Tall boots can be worn over jeans and skinny trousers but that is not all. In fact, tall boots worn with dresses and skirts is the ultimate in feminine chic and can be worn on all occasions. However, the trick is in how you wear the boots with the dresses and skirts.
How to wear dresses with tall boots
Sometimes, the combination could look quite awkward and gauche. Some dresses and skirts are just not meant to be worn with tall boots; you need to figure out which would best suit your boots. Here are five tips where you can pull up a combination, without making a terrible mess of it by matching your pair of boots with the colour and style of your dress.
1. Length of the dress or skirt
Determine the length of your boots and adjust your dress or skirt accordingly. Now, if you are going to wear tall boots with the dress covering it almost midway then you will obviously appear frumpy and nun like. The same goes for an ankle length boot where your dress ore skirt should not cover it. There must always be a margin of at least an inch of leg peak where the hem and top part of the boot meet. This will give a balanced look as well as make you appear stylish instead of looking like you had just stepped out from the convent.
2. Dress and skirt style should match your boot style
Do not make the mistake of a wearing party dress with combat boots or a summer dress with pointed stiletto style boots. For instance, if you are wearing a floral dress, then delicate cowboy boots will complement well with the dress. Likewise, pointed, narrow boots with at least thin two inches heels will look great with a sparkly party dress.
3. Make the choice
Most women prefer to wear leggings or tights with their dresses, skirts and boots. This is applicable during the cold winters but when it comes to summer months; it would not be too practical to pull on your boots. However, during mild weathers you can still flaunt those boots in accordance with the style of outfit you choose. For such occasions, you can opt for light leather boots and team it up with denim or plaid outfits.
4. Add texture to your boots
You can achieve this by wearing tights which are patterned or coloured, but make sure that it does not clash with your dress and boots. In winter, you are bound to wear tights so make sure that, you do it right by selecting a pair that will complement the boots and dress or skirt.
5. Lighten up your colour choice
Just because it is winter does not mean that you should layer yourself in drab colours to appear warm. You can mix and match the colour of your outfit to the boots without overdoing it or restraining yourself either. Pair up your brown boots with light sweater or coat and tights in matching colours, which will give you an appearance of some vibrancy. If you are wearing black boots then you could wear a brown coat and matching tights, not necessarily in the same hue but in similar tones.
These few tips ought to set you working on your boot ensemble which can be great fun dress up, particularly during the winter season. Boots can be used during all seasons but by knowing which is the best option, you will definitely be making fashion statements.
