You have opened all of your packages and are spending all the wonderful cash you received. You have found the perfect outfit to ring in the New Year, but you can’t figure out what shoes to wear with it. The easiest and trendiest answer for 2010/2011 is a pair of boots. How tall the heel is, the shaft of the boot, whether it has a peep toe, zip or laces, a pair of boots will go with any outfit.
A strong trend this last Fall was the bootie. It mimicked the high heel but had characteristics of a boot. This piece of footwear will transition into the winter. You can wear it with skirts, dresses or pants. Try pairing it with a pair of dress shorts and some funky, patterned tights.
Going the complete opposite direction, the thigh high boot has made a come back this last season. Usually worn over a pair of skinny jeans or a mini, the thigh high comes in all different colors and patterns. One of the main allures of this boot is the ability to fold down the top part. This is a trend brought back from the seventies that is on most boots this season. You can find fold down boots with all different heel heights and fabrics.
If you are walking through the shoe department and you can’t find a pair of boots that screams your name or, on the other hand, you have found too many and can’t decide. Designers, such as Versace, have created leather, knee high shafts that you can place on top of your high heels to create the look of a boot without the cost and the monotony of the boot. These will come in different colors, fabrics and they come where you can fold them down to mimic the look of the trendy boot.
The boot is the go-to footwear for your New Years outfit.
