Convenience is in fashion today. Stiletto heels, despite their elegance and elegance, cannot be called comfortable. Especially if you have to walk a lot during the day. However, modern designers offer women to remain stylish and beautiful even in comfortable shoes. We are talking about lace-up boots. They have remained at the peak of popularity for several seasons in a row and managed to win the hearts of millions of fashionistas around the world.
Features of combinations
Lace-up boots are versatile shoes. They can be combined with almost all wardrobe items: with jeans and trousers, with a dress and skirt, with a shirt and blouse, with a turtleneck and pullover, with a cardigan and jacket. In short, you can imagine and create stylish images endlessly.
The shoe material can be anything. For example:
- Of course, the most versatile is Genuine Leather. It looks great in office and business looks.Leather shoes with flat soles and laces are good for walking in rainy weather.
- For dry but cold weather (for example, in winter frosts) it is better to use boots made of natural suede. This material looks chic and goes well with outerwear such as a down jacket, parka, short fur coat or sheepskin coat.
- Patent leather boots – a bold and interesting option for confident fashionistas. These shoes are beautiful, but require careful selection of the rest of your wardrobe. For example, with overly bright clothes, patent leather shoes will look tacky and tasteless. Conversely, black classic lace-up shoes made of patent leather will stylishly complement a business trouser suit.
For a look with boots like these to be truly successful, it is important to carefully consider its color scheme. For example, for bright clothes you should choose calm shoes. If the “top” and trousers are classic, then the boots also need to be strict, without unnecessary decoration. When you want to dilute your image with notes of brightness and creativity, you can choose colored shoes that will actively attract attention.
Important! In stores you can find a huge number of shoes with laces. In order to choose the perfect pair from all the variety, it is important to focus not only on fashion trends, but also on individual characteristics. So, if shoes are purchased for everyday wear, then it is recommended to choose a model with a stable heel no more than 3-4 cm high.
For the last 2-3 seasons, stylists have advised purchasing boots in the following colors:
- black, brown, gray - classics that look great in almost any look;
- white and pastel - tones that can add femininity to the appearance;
- red, blue, green, yellow - shades that attract attention and add bright colors to the image.
