Tough as Old Boots
They say that you cannot judge others until you have walked a mile in their shoes. As old proverbs go, this is a saying that has passed through generations and generations. It tells us to see the world through another’s eyes before we cast aspersions about their situation.
Yet like many proverbs, the moral doesn’t hold for every ‘walk’ of life. Indeed, it might need to be rewritten when it comes to style: this season you might find yourself desperate to walk off with the shoes adorning the feet of fashion-forward girls and guys up and down the country.
A classic on-trend look this autumn and winter is the tough leather buckled boot. Lined with shearling in certain variations, these heavy duty yet sprightly boots are perfect for adding attitude to jeans and blazers, as well as fighting off the rain and snow over tights and dresses. Check out New Look for high street takes on these hard-wearing ladies shoes.
If you take the time to browse the online sites of high street shops and department stores, you’ll find plenty of options for sturdy, attractive, comfortable boot to take you walking all the way through winter and out into spring. These are tight times, and no one wants to spend cash they don’t have on several pairs of shoes they’ll barely wear, or quickly break. The biggest trend is thrift, being wise to spending and resourceful with your wardrobe.
So, if you are looking to add some boots to your collection, find a savvy way to combine enduring trends and all-round wearability. The Americana-inspired fringes and sandy shades and denim of the summer are translated into another big boot craze: the suede wedge, in black, grey and stoney brown.
These look great with leggings and baggy oversize jumpers for an off-duty city look, and can pick up tea-dresses and kicked-out high-waist skirts, adding a womanly feel to girlish silhouettes. Just remember that shoes maketh the outfit, but more importantly, be careful how you spend, and don’t spend for the sake out it. Put your money where your feet are, and stand tall.
