Desserts: fashion trends
Features and Benefits
Desert boots - suede boots with laces that reach the ankle. They traditionally have two pairs of holes without eyelets and always have a flat sole, which was originally made of leather or durable rubber. Today they have been replaced by other modern materials.
Modern deserts are copies of the boots worn by the British military in the deserts of Egypt, hence the name (from the English Desert - desert). Local residents personally sewed such shoes, and very soon the soldiers appreciated its lightness and comfort, and began to use it as everyday shoes.
Today, deserters have not lost their advantage; they still remain lightweight, comfortable and durable. They successfully sit on their feet, even when they are full and wide, due to the fact that they unlace on the instep. Therefore, special attention should be paid to them for those girls who constantly suffer in tight and tight shoes.
For a long time, deserts were exclusively men's shoes, like most low-heeled boots. Today these are unisex boots that can be worn by everyone, without exception.
Models
Flat
Flat-soled deserts are a classic casual shoe. Casual boots look great with everyday wardrobe items, but are best worn with jeans or trousers.
Deserts, like all short boots, visually “cut” the leg in half, especially for dark-colored models. Therefore, it is better to wear them with trousers or tight tights to match.
Wedge heel
There is an opinion that it is impossible to fit deserts into an office wardrobe, but this statement does not apply to wedge models.
These are very feminine models that can even be worn with a business suit. However, for this you need to have good taste so that the image does not turn out to be ridiculous. In this case, it is also better to choose a trouser suit with tapered trousers that will blend into boots. Slender girls can afford trapezoidal mid-thigh skirts.
Heels
Deserts with heels are a rare occurrence, but such models are also found. They retain their main concept - they remain comfortable and comfortable, so you will not find deserters on a stiletto heel. They always have a thick and stable heel that allows you to feel confident and feminine at the same time.
Suede
Traditionally, deserts were made exclusively from suede leather, which is ideal for dry desert climates. But in our region, boots are most often worn in the off-season, which is accompanied by rain, slush and mud - suede does not tolerate all this very well. Therefore, it is best to wear suede deserts in dry weather in order to fully appreciate the comfort and attractiveness of this material.
Leather
For those who don't want to give up on deserts in wet weather, designers have come up with deserts made from smooth matte leather. They are not afraid of moisture and look very attractive. They are also to some extent more solid, so they will be better combined with a business suit, in other words, as well as with less formal clothes.
Color solutions
Traditional deserts were sewn from suede in natural shades, and this trend has continued to this day.
Most often, you can find models in shades of brown, beige, gray or black. The basic color scheme gives a lot of room for imagination, allowing you to match the same pair of shoes with different clothes.
However, it cannot do without bright colors. Today you can find deserts in green, yellow, orange, pink and blue.
If colored shoes seem too daring for you, but you want a little variety, opt for multi-colored laces. They can be changed, depending on the color of your clothes, to get the most stylish and harmonious look.
What to wear with?
With socks
Today, many short boots and high top sneakers are worn so that socks are visible from under the bootleg. This controversial trend has emerged precisely thanks to deserters, which not only can, but should also be worn with socks.
These can be plain options or multi-colored, bright, decorated with various patterns. It all depends on your imagination and the courage that you are ready to show when drawing bows. Of course, this is not the best solution for a business look, but in everyday life, peeking socks will look very stylish.
With pants and jeans
Skinny pants or jeans are the most common combination with deserters. This is especially true of chinos, which also came to us from a military wardrobe, and look more than appropriate with these boots.
Just tuck them in so that the socks are visible from under the boot and complete your look with a T-shirt or stylishly wrinkled shirt. Light negligence in the image will come in handy here.
Dresses and skirts
Girls rarely wear dresses and skirts with deserters, and there is a reason for that. The thing is that it is very difficult to choose a suitable skirt for them.
Stylists do not recommend wearing a mini, because the boots themselves “cut” the leg in half, and a short skirt does the same. However, it can be a good solution for slender girls with a good figure.
An excellent solution is an airy dress or boho-style skirt. It can be made of fine silk or chiffon, and you can complement it with a coarse-knit sweater.
Outerwear
In this case, again, you should turn to the military wardrobe, which will work for you. This does not mean at all that you need to wear military-style jackets, but if you feel like it, then they will be a good solution.
For the rest, it is enough to recall the outerwear that we borrowed from the military - a bomber jacket, a trench coat, a leather jacket, a parka. All of them will look great with deserters without creating any contradictions in the image.
