Be in Style - Fashion and Beauty

Face it, you can never have too many shoes. And as the weather gets cooler, there’s more reason to keep your feet warm and comfy. Here are four different types of shoes with different functions that you should keep in your wardrobe this season.

1. Over-the-knee Boots

You’re going to see this everywhere because it’s the shoe of the season. We first saw them on the celebs, then it evolved into a trend that was “only for tall people”, but now it’s generally accepted for this fall and winter. Wear it with a mini, a tunic, a dress, or over jeans—just make sure that you’re not too bulky on the top or it will look too heavy. Keep it simple so that the focus would be on your boots. Also, the flat, suede, over-the-knee style is especially in this season, so consider giving it a try!

2. Fur-lined Flats

You’ll definitely want to keep your feet warm in the cooler weather. What other fur-lined alternatives are there other than Ugg boots and those not-so-fancy moccasins? Try American Eagle’s Plaid Wool Flats—they’re simple, chic, and keep your feet warm. They basically go with anything!

3. Designer-inspired Shoes

In this economy, the trend is the “looks for less” for those of us who can’t afford to splurge on a pair of shoes that only last for a season. Many shoemakers are producing “designer-inspired” shoes this season. Recessionistas will get a chance to try on these celeb styles without having to go over their budget. Isn’t it wonderful? Try the Vicky Black Zippered and Collared Bootie by Pink Duchess, which is inspired by Alexander McQueen’s famous Motorcycle Bootie.

4. The Party Heel of the Moment

Despite the cold weather, you’ll still need a pair of fun heels to wear for a night out! Add to the fun by showcasing the latest trends on your feet. Some of the trends that are appearing on shoes are: chains, studs, zippers, and ruffles. Add one of these elements to your shoe and you’ll immediately turn heads! For a fun pair of shoes, try Jeffrey Campbell’s Suede Pumps with Chain Detailing.

It’s hard to keep up with shoe trends, so to save a buck, try looking around for inexpensive alternatives and make sure to buy shoes that fit! Remember, the trick is to get a shoe that is affordable but appears high-quality. These aren’t so easy to find, but if you look hard enough you should be able to find a trendy shoe that fits your budget.
