No other piece of clothing causes as much controversy as lace boots. Some consider them a sign of bad taste, others admiringly wear them in cool summer weather. The main thing to remember: acid-colored lace boots from the nearest market are not the only option for high shoes for the summer.
Why don't they like lace boots?
Most often, people with taste complain not about the lace itself, but about the shape of the boots as a whole. Style is, first of all, the art of correct lines: your clothes and shoes are designed to make the figure more elegant, sophisticated, and most importantly, proportionate. But most often, when talking about lace boots, they mean consumer goods, which are sold in large quantities in the markets. Often these are rather shapeless shoes in an unfortunate color, which, nevertheless, found a response in the hearts of customers as something unusual. Still, before the appearance of lace boots in 2009-2010, there was nothing like this on our market in our market.
Another popular model is perforated open toe boots. The reasonsdislike for them all the same:
- impractical;
- violation of the visual silhouette of the foot - the open toe roughly cuts off the leg and thereby shortens it;
- difficult combination with other wardrobe items.
A separate item in the list of reasons for dislike for fishnet boots is the mass nature of the phenomenon. When they first appeared, all our compatriots thoughtlessly began to buy them. There was a real boom in lace boots in the capital. For some reason, women did not think that the same models of boots make them look like people from an incubator. In addition, most often the combination of boots with clothes was rather inept - no one thought about the integrity of the image. And the fishnet boots seen so far on anyone make you wonder if this girl has everything in order with a sense of style?
How to choose a good model?
If you have firmly decided for yourself that you like lace boots, then try to choose your shoes wisely. Good fishnet boots should be made from natural materials. Most often, models available to the mass market are made from cheap synthetics and leatherette, which makes your feet sweat and you experience discomfort.
Pay attention to the sole. Good shoes don't have to look like they won't survive the next rain. Absolutely flat soles are also not an option. You will be much more comfortable if there is a small wedge or heel.
It's good if the silhouette of the boots fits perfectly on the leg. One of the main complaints about lace boots is rough, as if cut down with an ax, contours. According to thatFor the same reason, elegant ladies do not like uggs - after all, in shape they are not much different from boots.
Wedding boots
A separate category of fishnet boots are all kinds of wedding shoes. The bride's outfit is almost the only image where white lace boots will look appropriate. And then you should correctly approach the choice of such models, taking into account all the subtleties.
First of all, boots for the bride should definitely not be found in the nearest market. Let it be high-quality shoes of a classic feminine shape, ideally sitting on the foot. Secondly, the more colorful, elegant and eye-catching the lace pattern (albeit one-colored), the more modest the dress itself should be - otherwise you risk turning into a wedding cake. In any image, the correct placement of accents is important - lace boots are one of those visual “anchors” that attract the eyes of others. This “anchor” is already quite strong, and if there are several more (neckline, lace frills, etc.), then you will simply get lost in your outfit.
How to care for fishnet boots?
Openwork boots made of lace or fabric are always less functional than leather ones. If the latter can simply be wiped with a damp cloth from dirt and dust, then you will have to carry lace boots to dry cleaning. Do not try to wash them by hand or in the washing machine. Boots will simply lose their presentation. Particularly impractical are models of light shades - white,beige, gray boots. If you wear them every day to move around the city, then you will have to run to the dry cleaner almost every week. Save light-colored fishnet boots for special occasions, and for everyday wear, get something more versatile.
What else could be summer boots?
Lace boots are not the only solution. Stylish girls are not afraid to put on completely closed boots in cool summer weather. High boots made of natural materials (leather or fabric) will be appropriate for a country walk, concert, bar. In boots on a platform made of thin leather, even in summer it is convenient to withstand weather conditions - you will not be afraid of puddles or a dusty road.
Designers and fashion consultants are unequivocally in favor of cowboy style in the summer. This gives the green light not only to jeans and plaid shirts, but also to showy cowboy boots or boots. Leather or suede, with long fringes, they look great in a casual casual look. And if you still want lace - feel free to try on a light lace dress with boots of this type.
