Boots are those shoes without which it is impossible to imagine a full-fledged and stylish wardrobe of today's fashionable woman.
A wide variety of styles and trends can embody the wildest fantasies of stylists in reality, and for lovers to surprise and delight others with their appearance, this fashionable abundance gives even more choice for expressing your self.
In our article we will talk about how to create the most harmonious image using a combination of boots + dress, how to choose the style and color of these wardrobe items to make the tandem feminine and stylish.
How to combine a dress with boots?
First of all, choosing a dress for boots should be based on the style in which these shoes are created.
If you wear a strict business dress and complement it with cowboy-style dutiks or boots, then this image, to put it mildly, will cause bewilderment among your colleagues and bosses. To avoid such an absurd situation, it is worth considering more affordable options for boots - for example, classic models with medium heels (not more than 6 cm).
With shoes on a flat sole it will be possible to create the largest number of winning ensembles, because such models can be in completely different directions. Let's look at some of them:
Dutics.
With such informal boots, dresses in a sporty style no longer than the middle of the thigh, straight cut or slightly fitted will be very cool to combine.
Prints can be in the form of an emblem of a sports club or catchy inscriptions, and it will be very profitable to look if the color of the pattern on the dress and the detail on the dutiks overlap.
Cowboy.
These wide boots, which came with modern fashion from West American westerns, were very fond of admirers of boho and grunge styles.
Such a pair can easily be combined with a dress from a grandmother's chest, wearing it with the appropriate headdress - a wide-brimmed hat, bandana or bowler hat. Complete the image with a canvas shepherd’s bag over your shoulder - and your feminine and extraordinary image is ready to surprise others!
Classic.
In shoes with solid black soles made of leather, you can safely visit the office.
Their successful combination with business clothes is actively used to comply with a strict dress code, as they fully comply with the rule of “black bottom-white top”. Combine such black boots made of genuine leather with dresses and complement the bow with a strict jacket in a contrasting color - and your superiors and attitudes to work will be appreciated by the authorities.
It should also be noted that certain types of dresses should be approached very carefully in the issue of combining with shoes.
So, for example, an evening toilet may well look harmonious with models of shoes with a high thin stiletto heel. A high leg that fits the legs tightly emphasizes their harmony, and the heel adds a few centimeters of growth, thereby making the silhouette a little more elongated and taut.
Dress-shirts, worn with high boots or boots, look very lively and free.
Moreover, shoes can be both on the heel and on solid soles. The advantages of heels in this ensemble will be appreciated by short girls who just need to be a little taller, as well as those who do not feel too comfortable with low soles. Boots without heels are suitable for those who can not imagine themselves without comfortable and convenient shoes, which makes it possible to be very mobile.
How to wear at different times of the year?
Since today boots are created for all seasons, and even for summer, it is worth considering the choice of dress for shoes from this point of view. The main rule in this case is to combine fabrics similar in texture and density, because you must agree that fur boots and a chiffon summer sundress will not be appropriate.
Winter
Winter boots with a dress - a combination that can diversify boring winter ensembles, among which the bulk are sets with trousers and warm pants. With competent combination, very soft and cozy images can turn out in which it will be warm and comfortable even at a negative temperature outside the window.
Knitted dresses with popular Scandinavian prints - deer, snowflakes and similar images look tender and cozy in combination with winter uggs and other comfortable boots. The length of the dress can be almost any - from mini to elongated midi, the main thing is that the distance from the top edge of the boots to the hem of the dress is at least 15 centimeters. For this ensemble it is worth picking up dense woolen tights from angora or cashmere, and then in this way you can safely walk along the snowy street of a winter city.
Spring / Autumn
Demi-season models have a wider variety of shoe models, which allows you to create much more images with dresses.
For example, try trying on extravagant leather boots of an unusual color (for example, burgundy or red) with a modest dress of a strict cut, and complement the ensemble with a light trench to the knee. In these clothes, style will be noticeable against the background of simplicity, and the femininity that always accompanies such an item of clothing as a dress.
In the spring months, I really want to get rid of annoying warm clothes and throw off an extra layer of clothing. Replacing warm winter boots with lightweight options and supplementing them, in addition to dresses, with bright accessories, you and those around you are guaranteed to be in a good mood. Try to use sunny colors - yellow, lemon, orange, as well as warm tones of green and blue.
Summer
Summer boots are no longer a novelty in the fashion world.
The unique property of this type of shoe to emphasize the beauty of female legs and the slimness of the silhouette could not be left for the summer months by fashion designers, which is why models of boots appeared in which the legs do not feel discomfort in hot weather. In leather models, this is achieved by perforating the entire surface of the shoe and opening the heel and toe of the boot. Also, fully knitted models, in which only the sole remains dense, often began to appear.
Summer boots combine with almost all kinds of light dresses - whether it be a business office sundress or a strapless cocktail summer dress. What can I say, some knitted models of boots look quite appropriate on the beach, where they perfectly complement the pareo swimsuit set.
Take into account the length
A very urgent question that is of interest to so many fashionistas today - with what boots should I wear a dress below the knee?
The stylists here did not agree. Some advise choosing models whose upper edge will be hidden under the hem of the skirt. In this case, it is important to choose the right style of dress - flared or pleated models are perfect, which with a gust of wind will develop and slightly open your legs.
A short dress in this regard gives more room for imagination, because boots with absolutely any height of the shaft can be combined with such a length.
With tight-fitting dress models, over-the-knee boots look great. The distance that should be between the upper edge of the shoe and the lower dress in this case should not be more than 10 centimeters. otherwise you run the risk of appearing vulgar. The same applies to colorful accessories and makeup - such a kit does not imply the wearing of any things and bright lipstick that attract attention.
Combine colors
The most common color for boots is black. It is not without reason that it is considered universal, because in the variant with the dress it will fit almost any style.
You can safely combine such boots with a business image, complementing them with classic models of dresses and pencil skirts. A sheath dress can be worn with black high heel boots, and an office sundress will look very cute with black boots on a high stiletto heel.
Brown boots not so long ago returned to the images of celebrity, and nevertheless, made a splash.
These shoes will be perfectly combined with dresses in a free urban style. Try wearing a denim dress with simple brown piping boots, and you will immediately get a very cozy and stylish ensemble.
Brown boots with a thick heel with an assembly in the ankle area look interesting.
This model, as it were, brings us back twenty years ago, to the end of the 80s, when the triumphant return of mini skirts to the domestic catwalks happened. Very well, these boots can be combined in retro-style looks - add the same brown noodle tights, a year-old dress and several accessories of that time - a wide scarf, a voluminous bag-bag or gloves made of bright leather.
If you are considering what boots to wear with a white dress, then it all depends on where you plan to appear in this image.
Casual white dress is a rather bold choice, and it is recommended to combine it with boots of light colors - for example, with gray or beige. It is not recommended to combine black boots with a white dress, since such a set looks tasteless.
White boots and a white dress will look great on the bride in the cold season.
But immediately worth a reservation. that you need to choose the appropriate shoes - the decor in the form of rhinestones and lace will be very useful here.
Dresses in bright red, blue, pink and green shades look pretty decent with the same versatile black boots.
If this option is unacceptable for you and you want to stand out from the usual framework, you can choose the colors that are suitable for the shoes according to the table of shades, just do not forget that warm tones are combined with warm and cold tones with cold.
We should also say about tights.
Their color is selected according to the color of shoes, not dresses. So, for example, black boots almost always look good with black tights. The only exception is ensembles in which the dress has enough light and warm tones - beige, ocher, khaki. These shades are recommended to wear flesh-colored tights that do not attract attention.
If you are a supporter of shocking and like to surprise others with your appearance, look at the bright colors of tights. Even putting them on with things of rather neutral tones, you are sure to stand out from the gray mass and draw attention to your person.
