Women's Boots: 8 Style Tips to Know

From style to maintenance and making your boots last, we have rounded up some of the best boot tips that you need to know...

1. Roll up the Hem

For those women who love Chelsea boots and the snappy style they bring to any look, be sure to flash a little ankle. When wearing these with pants, you should try rolling up the hem to create some skin space between the top of the boot and the hem. Keep the hem roll casual and don't overstuff the roll to avoid the bulky look. When paired with a parka coat, this style hits all the marks.

2. Pair Long Rugged Boots with Feminine Prints

This tip is especially true for women in taller boots. Just because you are wearing winter boots for women that reach the knee doesn't have to mean opting for short skirts and dresses only.

Lending well to the layered look, if you pick a pair of boots that come with a hefty rugged sole and edged outdoor look, these will beautifully balance a floral print dress that falls past the knees and brings a bohemian edge to your style.

3. Waterproofs are Essential

Every woman should have one pair of really good waterproof rain boots in her wardrobe. Rather than replacing them every year or suffering from soaked feet, find a pair that will truly last you for many seasons to come. While fashion frenzied patterns and colors always bring brightness to greyer days, you may find that sticking to solid and sophisticated black or brown boots for women is the best way to go. Rain boots these days are tailored to look more like professional boots, so don't shy away from wearing your waterproofs for a myriad of occasions. Rain boots also look amazing when paired with casual attire such as oversized sweaters and silhouette fitting jeans. You can wear them with leggings, shorts, dresses, shorts, and skirts.

4. Skip the Height

The era of high heeled boots can be left behind. While personal love affairs with your favorite shoe is always encouraged, there's no need to feel like you need to add height unless you truly want to. Women's low-heeled boots or flats are here to stay. Many fashion guides will tell you that heels lengthen your legs, but there are other tricks and tips to do this that don't compromise the comfort of your foot. From high rise pants to the French tuck, you can elevate your height without the heels.

5. Summer Styling

Just because the sun is shining doesn't mean you need to pack away your boots. Slip off the fuzzy tights and dare to bare your legs. Whether sporting women's rubber boots or ankle grazers, these will look great in the summer especially when paired with short skirts and dresses with lots of leg on show. You can even pair leather boots with a maxi dress for an off-kilter mash-up of style. Floaty feminine dresses look good with all kinds of boots and if you are seeking a fun festival look, you can also pair knee-highs with short shorts.

6. Go for Extra Lining

If you are looking for waterproof boots to wear in the colder winter months, it may be worth splashing a little extra for the pleasure of a warmer lining. Boots stuffed with faux fur, sheepskin, or any kind of cozy warmth are guaranteed to keep toes snug so matter what. This is a great addition for colder coastal walks, wind-whipped wanders, and anyone who works outdoors outside of the summer seasons. If you are looking for something to wear all year round, you may want to skip the heavier lining. You can always pull on a thick woollen sock for an extra dose of warmth if needed.

7. A Little Love

When caring for your boots a little love goes a long way. While it's common knowledge that suede and leather boots need a little TLC from time to time, rubber boots can also benefit from some casual care. After wading through muddy forests or running through the surf, make sure to clean your shoes, boots, or even your clogs with a simple sponge and water. This will prevent them from fading and cracking before their time. You should also avoid leaving your wellington boots in a heap in the trunk of the car as the rubber will last longer when not left in extreme temperatures. The latter point is also why you should also try to let your boots dry at room temperature. If the lining gets sloshed when out on your walk, you can stuff them with newspaper to soak up any dampness.

8. Buy the Best

Finding a brand that offers true expertise in the art of boot making is one way to ensure that you invest in legacy boots that won't leave you out in the cold. At Aigle, we have been celebrating first-class footwear for over a century.
