Military Ankle Boots: A Challenge for Most Fashionistas

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Military ankle boots often come embellished with lace. Most fashionistas find it a challenge to create a style with this type of ankle boots. Indeed, it is very challenging to find outfits that could match military ankle boots and if you are one of those who have just recently purchased a pair for yourself, we might be able to help you out.

Wearing military ankle boots means you like playing around with your fashion style because it really isn’t a pair that you could say is chic and feminine. On the contrary, military ankle boots have a very tomboyish-feel and its casual look screams fashion risk-taker.
To balance that look, did you know that you can actually pair military ankle boots with a dress? Yup, you heard it right. In fact, a floral-printed dress would look perfect with a pair of military ankle boots. A tunic top would also look good with a pair of military ankle boots, especially if you wear a pair of skinny jeans with it.

If you want to accessorize with a jacket, complement the look with a military jacket or shirt, complete with padded shoulders and long sleeves. If the jacket or shirt has breast pockets, that would be perfect. It’s risky but it is also very edgy and fashion-forward.
For a more comfortable and casual look, a huge, chunky knit sweater or cape would look gorgeous with a pair of military ankle boots.

Of course, you can never go wrong with classic and neutral shades of oatmeal, black, and gray so it is best to stick with those colors.
Leggings and jeggings can also be worn with military ankle boots just like baggy jeans would look good with it. With baggy jeans, you can simply tuck the ends inside the ankle boots and you are good to go.

How to Style with Slouch Wedge Boots (Part I)

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

So you’ve recently purchased slouch wedge boots. But do you have any idea at all how to wear them? Nope? Then read on.

Slouch boots, especially the wedge types, are great to wear all year round because they never go out of style. It means that you can wear them on Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Spring, Summer, and Fall, just take your pick. One reason why this is so is because these popular pairs of 80’s inspired fashion are very chic and anyone who wears it can look effortlessly stylish and fashionable.

Whether you are out running errands or attending a friend’s party, slouch wedge boots is one of the most fashionable pairs of women’s shoes that you could wear. Investing in one can mean tons and tons of outfit to style it with. Of course, the more pairs, the merrier.

The slouchy-rolled down style of wedge boots are unlike other styles because it looks very casual without looking sloppy.
Slouchy wedge boots are reminiscent of cowboy films, but with a more feminine touch to it. If you are planning to wear a pair anytime soon, these styling ideas may be of great help.

The trick with wearing slouchy wedge boots is to find the right balance in your outfit. Wedge boots have the tendency to highlight your calves or ankles so if you are on the bigger side, you may find it a bit off. However, you might still be able to pull it off. Choose a pair of slouchy wedge boots that goes over your mid-calves, since this part is considered the widest part of your leg. Also choose a color that blends perfectly with your bottom wear (hosiery, skin tone, or bottom).

Top-heavy ladies, on the other hand, will greatly benefit from wedge boots. As mentioned, they can bring out the size of your calves so wearing a pair can greatly balance it out. You won’t appear as though you will topple over. Women who have inverted triangle or round/apple body shapes should wear slouchy wedge boots to draw attention from the body.

These are just the basic tips that you can follow if you have recently purchased a pair of wedge boots for yourself. Next week, we will select the perfect types of outfit that you can match with it.
