Winter is upon the fashion lovers in AU... putting away the open toes and bringing out the ankle boots and knee highs!
The staple Winter wears consists of your skinny's or leggings, jackets and boots.
Last Winter, boots didn't have a chance to make a long comeback, as the Winter peeped and went. Come 2013, and this Winter, the boots have well and truly returned. Ankle boots on skinny's are a slick and quick look to wearing a boot, it is the replacement to the Summer heel for Winter :) whereas the mid calf and full length boot is more of a Winter Warmer for the leg.
I recommend having two boot options; flat heeled and one with a heel. Casual Vs Stiletto style. Steer clear of severe round toe boots, I am not a fan of this look, it cuts your style short and robs you of that extra lengthy look in your leg... the illusion of long / lean is in the cut and style of the boot.
Unfortunately the flat heeled boot, serves no justice for those who are small in stature and height. It is merely a must have casual footwear to have during Winter, like that of the ballet flat. I recommend to give yourself a small heel or a wedge heel, don't go for the complete flat floor ( no heel ) boot if you lack height.
By night... kick up the look, and slide on a pair of calf, knee or thigh high boots over a slick pair of skinny's Thigh highs should not be worn lightly, to carry this look off with Style, always keep it tasteful with a sleek jacket or loose tunic style top. Steer clear of thigh highs over mini's.. it's about. style and class Vs something suggestive .. (the later should never be the case ) xx
