Calling all shoe-holics. This one’s for you!
By now we’ve got the fall 2015 trends down pat, but it’s now time to bring the focus to our lovely feet. Let’s face it. Shoes totally make the outfit, right? Thanks to this season’s collections strutting down the runway, legs were no doubt one of the fave body parts to show off. Whether it was via slits that went up to there or way-over-the-knee boots, legs got some serious love this season.
During the fall and winter, living in the northern hemisphere definitely puts many restrictions in the shoe department (aka boot only zone). But just because of the colder temperatures, it doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice stylish footwear. If you’re looking for something that is both warm and comfortable, we suggest you to look to Gucci and Balenciaga’s fur-lined and fur-trimmed shoes for inspiration. Sky-high heels are definitely not the most practical type during this season (or at all). Luckily, our feet have Chanel and Miu Miu to thank because this season, the lower the heel, the better. And baring legs in below zero climates isn’t the smartest of ideas, so why not opt for over-the-knee boots (think Dior and Versace) for the chic compromise.
