Nothing is better than pulling out soft leather shoes for the first time. Not only do they provide warmth and structure, but they pull together any outfit and are an easy way to elevate any look.
Running late? Throw on a sweater and leggings, but add boots and the lazy day outfit is now a work of art. To make the effect even greater, add a cool pair of socks. A peek of colorful, interesting socks at the top of any boot is a great way to show personality among the neutral fall colors. Match socks to the rest of the outfit for a new belt and shoes combo.
The boot choices available today are versatile, no matter the personality or wardrobe. Chelsea boots are having a moment for their simplicity and elegance, but a hiking boot is a great option for campus. They have all of the stability of a running shoe, but with a touch of style and autumn feeling.
Don’t like a short boot? Try knee-high or riding boots. These classics have been a staple throughout history for good reason. They are a great option to wear with a dress in chilly weather. They shield legs just like pants, but open up a myriad of possibilities. Layering is no longer just for the top half of your body. Go for it with a skirt or dress, maybe even shorts.
Of course boots aren’t just for girls. Guys can get in on the action too. Try a nice cardigan and chino pants, but add boots for a rugged edge. The right footwear choice can change a look from interview chic to a night at the bar. Boots look much better with denim than athletic shoes or even Sperrys.
This fall, put down the Nikes and reach for that soft leather in the back of the closet. Boots are a cool friend, ready to keep you warm and make you look good. Whatever the weather and no matter the outfit, pull on boots this fall and instantly upgrade your look.
