Shopping for Boots - Fall Fashion Trends
Unfortunately, we know fall leads to rain, and then to snow, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style to stay fly and dry. Today’s savvy weather braving babes know that a bit of waterproofing spray can save even the softest suede. Form and function, you ask? Yes, it exists. Check out water resistant nylons, smooth waterproof leathers, and micro fleecing to keep those tootsies extra warm and don’t forget rubber outsoles so you don’t show up on YouTube falling on your derriere. Cute, classy, and comfortable is an irresistible combination.

They come in a variety of shapes and styles all set for every lifestyle. Read on to check out the winter line-up. Try to pick a favorite or buy them all, tis the season to be giving.
Whoa! Down Girl
Last season style maven Rachel Bilson was seen prancing around LaLa Land in adorable riding boots. Of course, many of us went and splurged on a pair or two and luckily this year the trend continues, but with a sleeker style. The equestrian trend continues at full gallop in a form of hot bonanza chic. Some style hues stick to contemporary looks like Salvatore Ferragamo’s, while other designers adopt the simple silhouette as a starting point to indulge in more exotic fashion fantasies.
From Gucci’s sexy, swinging 60’s mod style (with a white leather size zipper) to Mui Mui’s playful moccasin suede slip-ons, the passion for boot fashion is in full effect. Looking for a basic? Try Coach’s perfect, basic black boot that’s not only stylish, but keeps you warm and dry and looks fabulous in Cosmo or walking to the park. Flat boots can be just as sexy and fashionable as high-heels. Try out a suede, leather, or croc pair in a rich jewel tone to really stun. Donned with mini dresses, pants, or skirts, tucked in or out, these versatile boots are the ultimate pairing of comfort and fashion.
Lace-Ups
All tied up? Tied up and down, all around, lace up boots was seen sauntering down the runway this season. These lovely go perfectly with the modern military style of fall’s coats, and jackets, yet easily cross over to the romantic Victorian-inspired blouse styles. Try wearing your Ugg boots next to these sexy stunners.
Slouchy
Not your posture, the boot. As the boho-chic transitions into fall, slouch boots perfectly compliment that empire waist dress you bought this summer. Pair slouchy boots with leggings or jeans for a London look. Go beyond brown and black and venture out with the bright colors like turquoise or hot pink.
Fashion Gone West
Thank you Jessica Simpson for bringing back the Daisy Duke sex appeal mixed with falls-urban cowgirl chic. Western boots are kick tail this season, ranging in all colors from red to green, paired with a belted cardigan or a crisp oxford shirt, the pop. With the status of denim topping, it shouldn’t be hard to hustle these babies into your wardrobe.
Booty Call
Ask any fashionista and she’ll tell you the bootie is this falls must-have. Channel your inner 80’s icon with the ankle boot. Go cozy chic with Alexander McQueen’s sheering lined, lace-ups and Lanvin’s haute punk ebony leather stunner.
Get High
Boots were getting frisky this fall, creeping up ladies thighs from the runways of Marc Jacobs to the streets of Manhattan. The look is less Pretty Woman, and more to accommodate this season’s sexy 60’s shift dresses, slim tunics and cute jumpers that seem to expose much of the leg. |
