In the last decade, boots called Timberlands have firmly taken a position in the fashion industry. They were invented back in the last century by Nathan Schwartz in the USA, who, by the way, emigrated there from Odessa. Yellow boots gained popularity in the 90s and still remain popular today due to their excellent heat retention properties, waterproofing and unique style.
Who can wear these shoes?
Initially, Timberlands were created exclusively for men. They were designed as boots for lumberjacks (even when translated, the Timberland brand name means “forest land”). The shoes were made in yellow so that male lumberjacks could be seen from afar. Their peculiarity is that they were and remain absolutely waterproof due to the gluing of the sole and upper without stitching.
At the moment, the company's color line has expanded: black, pink and other shoes have appeared.Although the style of shoes has remained quite brutal and rough, now they are worn not only by men, but also by women and even children. The brand produces women's, men's and children's sizes.
Many families buy each member a pair of Timberlands to create a real Family look.
What style do they suit?
Timberlands are absolutely versatile shoes. They fit many styles of clothing and can be combined with both warm and light clothes. The boots fit best into the following styles:
- casual. For everyday wear, Timberlands are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes. They can be combined with almost any type of jacket, trousers, and complemented with various accessories;
- military - ideal for a pair of rough boots. Outerwear in khaki color and a shoulder bag will perfectly complement the “military” image even on a fragile girl;
- cowboy. All you need for the perfect outfit is a plaid shirt or bandana;
- ethnic. The color scheme of the boots fits into the natural shades of brown, beige, green, which adherents of ethnic clothing tend to use in their wardrobe;
- classic. You can even introduce Timberlands into a business look. Is it true, It is better to choose shoes in black or another dark color. Fortunately, modern production allows this to be done;
- sea style. “Timbs” are perfectly combined with a vest and other striped items.
How to combine with outerwear in winter and autumn?
Combining Timberland with warm clothes in autumn and winter is not difficult. Boots and a cozy jacket will allow you to be well insulated and not freeze even in the most severe frosts. Timberlands can be worn with:
- leather jacket. A daring option like a biker jacket or biker jacket is best.You can either match a leather jacket to match your shoes, or combine, for example, a black jacket with classic yellow boots;
- denim jacket. For a warm autumn, a regular jacket is suitable, preferably in an oversized style. For colder weather, you can choose a denim jacket with fur. Usually it is either completely stitched with artificial (less often natural) fur, or only the body is stitched, and the sleeves are left just made of fabric. Also, such jackets have a fur collar that looks interesting. Choose denim with stripes or embroidery elements that match the color of the boots. It looks very fresh and youthful.
- parka. An ideal warm combination for winter and autumn. Choose a parka of any length, style and color - with any of them the “timbs” will look organic. A beanie hat, favorite jeans and even sweatpants will fit into this casual option. A parka with colored fur can be matched to the color of the boots, for example, pink;
- voluminous jacket. Puffy short jackets are trending. Moreover, the more voluminous it is, the cooler it looks. Another advantage is that with any of them, Timberlands will look stylish and tasteful;
- long down coat. This option is suitable for the most severe frosts. Try to choose a down jacket not with a classic, but with a more modern fit, for example, with a cocoon. A fashion trend of recent seasons - a down jacket-blanket is also perfect for combination with lumberjack boots;
- fabric coat. Who said that a tweed, drape coat is only a classic look? Combine it with jeans, a voluminous scarf and warm Timberlands;
- shortened sheepskin coat such as a leather jacket;
- fur coat. Even with it you can wear our boots. A lightweight version such as a sheepskin coat (autolady's fur coat) or vest would look better.
What pants go with Timberlands?
The most popular type of trousers to wear with timbos is jeans. This is a very practical and convenient combination that can be used, as they say, both at feast and at peace. Skinny blue or black jeans can be tucked inside classic yellow boots. It looks simple but stylish, and no cold winds can chill your feet. Figure-fitting jeans add attractiveness and femininity to the look.
If you choose wider boyfriend or mom jeans, the look will turn into a bold and slightly boyish look. However, now this combination is at the peak of fashion.
Don't forget to roll up your jeans a little before starting the boot.
For more daring girls, jeans with holes or frays are suitable. They also pair well with Timberlands of different colors. If you have colored jeans in your wardrobe, they will look good with black or dark gray boots.
Another combination option is leather skinny trousers and Timberlands. Typically, such trousers are made of eco-leather. Both all-leather items and leggings with fashionable geometric leather inserts work well. Biker trousers with ribbed inserts on the sides will look very daring, but beautiful on a girl.
Nobody canceled the combination of sports style and Timberland boots. That's why the combination of sports trousers or leggings with such shoes is popular among young girls and women. Warm winter trousers for sports and walking also look good with colored boots from this brand.
Taboo for boots
Many fashion publications write that Timberlands can be worn even in summer and warm spring with short denim shorts.However, this image is more suitable for filming and photo shoots, because in real life, a light top and a heavy bottom creates some imbalance. In this case, it is better to choose a denim or knitted skirt and wear boots with tights so that there are no exposed legs.
As for tights, you need to choose a thick version, even woolen ones for the winter.
Fishnet tights or almost transparent nylon models with “timbs” do not go well together due to the large difference in texture.
If you are thinking of combining Timberlands with a dress, then this is a great idea. They will look great with a warm knitted or denim dress, with a polo collar or other options. Pay attention only to festive fabrics such as velvet, satin, guipure, etc. With them, the boots will look superfluous and stand out from the sophisticated image.
In the store you can often find something similar to Timberlands, but with heels. Be careful! In most cases, they look defiant and completely unfeminine.
The original Timberlands are made with a flat run and a large grooved sole. If you still want to have similar shoes with heels, then choose a not too high, stable heel, and not a thin stiletto heel. The latter is completely incompatible with the rough lacing characteristic of “timbs”.
