Black boots are a year-round staple in any women's wardrobe. They look great with a mini in the summer months. As fall approaches, swap your skirts for a jumper or cute cardigan. When the weather turns, tuck in your skinny jeans and throw on your boyfriend's cosy knitwear - an easy way to get your Kate Moss fix after the untimely demise of her Topshop line. If you don't own a pair (or three) of boots already, consider investing: more versatile footwear has yet to be invented. Black boots are perfect for the workplace, the weekend, and going out just about anywhere - read on for ways to pair your footwear for all occasions, any time of year.
Professional attire: Autumn: Your boots will look sharp with a blazer, turtleneck, and plaid skirt. Muted accessories work best for this look: try a string of pearls and simple earrings. Consider a classic brooch. Winter: Black jeans and a soft cardigan (think pastels) will pair nicely with a crisp, professional blouse - think pinstripes. Chunky earrings and bangle bracelets add pizazz. A colourful scarf can accent any patterns or subtle highlights. Don't forget warm socks - wool, of course, is best. Spring: Transition your winter outfit into lighter colours. Layering is key - warm your palate with the weather. Consider experimenting with a new hairstyle or hat - you'll have an entire spring footwear budget to spend! Summer: Can you get away with pairing boots and a linen shift dress? You probably can, if you find a light three-quarter sleeve blazer.
Weekend wear: Wear your boots with skinny jeans year-round. Rotate the top half of your wardrobe according to season. No one will notice that you only shop at H&M and TopShop - they'll be too busy looking at your feet. Try a new look - your boots are sure to make you feel confident. Maybe it's time to spring for a leather jacket or Balenciaga handbag to match?
Date night: Dress for location. The professional outfits suggested above dress up well - touch up your work makeup and don't be afraid to rely on eye makeup - night makeup looks great with black boots.
Style inspirations: The Duchess of Cambridge has a famous collection of boots (and great looks to go with them). Just one pair of black boots in your wardrobe opens the door to all kinds of stylish combinations. Your boots were made for walking - who knows what places they'll take you?
