Boots are Hot, but if worn incorrectly they can cross the ‘Hot’ lines into the dreadful world of ‘skankiness’. This season we’ve been greeted with an assortment of styles and trends in boots. Always a footwear favorite, we’re delighted to choose from a variety of boot styles, from the over-the-knee boot to the most recent trend, the rugged, but oddly feminine, combat boot.
Consider these tips to ensure that your boots add boldness instead of trashiness to your look.
Dress Up A Casual Look
When paired with jeans and a tee, boots can be worn for a more casual look. It’s like the best of both worlds. You’re dressing up a super casual look and dressing down a hot pair of dressy boots, thus creating an effortless stylish look.
Bold Sophistication
Some people still consider over the knee boots too daring and risqué. Maybe because if worn with the wrong attire, it looks as if you should be hitting a stripper pole as opposed to a night out with the girls. Still, over the knee boots are versatile and can be worn with even the most sophisticated attire to create an edgier look.
Red Carpet Glam
Who says elegant dresses have to be paired with elegant footwear? Although this look can be tricky to pull off, it can be done to add a different flair to red carpet attire. Yeah, I know maybe you won’t be hitting up any AMA’s anytime soon, but for those events when ‘red carpet’ attire is required, if you’re feeling bold, ditch the usual pumps and replace them with a hot pair of booties or even, knee boots.
Boots & Blazers
There aren’t too many items that don’t go well with blazers. Adding a blazer to your look can tone down a bold shoe. Paired with everything from minis to skinny jeans, blazers and boots are a timeless fashion favorite.
Add A Feminine Flair To Combat Boots
One of the hottest trends of the season, combat boots have made their way past the runways and into the closets of many everyday women. Somewhat rugged, these boots can still create a feminine flair when worn with dresses or even skinny jeans and complimentary accessories.
Boots & Skinny Jeans/Pants
Skinny jeans or pants paired with boots creates a chic, Hot look. Wearing an oversized or loose fitting shirt tones down the sexiness a bit and creates a more chic look. From plaid shirts to loose fitting cardigans and sweaters, this look is definitely versatile.
The Hot Allure of Boots & Trench Coats
When the weather is cool but calls for you to be outside the majority of the time, whatever you’re rocking underneath your coat may go un-noticed. For this reason, you must ensure that your outerwear exudes style. The right trench coat and boots demonstrate style even in the cold weather.
Tights! Tights! Tights!
Tights can be a pair of booties’ best friends when the weather cools down. Instead of putting away your booties, add a pair of tights. The look is just as stylish. For an even bolder look, add opaque colored tights to complement your attire.
