Give Fall the Boot!

September 10, 2009

Boots are this season’s must have and you wouldn’t dare live without! Not only do boots keep your tootsies warm into winter, you can easily create an eye catching look by pairing them with everything from t-shirts to dresses!

Boots are so big this fall that I had to narrow down the styles that I could cover in this little blog. The truth is, you can wear almost any style and be right in sync! Regardless of the style, you'll see a lot of boots with buckles, suede and roll-over tops, just a few details to make them unique! Here a few worth trying!!

Women's

Ankle Booties: A trend we saw last fall is here to stay! This is one of those shoes that may not be for everyone. Pair these with skinny jeans or a dress with tights. It plays out best on people with little feet and proportionate bodies. Done incorrectly and you can wind up looking like a holiday elf! (Not Rated)

Over the Knee Boots: I’m still a little nervous to see how these play out in realty! On the runway with models who have 10 inch round legs that are 10 feet long, they can be quite appealing. The key is to create a sleek legging-like look. If you are worried that you’ll look more trampy than trendy – avoid a lot of embellishments like studs or any sort of bling. These leggy fashion boots are showy enough, so keep them simple. (Joie)

Cowboy Boots/Biker Boots: Although these aren’t at all the same type of boot, I paired them together because both are boots that require a certain personality or attitude to look right. Wear either boot with confidence and only if they feel like you. Opt for ones that are lighter in appearance and weight to keep them from looking overwhelming or making you feel like you gained a few. Choose a style that has some feminine flair to it. If you want to try either out for style and don’t see yourself as a biker or a cowboy in the future, buy these boots on sale or at a discount store. (Steve Madden)

Slouchy Boots: With all the 80’s hype in clothing and accessories, these boots easily stroll right into the mix! Wear your slouchy boots with skinny jeans, tights or even a full skirt! You need contrast to make them stand out. I love slouchy boots in grey suede or any soft neutral color. These are flats so you'd almost imagine them to feel like modern-day super-hero slippers!
