Even in cold and harsh winters, many girls want to stay beautiful and not burrow into a hundred clothes.
This principle applies to shoes. To attract attention to the legs, but not to freeze and fall on the first ice surface that comes across, many prefer high heel boots. It is the heel that helps visually lengthen the legs, while not depriving the shoes of practicality and convenience.
Fashion models
Heels are a favorite attribute of shoes for many girls.
Often, some of them wearing flat boots are simply uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Winter with its ice is not a reason to abandon the heel. Designers of many brands have tried to present as many models as possible that will please everyone.
Speaking about winter shoes, first of all it is necessary to consider a thick steady heel. It allows you to confidently stay on the surface, and a special sole minimizes the risk of slipping and falling. In length, such a heel can be both medium and high. As for the shape, most often it is rectangular, with a column. Massive models are in fashion, so do not discount the thick heel, which can be found in the collections of Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, Haider Ackermann.
Another reliable and comfortable option, which, however, does not deprive the boot of a certain rise, is a low square heel. It, as well as stable, minimizes the possibility of falling and provides almost complete adhesion to the surface. In addition, a low square and thick stable is ideal for owners of full legs. It is such a heel that is most often found on most stylized dutik boots.
But among the girls are daredevils who can not imagine life without their favorite hairpins.
There are not so many such winter boots, since the hairpin is not as stable as a thick “column”, but there are always some worthy options for a dry warm winter. In addition, the hairpin is loved by many brands such as Ralph Lauren, Altuzarra, Burberry Prorsum. A thin heel is available in several lengths - medium and high, but with extra centimeters it is worth being careful on an ice surface. It is fashionable to combine a hairpin with a high length of the boots themselves and lacing.
Any medium and high heel can easily be combined with a platform, thereby making shoes higher, but more convenient due to an acceptable rise. The trend is visual massiveness, so a pair of boots with a high stable heel and no less high platform can be an excellent acquisition.
A separate trend direction of the season can be called unusual heels.
Among them are transparent options, “hidden”, merging with the main part according to the material and texture, richly decorated and in every possible way stand out with the help of color. Some heels even take on strange shapes, for example, a little curved, ornate, pot-bellied. There are boots with a heel displaced from the heel towards the midfoot.
Fashion trends of the season affect not only the shape and height of the heels, but also the shoe models in general.
This year, special attention is paid to the boots, which, although they do not go out of date, nevertheless for some time lost mass popularity. High boots covering the knees are made of different materials, however, the most bias is made towards suede. Treads are decorated with leather imitating the texture of reptiles and fur inserts.
Another stylish option is the tight-fitting and high stocking boots.
Overly tall models that sometimes hide under the hem of a short skirt are in fashion. Despite the fact that such shoes attract attention with their own design, it is also customary to make them as bright as possible in colors and decor, for example, with lacing throughout the entire height. They look unusual because of the form they are wearing, but at the same time, even the worst weather should not be feared in such boots. As always, the dutiks are made bright, colorful, not infrequently with geometric or floral prints. Most often they are combined with skin.
The standard length to the knee, no doubt, does not lose its leading position. But besides them, low ankle boots remain in fashion, for example, classic, under the "Cossacks", cowboy models.
Among the style, several prevail at once: classic and minimalism in jewelry; military with rough forms, rivets, chains, lacing; romantic, made in pastel shades, with decorations from cute shiny details. Among the trendy colors are coral, cherry, burgundy, metal, and, of course, monochrome classics.
Length
It is generally accepted that boots are shoes that reach the middle of the calf or knee high.
Indeed, such a height is the most common, because it allows you to keep your feet warm, wear skirts and dresses even in winter, and protects against snow or moisture. Of course, this length implies in most cases a zipper.
In pursuit of fashion, designers of shoe companies produce short models of boots, a couple of centimeters high above the ankle.
Of course, in such shoes you don’t have to go through the snowdrifts, since the snow will immediately fall to the foot, but they look no less worthy than tall models. In addition, such boots are insulated no worse, so if the weather allows, you can not be afraid to freeze even with a short length.
In contrast to shortened models, I exist long. Treads and stockings above the knee, or even reaching the hips.They look spectacular, so it is not suitable for every situation.
Material
Most of all, leather, natural or artificial, is used in production, because it not only looks beautiful, but also keeps its shape, does not allow moisture to pass, and allows other materials to be used in combination with itself.
The texture of the trend is smooth leather, patent, and also processed so that it mimics reptiles, for example, crocodile, snake. Suede is also leather, although it has a separate name. It is soft and velvety, but requires careful care and is not suitable for wet winters.
Since we are talking about winter shoes that are constantly exposed to snow and moisture, woven material is used quite rarely.
The dutik boots, which returned popularity among the adult population, are sewn from waterproof textiles and very often combine it with leather. Some models of boots mimic the appearance of boots, so they use wool. The combination of several materials is one of the main trends of the season, therefore, in addition to textiles and wool, on some part of the boots you can find velor, yarn, nylon. As insulation and sometimes decorative elements use fur and velor.
Color
The most universal coloring for winter boots is the dark range - black, gray, brown, blue, burgundy shades.
They are the most classic, easily combined with both a down jacket and a fur coat. White and beige are also traditional colors, although they are much rarer than dark ones. This is due not to the unpopularity of colors, but only to the practical side of the issue - in slushy winter light shoes instantly covered with dirty spots.
Of course, among women there are not a few who love to create vivid images, including with the help of boots. Winter is already a faded season, so designers delight fashionistas with bright colors: coral, emerald, red, orange, especially fashionable “metallic” ones. Boots made of patent leather or waterproof textiles are especially often made, but suede models are mostly of pastel shades: light blue, cream, pink.
How to choose?
When choosing boots with heels, it is worth considering your capabilities correctly.
Fifteen centimeters look very attractive, but not everyone will be able to pass in such shoes most of the day. And in general, it is not recommended to wear high-heeled shoes for more than four hours. The most optimal height is seven or eight centimeters.
It is advised to buy shoes after dinner, when the leg has time to get tired and a little swollen.
Of course, you can’t ignore the fact that the couple you like shakes or hangs on the foot, that is, it’s worth picking up only the right size, otherwise you can hurt your legs. In addition, when choosing winter boots, it is worth considering over what they will be worn - thin tights or thick woolen socks. Attention should be paid to how the boots are made: are the soles, accessories, and decorative elements properly attached.
Half boots are suitable for owners of any figure and height, since they do not “take” centimeters and, conversely, are able to give them using the height of the heel.
Knee-high boots are suitable for girls of medium height, visually lengthening their legs, and high, but low is better to choose shoes a little lower. Treads and stocking boots, although desired by almost everyone, but in reality are suitable only for tall girls, since on low young ladies they simply destroy all visual proportions.
The heel should be thicker the denser the leg.
A thin hairpin fits thin legs, but a massive thick heel visually makes the appearance more difficult. But a stable heel is well suited to the most ordinary middle legs and owners of tight shapes. You should avoid decorative elements in those areas from which you want to divert attention, for example, he has thick ankles.
What to wear?
Winter is not a reason for many to refuse skirts and dresses, especially since high boots will allow their legs not to freeze.
The longer the skirt, the shorter the height of the shoe should be and longer at the heel. Best of all, skirts are adjacent to the tight leg, since the wide one can make the lower body visually massive. Short skirts should be worn with over-boots, but in combination with leggings or thick tights, but stocking boots may well hide under the hem of the clothes. Knee-high boots can be safely combined with high knitted golfs that make the image very feminine and romantic.
Pants and jeans will have to be selected depending on the height and narrowness of the shoes. Under high boots they will have to be tucked, so it is more advisable to choose shortened and tight-fitting models. As for clothes from above, it all depends on the image and situation, so you can choose a blouse, shirt, and sweater.
Most of the boots will look good with any outerwear, whether it be parks, insulated coats, vests, fur coats. It is worth keeping a balance between the height of the shoes and the long hem so as not to turn yourself into a shorty. Boots made of suede and smooth leather are great for coats and fur vests, and dutiks for down jackets.
Stylish looks
In warm winters, you can afford to wear a coat. The blue oversize model with large lapels is combined with a long warm gray scarf, tight-fitting trousers and high black patent leather boots. Shoes have a sharp toe and a zipper, as a fastener, and in front they are decorated with metal details that imitate the lacing. The image is completed by a neat handbag on the shoulder.
Boots with a thick steady heel (black upper and brown heel) are combined with a short parka with fur. Dark jeans are tucked under the boots, and a large black rectangular shoulder bag fits black leather gloves.
Another option with a parka, this time blue, but with ankle boots in a short square heel. The height of the shoe allows you to wear blue cropped jeans. Beige cropped sweater on top. A khaki backpack was used as a bag.
A short-sleeved fur coat creates a monochrome classic bow with tall leather boots with thin heels. Under the fur coat there is a light peach blouse, dark blue tight jeans. There is a black bag on chains and a black turban hat.
