TIPs to look your best in Boots

1 Show some skin. Wear discrete socks under high boots rather than tights to show off a little bit of leg.

2 Achieve sleek. The slimmer the skirt, the sleeker the boot. Don’t wear bulky boots or boots with a thick heel with a slim skirt. It’ll make your leg look shorter and the outfit look disproportionate. If you have wide or narrow calves, you can find custom-tailored boots at www.Aylaboots.com to maintain that sleek look and avoid pinching or gapping at the back of the calf.

3 Be an urban cowgirl. Cowboy boots look great with a-line skirts or loose frock dresses, and you can have fun with them because of their variety of colors and styles.

4 Be a trend-setter. Casual cowboy-style and moccasin-style fringe boots stand up to some serious trends including being worn outside pants, with mini skirts and over jeans.

5 Riding boots. Flat-heeled boots or riding-boots look great with a preppy-style trench coat dress or leggings.

6 Be a rebel. Ankle boots pair well with tights when you’re wearing a micro-mini or above-the-knee skirt. It gives you a longer, sleeker look.

7 Short boots. If you’re seeking a rocker look, booties and ankle boots look best with a short skirt or skinny jeans.

8 Don’t wait for the flood. Unless you’re sporting skinny jeans, remember to keep your pants hemline long when wearing boots or heels. They should nearly skim the floor.

9 Add some pop. Wearing boots or shoes with some bright color, like red or yellow, with a solid outfit will add some fun and offset the starkness of a solid monotone look.

10 Strike a pose. Over-the-knee boots are hot again this year but this time with a high heel rather than a flat one. The 2008 Fashion Week catwalks showed them paired with tights, micro minis and jeans.

If you have wide calves try www.BennettsBoots.com they have a good range without elastic and as they are Australian you get them cheaper as your not paying the Australian tax on them. I got $27 australin dollars off my last pair
