Stocking boots

The love of women for high boots is understandable. They emphasize the beauty and slenderness of the legs, add elegance, femininity and sexuality to the image, which fascinates men. And the owner of fashionable shoes feels attractive and adorable.

Treads - boots just above the knee, they have been in trend for several years. In the 2017 season, stylists advise to go further, more precisely - higher, paying attention to the models called stocking boots. In the early 2000s, they first gained popularity, and after so many years of oblivion, the trend is at its peak again.

The height of stocking boots is usually up to mid-thigh.

The main feature of this shoe is the stretch fabric. It fits snugly, however, allows you to move freely without feeling discomfort. Visually, the legs become slimmer and longer, and what girl does not dream of such a combination!

Initially, stocking boots were considered demi-season shoes. They not only added charm to their mistress, but also protected her from rain and wind in cool weather. However, winter and summer options were added to the spring-autumn options.

Winter boots are insulated, they can be decorated with fur trim, pebbles, fringes. Summer boots are sewn from thin perforated leather, textiles, there are original lace models. Shoes with open toes and heels look very catchy, besides, they are comfortable in them in the summer heat. But make sure that the pedicure is at its best. Bright patterns on the nails will look spectacular.

This season, designers are not limited to classic options; expressive decor complements the couturier's models. Fringe, chains, rivets, locks, lace, embroidery, inserts of a different texture, leather embossing decorate fashionable boots.

High lace-up models are popular. Their plus in showiness and the ability to pull up boots to a comfortable width. Although often lacing is exclusively decorative.

Famous designers in the 2017 season offer women of fashion quite bold options. Bright and daring models with a shiny surface from the fashion house Dior. The assortment includes juicy colors - blue, green, red. Eye-catching heel: rectangular and transparent. Such a hit is effective not only on the catwalks.

Boots in patent leather are presented in the Balenciaga collection. They will attract attention at any party.

Suede models without a heel are in the new Ralph Lauren collection. The elegant suede shoes are warm and cozy. The big advantage is that the usual everyday wardrobe will go well with her.

Other well-known brands also presented their models: Marc Jacobs, Rick Owens and others.

What stocking boots are made of - let's talk about that. Of course, the most practical option is leather shoes. It is versatile, able to withstand off-season showers, frost and slush in winter.

Boots-stockings are sewn not from ordinary, but soft stretch leather. It stretches perfectly and completely fits the bootleg. Models made of embossed leather, imitation of a snake or crocodile are also relevant.

Lacquered boots also do not require a lot of trouble, but, unlike the "leather classics", they are not intended for everyday wear, this is an evening option. Moreover, lacquer models should be exclusively with high heels. They will sit perfectly on slender legs. It is good to combine them with evening dresses, tight jeans. You will look stylish and sexy, and, believe me, you will not go unnoticed.

Stocking boots made of suede look noble and elegant. Visually, they make the legs slimmer, so it is better for curvy women of fashion to opt for them. But natural suede requires more care than leather so that the shoes always look their best. And rains, mud, puddles will prevent you from wearing boots as often as you would like.

Most manufacturers are dominated by practical tones. Boots in black, dark blue, brown, gray shades go well with any color of clothing. Lovers of shocking will be offered unusual colors: white, pale pink, beige, red, cream, olive, burgundy, red.

Real women of fashion prefer a universal color not black, but gray. Any look becomes elegant, sophisticated and casual. Regardless of the material - leather, suede, velor, textiles - stocking boots will be appropriate both at work and at celebrations.

A classic little black dress with matching gray accessories will perfectly match them. Milk-white, beige dresses, blouses, cardigans will also be appropriate. Turquoise skirts and dresses will add restraint and elegance to the image, adding brightness to it.

In boots with stiletto heels, the legs look amazing - beautiful and slender, so women of fashion prefer these particular models, however, you need to think about convenience and safety. Moreover, there are interesting alternatives.

For everyday wear, boots with a low, stable heel or no heel at all are suitable. They are comfortable even on ice, which is important in winter. Look for models in black or brown non-shiny leather with flat soles, they will look chic on your feet. Lovers of long walks and parties, where they have to spend so much time on their feet, should take a closer look at these models.

Wedge stocking boots are also comfortable and feminine. In addition, the high sole visually makes the figure look slimmer and taller. The same effect on the stiletto heels.

When buying shoes, you need to pay attention to important things:

• Let's start with the material. If the boots are leather, make sure they don't shed. Look at your palms to see if there are any traces left.

• Tall suede boots must be of the same high quality, otherwise the stockings will crawl down. If the shoes are made of faux suede, they should be duplicated.

• The quality of the shoes will be indicated by hard heels and socks, thanks to which the shoes are comfortable to wear. Make sure that the heel is stable, not "wobbly", otherwise your legs will tire quickly.

• The tops should not have folds, it is unacceptable if they slide off. If your boots don't fit perfectly, try on others better.
• The zipper should be easy to close. It is unacceptable if the upper edge will overtighten the shin. This is not only inconvenient, but also ugly: a nasty "roller" will hang over the boot.

Stocking boots are versatile, however, there are exceptions. It is better for girls with uneven legs to avoid such shoes, as they will accentuate your little flaw. It is also not recommended to choose boots and stocking boots for plump girls of small stature. They better look for options below the knee.

However, full legs are not a sentence. The main thing is height (medium and tall) and "evenness" of the legs. By the way, curvy ladies are very fond of stocking boots, because the stretch takes the shape of a leg, and there are no problems with zipper fastening.

Owners of wide legs and full legs should heed the advice of stylists. Black and dark blue boots will visually lengthen your legs. Stocking boots made of elastic leather have special elastic bands, and you should also pay attention to them. It is better to refuse from bright decor - chains, metal parts, lacing, fringes and other adornments: they will "weigh down" the image even more. Also discard patent leather boots.

If the girls are very thin, then boots to the middle of the lower leg are recommended for them, as they will visually add volume. You can buy shoes of medium height with lacing, it will "weigh down" and ideally "pull up" the boots on the leg. Light shades, including white or light beige, are suitable for thin ones. True, such shoes should be worn in sunny weather. Both exquisite white boots among the mud and mud on them will look ridiculous.

If you are of medium to tall height and slender legs, then almost any model will suit you. However, avoid a lot of horizontal detail on the shaft, this will visually shorten the legs. To lengthen them, choose tights in the same shade as the stocking boots.

In high boots, you can safely go to a get-together, to the cinema, to meet friends, or to go for walks.But they are not recommended for a business look, official celebrations.

There are nuances for an informal setting, the main thing here is not to overdo it. The stigma of vulgarity has been removed from the high boots, and there is no need to cross this line. Otherwise, your image will not attract general attention, but, on the contrary, repulse.

Therefore, no deep neckline and cutouts, you should not wear translucent and lacquered things. Avoid a lot of jewelry, artsy accessories, and fishnet tights.

And now about what you can and should wear with high boots. Skirts and dresses will reveal all the beauty of legs and boots. Ideally, if the hem is slightly lower or slightly higher (literally a couple of centimeters) of the boots.

For a slimmer figure, wear a short A-line skirt. Flared and fluffy skirts will suit young skinny girls. Skirts and dresses with asymmetrical bottoms will help you create a feminine yet flirty look.

If we talk about dresses, then all styles, colors and fabrics will do. You can experiment: flowing and knitted fabrics, silk and knitted, loose and fitted (not tight - it will look vulgar), plain and patterned.

With boots (high or medium length), shorts will look interesting. But you don't need to choose short models. Stocking boots are already a provocation, and with tight mini-shorts they will look vulgar.

Tight trousers, leggings, or jeans are fine if your feet are in perfect shape and your shoes are the right fit. Of course, you can wear short breeches or loose trousers. But then all the beauty of the boots will be hidden. If you decide to combine stockings and breeches (in fairness, we note that not all stylists recommend breeches with stocking boots), then the trousers should be tucked in, and the boots should not be too high.

High-fitting shoes will look great with oversized things, that is, a loose fit. Long sweaters and tunics made of light or dense fabric will do. The image can be complemented with a scarf or belt.

From outerwear, not too thick jackets, fur coats, coats or raincoats are well suited. The latter can be with short sleeves, but long gloves. Classic models with an asymmetrical hem are also appropriate.

In stockings-boots it is warm and cozy, high tops will protect from wind and rain. With a coat of classic models, hats of different styles are suitable.

In gray boots you always look stern and attractive at the same time. The skirt is just above the edge of the bootleg with a straight or asymmetrical bottom, a white loose pullover, a beige coat and a handbag in a lighter tone. The result is a smart sexy look.

What everyday life without jeans! Black boots will look good with tight-fitting trousers; a shirt, blouse, jacket will complement the look. A classic gray coat will add elegance to your look.

Black and white classic! The image turns out to be interesting, bright and fashionable. A sweater or tunic with short sleeves, complete with a turtleneck or blouse, looks great with long boots.

A white tunic just above the miniskirt in combination with a black short coat will create the look of a fashionable city woman.

A modest white dress with black boots will make the look sophisticated and sexy.

Lovers of shorts can combine them with classic black blouses and turtlenecks. Wear a cardigan, an elongated jacket or a light coat on top.

It is better to save shiny boots for going out with evening dresses. A fluffy hem just below the edge of the boots will add some mystery to the look.People around you will not only appreciate the beauty of your feet, but will also be intrigued: where do the boots end?

For an evening out, a fitted pleated dress with an asymmetrical hem is also suitable.

And, of course, a little black dress is always appropriate, which makes any look sophisticated.
