab next to it as dirty overalls.
And it was part of the whole Mod/Googie/Space Age/Atomic Age/Bachelor Pad/Populuxe art, architecture, interior and exterior design, technology and music. Which was stupendous, and only failed because much of the materials used weren’t durable enough, and the creativity petered out.
This turned into the rather cruddy 1970s styles, lost its futurism and idealism, like the flower children who turned into dirty, stinky Hippies, who then became Yuppies, and utilitarianism replaced style.
Pity, it was great while it lasted.

When we went to Russia in 2007 a lot of the younger men wore boots with such pointy toes that they almost curled up.
Everyone wore boots and some of the styles were so flamboyant that I did a page in my sketch book of just boots.

And Gerry Anderson’s U.F.O. series, Laugh-In, the Smothers Brothers, and movies like Cactus Flower, Modesty Blaise, Candy, Blow Up, and the early psychedelic period, as depicted by Hollywood.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the point of the heels on the cowboy boots, to make them snag in the stirrup well? Not a fashion statement, but the utiltity of the boot!
