Boots are big this year, which is great because when the weather gets cold, boots are a nice way to dress up and stay warm. Wear them with everything -- skirts, dresses, pants, you name it. But no boots and cropped pants, please -- that's not a good look on anyone.
What's the strategy for wearing your boots with everything? Simple.
Tuck and roll. Or, more accurately, roll and tuck -- to keep your skinny jeans where they're supposed to be in your boots, cuff them first, so that they're sitting just above your ankle. Then put your boots on and you're set.
Go wide. If you don't want to tuck, wear your boots under your pants. This works best with a wide leg jean or trouser, one that floats freely over the shaft of the boot. Make sure the hem is the right length, too.
Skirt the issue. Boots are great with a skirt, as long as the proportion is right. Tall boots are the most versatile, at any heel hight; wear them with a short or long skirt (although the best look is knee-high boots and a knee-length skirt).
Don't save your boots for cold weather or a special occaision; wear them out and about, and dress your look up a litle. But make sure that your boots are polished and clean, and that the soles and heels aren't wearing out. If they are, visit the cobbler and have them taken care of.
