Boots – How to Choose the Best Styles for You

Boots are arguably my favorite wardrobe staples. With a variety of boot styles available, it can be difficult to choose which boots to invest in to curate a closet filled with timeless, and versatile options. Choosing the right boots for you comes down to functionality, quality and versatility! Boots are an investment and it’s time to invest in the right boots for you.

Boot Styles

Knee-High Boots

They have never gone out of style and there’s a reason for that. They add a chic element to any outfit. I especially love wearing them under a maxi dress, mini dress, or paired with a skirt set. I think every woman needs at least one pair of timeless block heel knee high boots, and a heeled knee high boot to wear throughout Fall and Winter.

Over the Knee Boots

The boot style that always take any look to the next level. They effortlessly create length by drawing the eye up. To create balance and length always ensure there is a gap between the top edge of the boot and the garment you are wearing. For example, if wearing a skirt that gap would be the upper thigh that is from the top of the boot to the bottom seam of the skirt. If you’re wearing skinny jeans, tights or leggings allow the waist of the jean to be seen with a tucked or cropped sweater or tucked shirt.

Ankle Boots

They’re incredibly practical and chic. My favorite way to wear them is under a boot cut jean, or legging. Chelsea boots instantly come to my mind when I think practicality. They are perfect for walking, and great for those with a busy lifestyle. Ankles boots can also add height with a stiletto heel, block heel or a platform depending on the look you’re going for.

Waterproof Boots

They always comes in handy when it comes down to functionality. Whether it’s staying stylish when it’s raining, or snowing. One of the things I used to struggle with when it came to waterproof boots is that I often found they weren’t very stylish, or sleek and they we’re somewhat hard to walk in.

Choosing your Heel Height & Shape

I am known for wearing heels as often as possible, but I always have at least one pair of flat boots for functionality and casual looks. If you live an active lifestyle, are often on the go a flat pair of boots is a great option to invest in. Consider choosing a style with a block heel as well. They can be more comfortable, and cover more surface area than a stiletto, so you don’t have to worry about cracked sidewalks or cobblestone as much. A heeled boot is best for short-term wear, date night, work or an event where you won’t be expected to be on your feet for extended hours.

Creating a timeless boot collection comes down to a few things. The quality of the boots, the versatility, the functionality and your lifestyle. Having at least one of each of the above boot styles, will help you effortlessly curate outfits all year long.

Style Tip! Always an extra pair of comfortable and weather proof shoes. You never know when you’ll need to switch into a different pair of shoes due to weather.
