Boots Fashion Style

Sometimes it all seems like a delicate balance between getting noticed and pretending not to care. Unfortunately, it can be spoiled by something as common as a crystal-beaded bodice. So who spoiled the effect of wearing these fashion boots on the picture above, you be the judge.

The Desert Boot returns

This fashion must-have may appear odd to the first glance but I assure you when worn properly this look can serve you well. The Desert boot- or 'veld skoen' as it's affectionately named here in South Africa has been around for a long time. As seen here by Clarks in their celebration of 60 years of the Desert Boot.

But it's Paul Smith (of course) who produced the best version in my opinion. These fantastic scuffed Achilles Desert Boots are hot!

Made in Suede this shoe comes in Oakwood and Sigaro, but I've battled to find them online. I believe there are still some left in the Paul Smith store.The dip dye process consists of the uppers being immersed in dyes and tumbled in large wooden drums to colour the upper leather, lining and stitching.

And the how would you wear this shoe?

Have you met my new shoes?

As I type this my feet are in sweet pain from my new leather boots. I'm wearing them in quite comfortably mind you, but Paul Smith shoes have never been a problem for me. These beauties are called YORK, I'm so happy that I finally got my hands on a pair of these mainline boots.

Every guy should have at least one pair of good black and brown boots, and if you're lucky enough you can have an assortment of tips and heels too! I was in POLO in the waterfront today and in their window display they had a gorgeous pair of vintage riding boots I had hoped were for sale, sadly not. Maybe I need to be doing more thrift shopping! For now I need to sit down...

Ann Demeulemeester

Demeulemeester unveiled her newest collection today, in which lot's of dark gloomy colours and designs make the models look like they survived the war un-scathed. Again we see a strong influence with the Revolution, as well as more knee-length boots with a round toe.

In Cape Town I don't think I've ever seen a man in tall boots, but considering I've also never been able to locate any in stores it's no wonder. I'm seeing a lot of Wellingtons(gum-boots as we call them)on international streets but have yet to see it on a local front. As soon as it cools down here I plan on donning a pair myself.

Here are a few shots from her show:

Boot Envy

Winter is a time when your boots get a chance to sniff the cold air once more. Of course for some of us, one pair of boots could never be enough, hence the reason all these designers still have jobs. A lot of European men are wearing them over their trousers, and another style is to casually roll them up to show the ankle down.Here are some that I want.
