Boots & Booties
Boots and booties are winter essentials. A few considerations to remember:
- Consider your climate and weather – if you’re south, you don’t “have to” do leather so places like Zara won’t be bad
- Leather is always best! It lasts longer, can be refreshed, and looks good with a little patina
- Rain boots are cold! I love them but they require a pair of thick socks if you’re thinking of running out in the snow with them
- Consider the sole – a great boot has a leather sole so if you’re heading into the snow then you need to head to the cobbler first to get a rubber sole added to save the boot
- Consider the shaft length – if you have meatier calves then ankle-length maybe your bestie along with stretch options (like Stuart Weitzman)
- Consider the color – live la vida loca unless you plan on wearing them every day. A neutral pair in black (blase!) is good but olive or wine would be even better!
