FA S H I O N Best foot forward IT’S NOT WINTER WITHOUT THE PROMISE OF A NEW PAIR OF BOOTS - OR THREE! - ON THE HORIZON. AMY NORBURY ROUNDS UP SOME OF THIS SEASON’S STYLE WINNERS THIS season’s boots are made for walking, wearing and wowing, with classic styling, bold colours and head-turners all vying for attention across the catwalks and high streets. Boots are the ubiquitous footwear choice for winter, but this season they’re not just a blank canvas to complement your winter wardrobe; they’re here to take make style waves in their own right. This season’s penchant for showy boots is mostly thanks to those jaw-dropping Swarovski crystalencrusted slouchy Saint Laurent beauties which immediately made it to the top of every fashion editor’s wish list after their debut at the AW17 Paris Fashion Week. And while the nearly £7,000 price tag might be a step too far for most of us mere mortals, their influence has been far-reaching, with elements of the already iconic design seen all over the high street this winter. While blinged up boots are great for making a statement, if you’re looking for a more solid investment then focus on the Saint Laurent boots’ deliciously slouchy silhouette and the funky yet practical Eighties-style cone heel, both of which can be found on boots galore this season. The slouch lends a casual air, perfect for throwing on with an oversized jumper dress or over leggings or super-skinny jeans for easy peasy daytime styling, and the cone heel gives just that little hint of glam as opposed to a flat boot, while still being comfortable enough for all-day wear. Classic styles are back at the forefront, albeit with a slight twist. You really can’t go wrong with a blockheeled knee-high pair, but instead of the usual black or tan leather, opt for a rich burgundy or ditch leather altogether in favour of soft suede or velvet. The same applies to ankle boots; while the shape is a total classic, look out for hot red, funky prints and the season’s boot colour du jour - white. Forget the issue of practicality, white boots were spotted all over the AW17 catwalks and show no signs of going away any time soon. If you’re sticking to safe, solid colours then embellishments including buckles, shearling and cowgirl-style stitching all add a little something extra. If you invested well last year and are only in need of one new boot style this season, make it the pointed, thin-heeled sock boot. These second-skin, easy-topull-on boot and sock hybrid are light as air on the foot and give the ultra-flattering illusion of super slim ankles due to their stretchy hugging effect. With ankle, knee high and even thigh-high versions, they’ll keep you toasty warm all winter long. TABITHA LEATHER KNEE HIGH BOOTS, £160, JONES BOOTMAKER. 54
