Over the knee boots are recognized as the winner of the new autumn-winter 2016-2017 fashion season in terms of shoe trends. Bright and concise, with a flashy decor and in a classic design, over the knee boots will easily fit into the wardrobe of any woman. But comfortable short boots do not lose their popularity.
Actual colors and materials
Gone are the days when only genuine leather shoes were held in high esteem. Now fashion is much more democratic and affordable, and short boots can be made of eco-leather, jeans and even velvet. The latter material is the trend of the season, but its practicality leaves much to be desired. Therefore, designers use only decorative velvet elements. In favor is the trimming of shoes with fur, and it doesn’t matter what kind of short boots they are - men's or women's. Lace on shoes is at the peak of popularity, but, perhaps, not for our winter. Decor in the form of zippers, laces and rivets is found, although its presence is minimized. The trendy colors of marsala, metallic and glitter are not inferior to the classic black and gray. The priority is light colors - pastel beige, bleached mint, splashes of champagne.
Heel or platform?
The sole has undergone a number of changes towards comfort. The usual, but uncomfortable stiletto heel has given way to wide heels. Short boots can be with a square heel and a platform in the toecap or with a solid sole along the entire length of the foot. Moreover, the sharp contrast of the main color of the boots and soles is only welcome. An elegant hairpin up to 7 cm high is no less practical. Previously, such a heel was worn by ladies at an elegant age. Today he is preferred by dynamic and active women. The toe is often as pointed as possible, and, as history shows, this is a temporary sign that quickly goes out of fashion. Round noses are less popular, the golden mean is in use. Massive outsole remains at the forefront of fashion.
Stylish chips
Any short boots can be an unusual element in a fashionable look. A light dress combined with brutal grunge-style shoes will only emphasize the femininity of the owner of this bow. An interesting solution is a combination with leggings or socks, and the latter should not be short. Rubber boots and warm leggings will be a salvation in the autumn bad weather. Roll up your jeans just above your boots and feel like a fashionable inhabitant of the urban jungle. Choose the color of tight tights exactly to match the boots - and you will immediately pass for an elegant person. Change the plain lacing of the boots decor to a contrasting one - feel like a hooligan. Allow yourself to experiment, avoiding the grotesque in a set of clothes.
Outside the classics -urban style
It's hard to surprise a person in a big city. So boots on bare feet in the summer are not a novelty for a long time. Long and short boots, with or without perforation, leather and knitted, in a restaurant, cinema and even theater - they are everywhere. Increasingly, girls prefer solid soles, while remaining no less attractive than high heels. Urban style implies relaxation and dynamism at the same time. The combination of short boots with different elements of clothing gives this feeling. Skinny jeans, a strict blouse and eco-leather boots are appropriate to wear to the office, and a black dress and suede boots are suitable for the theater. For a football match, it is preferable to wear denim with sports leggings and a bright sweatshirt, and for going to a cafe, it is enough to replace the sweatshirt with an oversized shirt dress. The variety of bows is not in their quantity, but in the quality and relevance of things. To help you - short boots, photos and videos of which in online stores are so convincing.
Dangerous combinations
Mix diverse things only by a professional. To avoid ridiculous mistakes, it is not recommended to combine short boots with the following things:
- fishnet tights or fishnet tights;
- strict trousers with trouser legs tucked inside the boots;
- wide trousers and sweatpants;
- long coats and raincoats, as well as midi;
- extremely cropped jackets and cardigans;
- evening dresses or dresses for special occasionscases;
- sets and dresses in pajama style;
- strict headwear;
- voluminous scarves and stoles;
- bag and gloves of the same color.
Such combinations either change the geometry of the figure for the worse, or look vulgar and tasteless. Not always liked the image from the catwalk is applicable in real life. Therefore, you should not follow the fashion “verbatim”. After all, for this you need to have the necessary education, excellent taste and considerable finances. It is enough to find the trends of the season that you like and correctly fit them into your basic wardrobe.
Subtleties of choice
It is necessary to know a number of rules in order to choose successful boots, especially women's short ones. Shoes should be comfortable. If the most fashionable model is cramped or impossible to fasten, then you should not think that “the fur will be covered” and the skin will stretch. Give preference to the pair in which you are ready to continue shopping right now. A wide shaft is a temporary trend of one season, which means it is better when short boots neatly fit the leg. Such models mix well with both trousers and skirts. Finishes in the form of horizontal, overlapping straps and zippers will visually shorten the length of the leg, which means that short ladies should choose a different design. They should not buy boots with a round toe. If short boots become the first in the wardrobe, then buying a classic form will be a good investment for a long time. Find your perfect style and don't stop there!
