Boots of the season

Now is the perfect timing to bag yourself a new pair of boots for the season. Ones that you can start to wear now until Spring. It can be tricky to know what suits you, whats the latest style and what shapes go with what outfits you wear the most. It’s a minefield of heel height and shape, height of the boot, colour or fabric and can overwhelm you when trying to find the perfect pair. Often what you perceive to be something online doesn’t always look that way on you either, so trying them on is always a must.

Chunky boot

This has been around for a couple of seasons now. It doesn’t always suit everyone but they do elevate your outfits. I love wearing mine with dresses, straight leg jeans and skirts.

---

Updated Chelsea boot

This style has been around for so long and will never got out of fashion but it has had an update. Either longer in the height of the boot so it can go under your straight leg jeans or the sole has got thicker so they aren’t as chunky as the chunky boots but they have a bit of an edge.

Heeled stiletto boot

We can no longer wear heels as we haven’t been wearing them for so long, but a bit of height does elongate our bodies and for evening with jeans, trousers or dresses a heeled boot is the perfect option.

---

Knee high boot

I am sure we all own a pair of knee high boots somewhere in the back of our wardrobe, well now is the time to pull them out. Great with dresses and skirts, I like a chunkier sole or a riding boot for over jeans and leather leggings.

Cowboy boots

A novelty for the season and something I wouldn’t recommend if you were building a wardrobe to last you years. But these 2 I believe they stand the test of time, through this trend and every year after.

Edits 5 essential winter pieces

Edits list of 5 pieces that you need for winter to update your wardrobe.

1: The Bag

The backpack has made a comeback this year. Not only are they stylish, but they’re great for back health too. We all know that we carry everything we need, what our kids need and what we don’t need, and this often leads to heavy bags. A backpack will distribute the weight evenly over the shoulders, as opposed to one arm or shoulder taking the load. So, really it’s a matter of health that you buy a rucksack this season. This Reiss Iris Shearling Rucksack is black and made of gorgeous soft leather. This stylish bag has a drawstring top, folds over and secures with a gold metal plaque and popper. It has a single shoulder strap to the top and detachable double straps to the back.

Just as the name suggests this Furry Floss Jacket in Chocolate Raccoon by Unreal Fur is made from a soft modal blended fabric but has the same appearance and feel of real fur. Wear yours over your LBD for a sophisticated evening style or for a casual look with Jeans and biker boots. This will keep you warm all winter long.
