With winter in full swing, trendsetters are on the prowl for the perfect cold weather attire. That’s particularly true when it comes to fashionable and functional footwear.
This season, designers have created new models made for both the city streets and the catwalk. In these new collections, the focus was on crafting boots with varying heights. From ankle booties to sky-high thigh boots. Boots with wedges will also be one of the leading trends in footwear this season along with rugged boots designed for taking on the harsh elements of the winter. While finding the right look for you may be difficult, there are plenty of collections and designs out there to choose from.
In addition to considering color, length, and material, remember to think about when and where you’ll be sporting your winter footwear. This will assist you in your extensive boot search. In your boot hunt, start by sorting through M&S‘s boots section. Beyond simply seeing photos of the footwear, you can read up on what other fashionistas like yourself have liked (or disliked) about the styles offered this season. Then, you can hit the streets (or just stay on the web) and peruse what’s available.
In need of some inspiration? Here are a few of the boot trends you’ll find this winter.
Lengthy Boots
Knee-high boots are a hot item for the winter 2014 season. Although these super tall boots may seem a tad intimidating, you can easily find boots that fit your height and proportion with the range of different types available. While they’re typically reserved for leggy women, boots that are knee length or higher flatter women of any height so don’t shy away from picking up a pair suitable for you.
For a more conservative but rugged look, opt for a riding boot with a stacked heel or slight wedge in black suede or chocolate leather as these are key materials used in other winter clothing. Remember, these will show some spunk, so feel free to incorporate fun accessories like brightly-colored scarves and structured blazers.
Cool Mid-calfs
From laid-back hipsters to sophisticated professionals, women everywhere are donning boots that cut off at their calves. And whether you go with the classic mid-calf boot in suede or leather or lace-up military style boots, this type of footwear can be worn at any time of year and during any season. For those who live in regions where winters are fierce, mid-calf boots with fur lining and rubberized soles and heels are both practical and aesthetically pleasing. As a result, your look is cute and current, as well as comfortable and functional.
From sleek suede boots with a furry interior and wedge bottoms to flat rain boots with warmer insoles, mid-calf boots definitely enhance any wardrobe with a trendy touch of style. In addition, mid-calf boots look good on just about anyone regardless of his or her body structure and aren’t as confining as boots that come up to your knees or higher.
Awesome Ankle Booties
Whether paired with patterned or printed leggings, jeans, or a shift dress that barely grazes the knees, ankle boots are being worn by the most fashion forward. Some of the most popular and trendiest choices are available in a number of luxe materials like suede and mohair or durable leather. What’s more, they come with stylish embellishments like spikes and studs, which are a must for any hip woman.
Although most of these delicious shoes come in wedges or heels, flat ankle boots are also quite popular. Add some extra intensity and spunk to your attire with brightly-colored booties matched with dainty, patterned socks.
