5 practical and cool tips to match the boots with the outerwear
A guide to the best fashion combinations (already spotted in the streetstyle looks) to discover which outerwear to choose, starting from the boots
It’s all a matter of proportions. A simple rule that can lead to an amazing styling even when boots have to be matched to the outerwear. Regardless of the model – topic that we will be facing in this article later -, it’s important to create a visual balance between the height of the boots and the edge of the coat, and to choose the right color carefully.
Ton-sur-ton is always a good idea, whether the chromatic contrasts require higher expertise. So here is the second tip : start from already known combos, such as black and white, nude and black, camel and brown suede.
Now, let’s analyse together how Fall-Winter looks should be made, with examples seen around the streets and that can be easily copied.
The knee boots are to be worn with a short hem to slender one’s body, leading the attention to the length of the cuissardes. Greenlight for mini skirts matched with short biker coats and oversize blazers. For those that love long dresses and skirts, the outerwear has to be left opened, to show the shoes in all of their beauty.
The knee boots that wink at the Y2Ks (stiletto heel and sharp toe) ask for super short outerwear such as duvet or coats long till the waist to pay tribute to the decade whose icons are Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez.
The midi hem is for sure the most versatile. The boots are lost under the skirt that slightly touches the legs : in this case, our tip is to wear a biker, shearling or leather jacket leaned on the hips. Lastly, when taking into account trousers, ankle boots are perfect combined with a trench or a statement coat.
