Slouchy Boots for Fall

Kori Ellis — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 03:43:48 +0000

Slouchy is a terrific term for many fall fashions… Slouchy wool cardigan. Slouchy leather hobo. And of course, slouchy boots. Today, let’s take a look at some of the slouchy boots available at net-a-porter.com. Though long and sleek boots are definitely in style this season, slouchy ones can still find their way into your wardrobe.

Dior Black Suede Fringe Boots

Kori Ellis — Sat, 30 May 2009 02:11:25 +0000

Are you already thinking about fall fashions? We all know when it comes to fall footwear, it’s all about the boots. This autumn, look for knee-high boots with lots of interesting details such as metal studs, big buckles, fringe trim and contrast stitching. Instead of flat boots, heeled boots from stilettos to wedges will be popular.

I really liked the fringe trend last fall/winter (in small doses), so I’m glad it will be back again for fall. If you want to splurge on a pair of fringed boots, check out this pair from Christian Dior.

These black suede Dior boots have tiers for fringe on the shaft and a 3 1/2 inch skinny heel. The silvertone hardware at the top is a nice touch. You can order these boots from Neiman Marcus for $1,390.

If you don’t care about boots being last year’s styles, you can also get a variety of fabulous boots at deep discounts right now from Neiman Marcus. Check out their sale page for dozens of options. Here are just a few of the boot deals that I love:

Steve Madden Triumphh Pump

Kori Ellis — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 08:51:47 +0000

I have always thought that boots should be boots and sandals should be sandals. So when these things collide, like in the the Steve Madden Triumphh pump, I’m not a big fan.

These suede shoes have an open toe and are open across the forefoot, but they have a boot-like shaft. What do you think about these pumps?

If you love them, you can get these Steve Madden shoes now in black or taupe suede for $109.95 at Nordstrom.
