Now that the nights are drawing in and winter is just around the corner, you can expect plenty of cold days, you need to dress to suit the weather, but like many people may find it difficult to strike a balance between reliability and fashion when it comes to dressing for winter. With regards to footwear, boots are certainly the best choice in winter, and indeed, boots are one of the best things about the coming cold. People everywhere can dust of their boots and wear them with pride, knowing that they have pulled of a stylish look. If you are not sure how to wear boots with style, then this article is definitely for you.
As well as being practical, warm and comfortable, the right pair of boots can also have the fantastic quality of being sexy, but heed this warning: if you do find the perfect pair of boots for you this winter (they are stylish, sophisticated and most of all look great), make sure that you protect them from the weather with gels and sprays.
When it comes to choosing boots, you need to realise that they are not all produced to the highest standards, do not take for granted that your boots are waterproof or have sufficient grip to walk on ice (no use getting a fantastic pair of boots only to slip and break an ankle, one boot and one cast have never been in fashion!). Find a balance between fashion and practicality, some boots provide both, so do have a good shop around when looking for boots. The best place to look for boots is online; you can browse thousands of pairs within a very short space of time.
Now on to fashion tips: when you put together your outfit, make sure that you wear clothes that suit the weather; nothing is less flattering than someone who goes out dressed in shorts and t-shirt, teamed with a fantastic pair of boots in the middle of winter. Anyone who does simply appears to be trying too hard. If you want to wear a similar look, wear warm, but funky tights under shorts and team the t-shirt with a heavy knit cardigan.
When it comes to wearing ankle boots, they are very stylish when worn with short skirts and a fashionable pair of tights, but avoid wearing long skirts with ankle boots, anything above the knee is fine, below the knee should be avoided. Alternatively, if you really want to wear a skirt or dress with boots, then you cannot go wrong with boots that finish mid-calf.
Once you have decided on the length of boot, you should next consider which embellishments to have,
fur boots look really good with floaty skirts and dresses, but they are equally funky when worn with jeans that are tucked into the boot.
