If you are keeping up with the trends, pay specific interest in the footwear. They are a unique, and super stylish option. Not to mention they are perfect for the spring season. So if you don’t have them yet – you better find the perfect color for you and add them to your closet.
These shoes come in various heights and, therefore can appeal to anyone with any style. Short or long, these look fantastic and are the next best alternative to sneakers. Not to forget that their late 90’s aesthetic is highly simplistic, and just what we like.
Styling Tips
- Monochrome Look: These shoes come in all types of neutral colors, including black, white, beige, brown, and grey. Even if you get a pair in one colorway, try pairing the rest of your clothes directly with it. This works best if you wear an all-beige or grey attire, as it will look unique.
- Go for taller boots when wearing skinny jeans. The hem of the fitted denim ends up covering the tops of the shoes if they are shorter. Thus, opt for taller ones where the jeans can easily fit inside, or double roll the hem if you wish to wear the shorter ones.
- Boot socks and leg warmers are excellent accessories to your footwear and look unique!
- You should go for high-waisted flared pants to emphasize your shape and avoid looking boxy instead of mid-rise. I suggest opting for a fitted top as well to compliment your ensemble.
- Heeled lug soles are ideal for semi-formal and formal dressing.
- Accessories play a huge part in making or breaking your outfit. If you struggle with styling these shoes for formal occasions, opt for accessories and jewelry that complement your attire and make you stand out.
