‘Tis the season of apple picking, pumpkin carving and, most importantly, boot wearing! While you may have a favorite pair of boots already, make room in your schedule (and closet!) for a little retail therapy this autumn. Proving that the 1970s trend is still going strong, designers have brought groovy new styling to their boots giving us more choices than ever.
There’s nothing like an amazing pair of over-the-knee boots for a summer-I-am-so-over-you fashion statement. Structured yet fitted black leather ones will ground a pencil skirt and graphic blouse for a professional outfit. For a more obviously 70s inspired look, try a pair with patchwork for texture and color interest like Burberry Prorsum’s blue suede over-the-knee boots with scarlet and gold patches (who doesn’t love a little nod to Elvis?).
Channel some of your mom’s hippie instincts with a western style boot, which can be anything from cowboy-inspired to fringe covered (yes, fringe may just be THE flair of 2015). To ease into this trend, slide your skinny jeans into cozy cowboy-ish boots and add a sophisticated flowy top (no precious prints, please!). To step the western feel up a notch, we can’t get enough of Ann Taylor’s caramel suede stiletto booties with a row of kicky fringe at the ankle!
Still not ready to take a break from your old riding boots? The style that will amp up your 70s trendsetter status while remaining classic and versatile is a chunky heeled boot with buckle details. Choose a bootie or midi height for an of the moment look. We are obsessed with a pair of brown leather buckled JCrew midi boots new to Dew Luxe (Size 6, only $70!). Learning to cuff your pants is an important step to branching out from knee high boots, so check out this guide for some tips.
As ever, honing your look and creating your personal style is all about exploring the options available and choosing what speaks to you. Come over to Dew Luxe where we can help you embrace your inner free spirit with this autumn’s boots!
