These boots were made for walking… and dancing, and posing for Instagram pics.
With winter slowly approaching, our wardrobes are transitioning which means our summer sandals are getting the pushed to the back of the closet and we’re dusting off our ankle boots, but are they still in style? With fashion trends constantly coming and going, it can be hard to keep your finger on the pulse. With influences coming from numerous fashion weeks to classics that hail from years back, here’s the lowdown on which boots are in fashion for 2018.
Ankle Boots
Yes, your trusty babies are still in style and to be honest, their fashion status will probably never fade so keep on stepping in comfort and style.
Kitten Heel Boots
Before you pull your nose up at the granny-loved heels, they’ve gained huge popularity since making a comeback on runways and street stylists rocking them constantly have made them a huge trend. They’re also perfect for when you want a bit of height, but can’t even deal with stilettos right now.
Printed Boots
Animal print, floral prints and other pretty prints that were a major hit in the ‘80s have made their way back onto the scene in the best way ever. Now paired with skinny pants instead of flare jeans and sleek straight hair instead of exploding perms, these boots are the breath of fresh air your wardrobe needs.
Metallic Boots
Metallic boots are all the rage and not just because they bring the party. The next time you want to incorporate a trend without looking like you’re trying too hard, opt for these shiny steppers.
Cut-Out Boots
Boots are great, but sweaty feet are not which brings us to the cut-out boot. This hybrid allows you to put together a smashing look without that you’ll feel confident in even after you take your shoes off (no smelly feet here).
Mid-length Boots
Not an ankle boot, not yet a knee-high. Mid-length boots are perfect partners to their length-counterpart, midi skirts.
Sock Boots
Tired of gaping boots that let cold air constantly sneak in? Banish all irritants with the sock boot. These boots are favoured by the incredibly stylish Kardashians and supermodel sisters, Bella and Gigi Hadid.
Lace-Up Boots
When you’re not into joining the military, but you’re totally into their style, these lace-up boots will stylishly show off your patriotism. The come in grungy styles with belts and spikes and more refined designs such as peep and pointed toes.
Over The Knee Boots
Over the knee boots have been dominating our Instagram and Pinterest and shows no signs of slowing down. Making stylish waves in various designs and styles, these tall babies are not for the faint of heart.
Architectural Heels
We’re talking toilet-shaped heels, cone heels, stacked heels, and basically anything that makes you go “Woah, how do you walk on that?” These styles are best paired with simple, monochromatic looks so that they’re kept on full display and if your clothes are too loud when teamed with these boots, you run the risk of looking a little clowny.
Sparkly Boots
Not to be mistaken with metallic heels, these are covered in glitter. When it comes to styling, the same rules as Architectural Heels apply.
White Boots
Yes, Nancy Sinatra, your time has arrived. White boots are having such a moment right now and for good reason – they’re bold, stylish and versatile so don’t back away from getting a pair. You don’t have to pair it with a latex dress (although that is a look of note), your denim jeans will do just fine.
When it comes to finishing off your looks, there are plenty of trends when it comes to shoes for women so take advantage of them and live your most stylish life.
