With temperatures falling as fast as dominoes in a viral video, a new pair of winter
boots or shoes is an essential for any wardrobe. The chilly weather means that
keeping your feet cosy is a practical necessity of this season’s footwear, whilst the
festive months also bring with them office parties, New Year’s events, and a great
excuse to bring glam and sparkle to an evening out.
Lengthening evenings mean many choose to hit the bars and restaurants straight
from the office, meaning the perfect winter footwear must combine both practicality
and style. Rather than trawling the high street for shoes, shopping on the internet is
a great way to find and compare a range of styles. Online department stores feature
between; finding that on-trend pair of transitional office/eveningwear shoes has
never been easier.
Full length winter boots may keep feet toasty during the day but they can feel overly
bulky for a night out. Channel the autumn/winter ankle boot trend instead and
choose a heeled style which will work for the office as well as looking great in even
the most chic bars. Fortunately, following its arrival last year, the utility-style boot
is back. High-heeled ankle boots are given a weather-appropriate twist with rubber
soles and stable heels. Boots in mixed materials were showcased by the likes of
Michael Kors and Giorgio Armani, and have also filtered down to the high street.
Suede, leather and knitted fabrics are all fab for keeping feet warm during the day,
whilst being appropriately fashionable for a night out.
If boots are a no-no for the office, but there is still a long walk to contend with
from workplace to bar, heeled styles can be unforgiving. Lower heeled shoes and
elegant pumps abound this autumn/winter, and leading the pack are celebrities like
Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria and Lea Michele, who have all swapped stiletto and
platform styles for kitten heels and classic pumps.
Style should not be neglected as winter approaches and instead this is a great
opportunity to showcase the season’s coolest trends. Practical boots and shoes
are perfect as office to eveningwear, and will contend with even the most wintery of
weather.
