HOW TO STYLE
COMBAT BOOTS
INSPIRATION AND STYLING IDEAS FOR ONE OF THIS SEASON’S TRENDIEST BOOTS
If you haven’t discovered the combat boots yet, you are in for a treat! This is one of the hottest and most versatile boots this season!
The best part? They are not a one-season wonder and will be around for a good while, so are safe to invest in! Just think of Dr Martens boots: these guys have been around for decades!
I adore these boots for their comfort and ability to raise the style stakes of pretty much any outfit.
So what can you wear the combat boots with?
The short answer is with everything!
midi and maxi dresses & skirts
Combat boots have a very strong masculine feel to them and this quality is what gives them the ability to pretty much single-handedly transform the ‘mood’ of the look.
They tone down the feminine element of skirts and dresses and create a really stylish juxtaposition of girlie and edgy.
This works really well for casual looks when you want to wear skirts and dresses without feeling overdressed.
mini dresses & skirts
The masculine vibe of the combat boots cools down the sexy vibe that short skirts and dresses can have.
If you want to even further tone down the look, opt for dark tights and a longer jacket/coat.
winter shorts
Don’t think of shorts as the summer staple only. Shorts in structured thick fabrics can work very well in winter as well. Combat boots become the perfect footwear to finish off the look.
Just like with mini skirts/dresses, they tone down the look and make the shorts perfectly suitable for casual daytime looks.
Looks with leather shorts are particularly on trend!
trousers
Combat boots will effortlessly work with trousers as well. Obviously, jeans are a no-brainer, but for a more interesting look opt for leather trousers or tapered wool trousers. This is a great way to transition your work trousers into the weekend wardrobe.
