When it comes to cold-weather dressing, sweaters and scarves are always must-haves, but what we truly get jazzed up about is a new pair of boots. And let's just say we have a hunch that we're not the only ones with a fondness for flaunting the latest footwear: you know you do it too!
Apparently, a shroomy shade is quite the popular choice; Jessica Alba also favored it when she selected a pair of Boutique 9's Iliana Ankle Boots ($200) for her arrival at the JFK airport late last month. Her carefully curated layers are oh-so layover ready and we like how she combined warmth with style by contrasting her cozy outfit with rugged lace-up shoes.
Now that we've fully acquainted you with the how-to-wear aspect of this trend, it's time to delve into the fun stuff: the actual goods you need to execute the look! Luckily, there's a bevy of utilitarian boots on the market to get you on your stylesetting way. If you've got a yen for a neutral version à la Alba or Bilson, we suggest checking out Pour La Victoire's Deon Ankle Boots ($345),
Don't feel like splurging? Happily you don't need to spend a fortune on this footwear; Jeffrey Campbell's Boot Camp Boots ($175), or William Rast's Perforated Lace-Up Booties ($398)—the latter is from their F/W 10 runway show—are also affordable, interesting options!—Liza Kaplan
Find all these trends at the CMC’s LA Fashion Market, Monday- Thursday, January 17-20, 2011. Boutique 9 will be exhibiting at SELECT (Mon-Thu), Jeffrey Campbell & Pour La Victore will be at TRANSIT LA Shoe Show (Tue-Thu) and William Rast will be in their new Area 4 showroom, suite B429.
