Katy's current tips: get ahead and grab yourself a pair of A/W boots
Boots are a key part of anybodies Autumn/Winter but this year in particular we have seen a massive selection of boots released for the A/W market. From feminine stiletto style all the way to military; there is a style for everyone.
We are seeing a rise in the chunky heel and the outer buckle. Texture and layers are making a comeback with the use of skins and pattern at the forefront. There are a wide selection of ankle boots on the high street, they are looking to be more popular than the classic knee high.
Casual boots are known as the most versatile type of any footwear. Designers are creating more and more diverse silhouettes, from the classic Chelsea boot through to the platformed cut out boots we are seeing more of this year. High heels and boots have collided, with a range of heeled ankle boots hitting the high streets; transforming the military trends of 2012.
When choosing a colour, black is always a safe bet. With the array of materials being used to texture the boots the straight black boot can now be much more interesting. Oxblood red and Deep Ink blue have set the moody trends for A/W 2013 and I personally love both of the shades.
Menswear is seeing the merging of colours such as the Dr Martins and the Ted Bakers shown on the image. The mens ranges of boots are also versatile and dynamic, there is a big trend in military style boots, more clean cut than those in 2012. The rustic look is no longer a priority and a new polished pair of chunky Martins may just do the job. Men also have the choice of the smarter ankle boot such as the Jeffrey West Cuban boot shown on the image.
This winter we will see the knee high boot turn towards skin and fur. Exotic skins and a deep rich palette will keep this long silhouette classy and chic.
So when the weather turns for the worst, there's really no need to step down from your platforms or your wedges, just pop your foot into a boot. This way we all get to keep warm whilst 3 inches off the ground; heat does rise after-all.
