Boots: fashion trends
Let's find out which shoes are in fashion, which brand to choose and what to wear trendy shoes with.
Types and models
Derby
Low shoes with an open type of lacing, that is, the straps with holes for the laces are not sewn into the base, but sewn on top, in America they are sometimes called bluchers shoes. These shoes came to the women's wardrobe from the men's, so most often they are unisex shoes, although designers are trying to make women's models more neat and graceful.
Many derby shoes are embellished with perforations, but since perforated shoes are brogues, it would be more appropriate to call them derby brogues. In the classical interpretation, they are sewn from leather or suede, but modern models can be made from textiles, denim and other unusual materials.
Monkey
Low shoes, which fall under a separate classification, since they do not belong either to shoes with laces or to shoes without fasteners. Monks are buckle shoes that were invented for monks, hence the name (from the English monk - monk).
These are classic shoes that look like derby or oxford shoes, except that instead of laces, they have one or two buckles.Monks look very elegant so they work well with an office dress code, but they will also look great with casual wear.
Louboutins
In the assortment of the Christian Louboutin brand, you can find not only the famous shoes with red soles, but also various high-heeled ankle boots. There are models with stilettos and thick heels, with a sharp and rounded toe and various decorative elements. Straps and buckles are popular, there is fringe, perforation and much more.
Fans rarely remain indifferent to the designer's creations, especially since a large selection of ankle boots allows you not to part with your favorite louboutins even in the autumn-winter period.
Low
Low boots are called low shoes, which include all models with and without laces. The height of such shoes ends in the area of the bone, sometimes it reaches the ankle, but in no case higher.
They can be flat, wedge, heeled, depending on the style you choose. Low boots are ideal for the off-season, when it is already cold in the shoes and it is too early to put on boots.
Transparent
Invisible boots are most often made of silicone, and their main purpose is the same as for rubber boots - to protect feet from moisture. They are not afraid of puddles, mud, snow and chemicals. It is the perfect solution for bad weather, but also a stylish accessory.
The advantage of transparent boots is that you can put on bright socks under the bottom and cheer yourself up and everyone around you. Some brands like Cheap Monday suggest we wear transparent barefoot shoes. But it only looks beautiful on the catwalk and on social media photos. In practice, boots fog up and stick to the skin, so it's best to wear them with nice socks.
On a hairpin
Stiletto heels look very elegant, a girl in such shoes acquires a special charm and sexuality. These boots almost never go out of fashion, but they are not very suitable for everyday wear. Ankle boots with stiletto heels will complement your business or festive look, will be an excellent completion of your party look. For everyday wear, it is better to choose a wedge heel or a stable thick heel.
Sharp-nosed
Pointed toe boots are a classic of sorts. They can become the main accent of the image, but they can only serve as an elegant addition, it all depends on the model you choose. Now the trend is models that look like real art objects, and therefore require some courage.
Cowboy-style boots with large eyelets, embroidery, gouache-like flowers and shiny metallic leather or glittered models. It will definitely not be boring!
With lightning in front
Front zipper is a fashion trend, but it is not only decorative, but also functional. The vertical line, especially when combined with an extended toe, visually extends the leg. Therefore, such a model is ideal for full and short girls, and for everyone who wants to make their legs visually longer.
With straps
Another trend this season is boots with straps that can be located anywhere. For example, an ankle strap looks very spicy and adorns the leg, and if you want to add more grunge to the look, choose models with thick straps that adorn the vamp.
Velcro
Velcro boots are a great solution for every day. They are easy to put on and take off, comfortable and functional. They are especially suitable for girls with a full leg and a high instep, as the Velcro allows you to adjust the width of the boot.

Thanks to the experimentation of designers, military boots can be rugged or elegant. Most often, there are massive lace-up models that resemble ankle boots. However, you can also find more feminine heeled shoes, decorated with graceful straps and rivet patterns.
Sports
Recently, more and more shoes designed for sports and outdoor activities are becoming relevant in the urban context. These include Timberland work boots, running shoes, and mountain boots called hikers (or hiking boots).
These are lace-up boots with massive soles, so they are often equated with Timberlands, although they have a lot of differences. Since safety and reliability are a priority, hikers are sure to have a lightweight, tough and non-slip outsole. The inner part is soft, the vamp is cut so that moisture does not get inside. The height is optimal for ankle stabilization, which provides maximum comfort during long walks.
Casual
The basis of the casual style - everyday looks should be comfortable and stylish. Many people forget about the second point, although this is exactly what the genius Armani had in mind when, in the late 90s, he proposed to combine jeans with a simple T-shirt and a classic jacket.
