Shoes Galore!

Ankle Boot

Who says diamonds are a girl’s best friend, when you’ve got shoes! The only question is which shoes to wear this season? Don’t worry all pain and stress away. 

These boots are made for walking and walking’s what they’ll do, so I am going to tell you which boots to walk into.

Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are hot this winter. You can dress them with long pants or with a dress and tights. It comes in all shapes and colours and there will definitely be a pair that will suit your body type. Ankle boots can be dressed with skinny jeans during the day and at night with a cute cocktail dress and a cardigan. Heels and flats are perfect for this winter.

Court Shoes

If you are looking for a formal look this winter, pair court shoes with a suit or a pencil skirt, shirt and a blazer. These shoes can be dressed with something a little more informal too. For a more casual look you can wear it with tights and a long t-shirt or you can wear it with a denim skirt.

Brogues

Not into heels? Brogues are shoes that you can dress up in the “boy” look, even when if it is worn with a dress it will change your look completely. These shoes can be with harem pants or with cropped pants. Sometimes adding a cap or a beanie to your outfit can make you stand out. If you like to be daring you can wear brogues with a short pant and tights. You can also wear it a pants that end just above your knee, a white shirt and suspenders the same colour as you pants. Another look you can try is tights worn with a long shirt and a thin waist belt. Hope some of these looks work for you.

Wellington Boots

We all know Cape Town weather. Wet and windy, and I am sure the Mother City has many surprises for us this winter. So, for those days that you know you will be walking in wet weather the wellingtons (also known as wellies) will be your best friend. These don’t damage in the rain and can be worn with jeans or tights. Best thing about these boots are, is that it comes in different colours and patterns.

So, go walking into those shops and walk out with a pair of boots. It will be your protective guard this winter.
