How to wear coloured boots
Coloured boots are this season’s must-have footwear pick, and the colour and style you choose will determine how you wear them.
Like black and brown boots, coloured boots can be incredibly versatile, providing many wearable dressing options. Here are a few to consider:
Make your coloured boots a focal point
Whichever colour you choose, why not let them take centre stage? Wear an outfit in muted tones so the colour of your boots really stands out.
To complement your boots, why not choose a fun accessory, such as a chunky bracelet in the same shade, to break up your otherwise muted look?
Match your outfit to your boots
Looking for statement dressing? Then why not match your outfit to the shade of your boots for a well-put-together look guaranteed to turn heads? A muted handbag or belt can be a good addition to break up the colour.
It’s the season for jumper dresses
A jumper dress paired with boots and tights is a classic, timeless cold-weather combination. Pair a chunkier knit dress with flat boots for stylish, off-duty dressing.
Or, for sophisticated styling, why not opt for a classic black dress or a chic, muted tone such as beige, and finish the look with some heeled ankle boots with a bold colour pop, such as our Lotus Red & Black Textile Ebony Heeled Ankle Boots?
So, now you have some general ideas on how to style your coloured boots, we thought we’d get colour specific! We’ve picked some of our favourite styles from our autumn/winter coloured boots collection and paired them with our top styling tips to help you get the most out of your new favourite boots.
How to style white boots
White boots are having a moment, and while they may seem difficult to style, they are more versatile than you would think. Due to its neutral nature, white footwear can be styled similarly to black or brown boots, pairing well with neutral outfits, bolder colours, and prints.
Our Winter White Saundra Ankle Boots (pictured) were created with multiple looks in mind. Paired with turned-up slim trousers, they help to tie your everyday winter outfit together. Throw on a colourful, oversized jumper to complete this cosy look.
In this case, your muted trousers and boots help balance the outfit, but your white boots could also be used as a statement piece! A chunky, oversized black jumper dress and tights would allow these stylish boots to pop, with the black sole adding balance to the outfit.
What we love most about these Saundra boots is that they boast a water-repellent upper, a fully waterproof membrane, a bellowed tongue to prevent water from getting inside, and a zip gusset as an additional moisture barrier, so whatever the weather throws at you, your feet will stay completely dry!
Taking inspiration from walking boots, these white ankle boots are perfect for elevating your off-duty style this season without compromising comfort.
What to wear with red Chelsea boots
If you love red, red Chelsea boots are a chic go-to this season. Step out of your comfort zone and add a statement colour pop to your winter wardrobe!
Our Red Leather Dresden Wedge Ankle Boots are a fresh take on a timeless classic and these red Chelsea boots can be incredibly versatile when you know how to style them!
For a casual, everyday look, choose dark blue or black jeans and pair them with a simple white or a graphic T-shirt, then complete the look with a black leather jacket or a faux-shearling lined denim jacket for warmth and laid-back style this season. Red accessories or winter-red lipstick can help to tie your look together.
For something smarter, pair your boots with navy, beige or grey chinos, all colours that complement red beautifully. A white button-up shirt, a knitted jumper and a casual blazer are the perfect ways to finish off this chic, smart-casual look, taking you straight from the office to lunch with friends.
Finally, for more of a Boho look, why not pair your boots with a floral dress? A subtle red print against a contrasting colour is a good way to carry the red theme throughout your outfit. Or, for a complete contrast, blue prints pair well with red. Black tights can help to add warmth and balance the look once the weather turns colder.
What to wear with blue boots
We’re crafting a more elegant silhouette with our blue ankle boot tips, thanks to our Blue Nerinda Heeled Ankle Boots. A polished addition to our boots collection, the gold decorative rope detailing, stylishly complemented by a matching heel plate and finished with contrasting patterned detailing panelling at the back of the boot, makes these boots perfect for turning heads!
A tailored look for the office, such as a grey suit, would allow your blue ankle boots to take centre stage. Add a simple top in a similar shade to balance out the look. Or why not choose a casual maxi dress and allow your boots to add a refined finish to your look?
Blue boots are much easier to style than you would anticipate. For classic dressing, grey, black, navy and white complement the colour well, whereas earthy tones such as khaki and olive can also create a chic contrast.
What to wear with pink boots
Always an elegant colour pop to add to your autumn/winter wardrobe, pink boots provide a happy pop of colour in a world filled with grey skies and the early onset of darkness.
Our Pink Amelia Pointed Toe Shoe Boots are a stylish addition to your evening winter wardrobe. Pair yours with an all-black jumpsuit, a dress in a matching pink shade and black tights, or a matching pink trouser suit for a monochrome pink moment.
However, you don’t have to reserve these boots for an evening! Styled with a classic pair of blue jeans and a cosy knit, they’ll help to elevate your smart-casual looks beautifully.
Whatever style you choose to pair with your pink boots, there are many complementary colour combinations you can choose from. For something bold, lime green, fuchsia pink are the perfect pairing since they are complementary colours on the colour wheel. Yellow and orange also go well with pink and can help add vibrance to your look.
If you prefer muted tones, black, white, navy and cool greys, all pair beautifully with pink, offering you many versatile dressing options across all seasons.
