The Trend—Winter Boots

By Gilmarie Brioso on January 14, 2013

I just love boots. I believe them to be the best footwear available for women of the city. Why? It is mostly because they come in various heel lengths, which fit any woman’s style. But they also offer the balance needed to walk the misshapen steps that are the streets of New York City.

New York City terrain is unpredictable. You may be surfing through even pavement when you suddenly come across a cobbled street or one under construction and filled with those tar pebbles that stick to the underneath of your shoe. There are many grates and gaps and manholes, unfriendly territory for long thin heels. And let’s not forget those brief but speedy moments when you have to run to catch a train, taxi or bus.

That is why the thick soles of boots make them the perfect NYC accessory. I prefer booties, but they come in many styles that compliment various personalities, looks and occasions.

Here are four boot trends, courtesy of Who What Wear.

 

The Riding Boot

Not only does the Riding Boot’s length make them perfect for those New York City rain showers, but they are also sleek enough to add a dash of sophistication to a simple outfit, like that of jeans and a tee.

The Laced Up Boot

The Laced Up Boot is super casual, but their rigid shape gives off a nice military look. Try pairing these with a floral dress or a fun skirt for a sharp contrast.

The Wedged Boot

Wedge Boots are the perfect balance of height and comfort. They go well with work outfits and can also easily transition into your girls-night-out look.

The Chelsea Boot

The Chelsea Boot is extremely chic and stylish, which adds the right amount of elegance to any casual outfit.
