boot trends Fall 09

Let’s face it, Fall is all about the boots! This year there are a few standouts. One is the over the knee boot. You’ve probably seen magazines comparing this style boot to the one Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman. While we loved Julia Roberts in that movie, we consider the way she wore them a “Don’t”! I mean…she was playing a prostitute after all. So, we think you should wear the over the knee boot with leggings, skinny jeans, or opaque stockings. On top, you should add some volume. Don’t go with something skin-tight or super revealing.

Boots in this observation:

We love the look with a full mini, opaque tights, and a long cardigan. It also wears well with skinny jeans, a fluid tank, an over sized cardigan, and a scarf. The perfect outfit for a football game on a Fall afternoon.

The other standout is the Buckle Boot. For the most part this boot is wrapped and buckled. It very street-chic, very casual, and very edgy. There is a version of this boot out there for everyone. The tailored girl would most likely go for the Fendi. While the rocker chic would gravitate toward the Balmain or the Chloe. The casual chic probably loves the Rocket Dog Slinger. If you don’t see one you like here, believe me you will find one!
