Do boots match the dress?

Boots are the ideal shoes for winter and late autumn, when the temperature drops significantly, and it is not uncommon to see the first snowfall. Some models have short uppers, others reach just before the knee or even to mid-thigh. One clings to the legs, while the other stands away from them, introducing a thoughtful element of nonchalance. Do boots match the dress? Yes, but you have to match them with your creation in terms of length, cut, style and color.

  • The maxi dress is considered the most graceful and least problematic, because the tops of the shoes remain invisible under it. At the same time, it avoids the dilemma of choosing the right shade of tights. If you want to add a few centimeters of height and slenderize your figure, bet on heeled boots. Elevated shoes will also work well when the creation is a bit too long and you have not managed to shorten it at the dressmaker's.
  • The midi dress is best matched with boots with a longer upper, such as just before the knee. The aforementioned shoes hide under clothes, so they do not visually cut the legs. It is best to choose a model with heels or anchors, which optically slenderize the silhouette and help it regain the right proportions.
  • The mini dress is not particularly demanding. Practically any boots go with it, provided that their color is matched with the shade of the tights and the style of the creation itself. Musketeers look sensual. Officeworks give the styling a claw and are extremely comfortable.
