Lace-up boots
Women's lace-up boots are both practical and stylish shoes.
They have been in fashion for a long time, but with each new season, designers surprise us by introducing new models that are not similar to the previous ones.
Advantages
Lace-up shoes are good primarily because they allow you to fix shoes on the leg.
But this is not its only advantage. To date, lacing is most often used as a decorative element.
Lacing today is complemented by a variety of models of boots: both leather and suede, and high and low, and with heels and flat soles. This variety of shoes will be discussed further.
What models are
High
Feminine lace-up over the knee boots look most impressive.
These boots reach the knee or even to the middle of the thigh. This allows you to emphasize the beauty of women's legs and even make them visually slimmer.
Lacing on such high boots, as a rule, performs an exclusively decorative role. The boots themselves are fastened with a zipper located on the side. Thus, the girls do not have to unlace their shoes every time, spending a lot of time on it.
Lace-up high boots are best paired with short dresses or mid-length skirts.
The hem of a skirt or dress should reach the edge of the over the knee boots, but not hide it. However, a bow with jeans is no less spectacular. True, keep in mind that they should be narrower so that the fabric does not bulge over the narrow top of the boots.
Short
Cropped boots look no less stylish.
Lace-up flat boots are popular among young girls. This model resembles rough men's shoes, but, nevertheless, fits perfectly into feminine bows, combined with dresses and skirts.
Cropped boots are most often chosen for the off-season, when you still don’t want to change into too warm shoes, and the weather does not allow you to flaunt in shoes.
Men's style
Another shoe option that came to us from the men's wardrobe is high lace-up boots with rough soles.
These boots have recently appeared frequently in designer collections. Not only classic black boots of this type are popular, but also brighter models - sky blue, red, coffee. The combination of such a rough cut and a light color creates an interesting contrast.
Suede
In terms of materials, the most popular are leather and suede lace-up boots.
Suede is a material that requires special care. But even despite this, many girls are happy to buy high lace-up suede boots. Such shoes look very elegant due to the combination of a high top and an interesting textured material. Lace-up boots are able to emphasize the slimness of the legs.
Suede lace-up shoes fit into a variety of looks: from business to casual.
These boots look great in combination with a classic suit or a tailored dress. And if you prefer casual style - dilute your look with a soft cashmere sweater or knitted accessories. This combination of textures will play into your hands, making the image more solid.
Winter boots with laces
Lace-up shoes are relevant not only in the off-season.
With the advent of cold weather, lace-up winter boots are popular. They are distinguished from autumn models by the presence of insulation (artificial or natural) and decor features. Winter boots, in addition to lacing, can be decorated with fur trim or lapels.
Lace-up front
Special attention should be paid to the location of the lacing.
It can be located both along the entire shaft, and reach only the middle of the boot. In most models, lacing is located in front of the boots.
But in some models, it is shifted to its side or even placed behind.
In such cases, lacing already plays the role of a decorative element. Although there are models with two types of lacing at once: functional in front and decorative on the side or back.
On heels or stilettos
Many girls cannot imagine their life without high heels.
Lace-up heeled boots are usually high-top shoes that fit perfectly into formal outfits. These boots can be combined with dresses, skirts or suits.
Regardless of the height of the heel, these boots already look impressive. This allows you to choose a model to your liking. If you feel confident in shoes with heels, look at stiletto boots or high heels. But for those who are not used to walking in such shoes, it is better to choose a model with a low and stable heel.
How beautiful to lace up and what to wear
Lace-up boots give a lot of room for imagination.
Besides the fact that they can be combined with things from different styles, the appearance of such shoes can be changed in a few minutes, just by lacing them differently. Lacing can be classic, cross, straight - the choice is yours. In high boots, at the end of the lacing, the ends of the laces should be tied with a bow and left in sight, but in low boots they can be hidden inside.
If we talk about the combination of lace-up boots with things from the women's wardrobe, it all depends on the model of boots and personal preferences. But let's look at a few main rules that you should listen to when creating fashionable bows.
With winter clothes
In the cold season, girls have a great choice of how to complement their everyday look: a fur coat, a coat or a down jacket.
If you choose low-cut shoes, choose a simple down jacket or a stylish cropped coat for such boots.
Classic coats are best combined with high boots in a feminine style. Under them, you can also pick up a fur coat.
But, if you wear over the knee boots, it should be shortened so that the high boots are completely open. Stylists advise wearing long fur coats with such boots wide open, which is not entirely practical in our climate.
With jeans
Jeans are a completely versatile shoe that goes with everything - lace-up boots are no exception.
Under cropped boots with lacing, you can pick up tabernacles and boyfriends, but with high boots you should wear only skinny jeans.
With dresses
With a dress, lace-up boots can be combined in different ways.
Flat boots in combination with a dress look very contrasting.For this look, you can choose a knitted tunic or sweater dress.
A knitted dress with a straight cut will also look good in a similar image. In the cold season, it will not be superfluous to complement such a bow with tight tights or leggings.
Under high boots it is recommended to choose more feminine dresses. These can be models from satin, guipure or fine yarn.
With skirts
Along with dresses, skirts can also be matched with lace-up boots.
This gives even more room for creativity, because the skirt can be complemented with a shirt, T-shirt or sweater so that the image does not turn out to be too “girlish”.
Lace-up boots can take a variety of forms. Choose the option that is closer to you, and do not be afraid to experiment with style.
