The climate is starting to get chilly. Accommodating the right kind of shoes in your wardrobe is a critical decision. Boots are always a staple during this time of the year. Having a couple of essential pairs will ensure you’re ready for whatever comes your way. You might be having the question of what cuts, in terms of good shoes? Warmth and comfort probably top the list when it comes to fall/ winter footwear. It’s a win-win situation when you get trendy looking shoes. That’s what boots are, the perfect combination of style and comfort.
Style of the Shoes
Boots are versatile. They come in all different shapes and sizes, ranging from ankle boots to thigh-high boots. Just say the word, and there you have it. The heel of the shoes also plays a significant role in the style and design of the shoe. Boots offer a wide range of variety in this aspect. You can also get them customized as per your taste. Addition or reduction of a few details and you get a whole new pair of shoes.
Why do I like them?
My relationship with boots was love at first sight. Also, being a shoe fanatic, I had to have them. I still remember the day when I got my first ever pair of boots. The feeling was sublime. I feel empowered when I put boots on. One can always find a pair of boots that speaks to them the most. This feeling is uncommon with most kinds of shoes.
“I’ve always liked boots. I think it’s better to wear a boot, not a shoe”.
Where can you wear them?
Boots are suitable for multiple occasions. You can wear them anywhere, to work, school, or a night out with friends. Boots are the ideal choice in terms of footwear during the fall and winter season. They keep you warm.
“Cowboy boots give you an attitude. They’re euphoric”. –Tyler Beard
Why should you invest in them?
Boots are quite durable. You can reuse them as many times as you like. They’re low maintenance shoes. You can look polished by just throwing in some boots with your outfit. Boots are the way to go when you want to look like you did take efforts and put thought into your look. Apart from looks, boots can protect you from minor accidents and sharp objects as well.
Looks to create
You can wear them with jeans, skirts, and even dresses. You can look as casual or as formal as you want with these shoes. Here are some looks I created with the latest additions in my shoe collection. As far as hair looks are concerned, you can be playful and go crazy with them. The makeup look should be dependent on the factors:
- the occasion
- your mood
Bright coloured and/or embellished boots should be the focal point of your look. They demand to be the statement piece of the whole ensemble. While styling such shoes, keep it simple with the outfit. Incorporate the colour of the shoes in your outfit or your makeup. You can experiment with complementing colours or shades. Looking excessive is the last thing you want. Just keep my tips in mind, and you’re good to go.
When styling a basic pair, you get the liberty to play with print. You can experiment with graphic shirts and crop tops, even T-shirt dresses. Makeup looks suggested: no makeup/natural makeup/ duie makeup.
Styling stiletto boots are similar to styling stiletto shoes. The only difference is, here you can incorporate casual clothing as well. Makeup can be natural or bold; it’s only a matter of preference.
