Winter is here and there is nothing better than a pair of stylish boots to keep those hot legs warm.
Sock boots
The biggest footwear trend this winter is the sock boot. This boot hugs the ankle and extends to midshin. With a super pointed toe and kitten heel, it is inspired by 80s footwear. They are easy to slip into, without any hassles of laces or zippers, and feel like second skin.
First spotted at the Balenciaga Runway, celebrities like Kendal and Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez have been spotted wearing the sock boot. From designers to high street brands, everyone is experimenting with the sock boot. This makes it easily available in a variety of colours, styles, materials, textures and price points. Sport an oversized knit on top and let the sock boots do the talking.
Glitter boots
Gone are the days that boots were pulled up on snowy days or were simply a blank canvas for our winter wardrobe. Shimmery, glittery, jewel encrusted - it is all about the bling. Glitter boots are the must-have accessories for Fall 2017. When the model sashayed down the runway in high shine boots at 'Saint Laurent Fall Winter Show', the entire world took notice. With disco balls on the feet, it is hard not to. For anyone looking to instantly draw eyes to their legs and make a statement, a pair of glitter boots is a must-have.
Slouchy boots
This old school trend is the safest bet for incorporating into your everyday wardrobe. Slouchy boots look the best with skinny jeans, as they're roomy and provide a flattering proportional contrast to the slim denim style. But it also adds a sophisticated gleam when paired with skirts and dresses. It comes in a myriad of options from leather to suede to suit everyone's needs.
Thigh-high boots
This season, thigh-high boots are reaching new heights, quite literally. As the temperature begins to drop, your thigh-highs will provide an extra layer to keep your legs warm. They also jazz up an otherwise ordinary outfit, like your go-to jeans and a simple blouse. A long-sleeved sweater dress and coats paired with thigh-high boots are guaranteed to make you look stylish and chic during the day.
Red boots
Red is the 'it' colour of Winter 2017. From outerwear to footwear, it can be spotted everywhere. While white boots were a big trend this summer, red boots are primed to be everywhere this Fall. It started out on the runways with virtually every designer, from Valentino to Victoria Beckham, sending their models in a pair of red boots. And then every celebrity, model and influencer was seen flaunting a pair.
Whether tucked into a pair of jeans or styled with a skirt, a pair of fiery red boots make any look pop.
