How To Wear Boots With Jeans

Before we dive deep into the various ways you can pair denim and boots, there are some basic styling rules that should be explained.

Although it is the most convenient option, never opt to pull your straight-cut or skinny jeans over your boots (the case is different for boot cut or flared jeans). And so, here is an all-encompassing guide to mastering boots with jeans.

It may be surprising to some, but it’s not enough to simply throw on your favorite pair of jeans and slip your feet into a comfortable pair of boots.

To get this stylish combination right, you first need to pay attention to the length of your jeans.

If your jeans are long enough to drag on the floor, they’re too long.

When looking for jeans to wear over boots, unless you’re shopping for a specific type of jeans (skinny, boyfriend, etc.) you want to go with boot-cut denim.

Boot-cut jeans should be 1-2 inches from the ground so that they lay over your boots properly.

That being said, boot-cut jeans are really only best to wear with boots when you plan on wearing the boots under the jeans, as opposed to tucking them in.

When selecting a pair of boot-cut jeans, you’ll likely want to go with a darker pair.

Lighter-washed denim can make your legs look bigger than they are, while dark denim is more slimming overall.

As for the rest of the ways to pair jeans and boots, check out the list below and see which ones appeal most to you!

How to Wear Booties and Boyfriend Jeans

To sum up this style using just one word, we’d go with “trendy.”

A great pair of booties is practically a closet staple and boyfriend jeans are all the rage!

Booties are essentially boots that cover your ankle bones but don’t reach the calf.

You want to look for a pair of booties that don’t come up any further than a couple inches above your ankle or else you’ll look too short.

They can have a heel but not all do!

Booties are one of the most versatile boot styles and are comfortable enough to wear all day long!

The most popular way to wear booties with boyfriend jeans is to cuff the hem of the jeans by rolling them up twice.

Be sure to avoid making the “roll” more than an inch wide.

You want to show just a little bit of skin above the booties!

This style is absolutely perfect to wear all year long!

How to wear Black Boots and Black Jeans

To some, this style may sound “edgy” but to others, it sounds “chic.”

No matter how you describe it, it’s pretty clear that black on black is bold but stylish.

Creating a solid silhouette of the same color can help make anyone look both taller and leaner.

This is certainly ideal for most women.

Black jeans and black boots can be styled so many different ways, it’s a pairing that’s perfect for just about any occasion.

Whether dressed up or down, paired with a chunky sweat or a flowing tank top, you truly can’t go wrong with this dynamic duo.

How To Wear Riding Boots and Jeans

Classic riding boots with a stylish pair of jeans may be the most traditional look on this list.

A great pair of riding boots are timeless and look great paired with just about any top, whether dressed up or down.

Black and brown are definitely the most popular colors when it comes to the boots, which means your denim selection can range from white to black and everything in between.

You can find a great pair of riding boots ranging from around $50 to over $300, so don’t feel like you need to splurge unless you want to!

They even make wide-calf pairs to accommodate your calves if necessary!

As for the jeans, skinny jeans tend to be the easiest to wear with riding boots, but you can wear boot-cut or even flared jeans if you know how to tuck them in properly.

How To Tuck Jeans Into Boots

Tucking in the jeans inside the boot is a classic yet casual and care-free method to wearing the two together. This technique ideally requires you to don skinny or straight cut jeans (with no excess bulking around the ankle) and then pair that with ankle boots with heels or western-style ankle boots. The added height of heeled boots offsets the tomboyish look of slouchier straight-cut jeans. A pro fashion tip would be to tuck in your jeans into your socks so that your outfit stays streamlined throughout the day.

Some stylish looks with this technique require combining embellished biker boots with skinny distressed jeans (this combination is also the ultimate tough chick look). For a funkier look, opt for jade green skinny or straight-cut jeans and black or tan hiking ankle boots with heels.

First, look for the slimmest pair of jeans you have.

Then, roll up the hem to create a sizable cuff, but not one long enough to show when your boots are on.

You then need to grab the extra material at the cuff and fold it over to create a tight hem.

Then either roll the cuff again to hold the crease in place or put on a tight pair of socks over the cuff and slide on your boots!

How To Wear Over-The-Knee Boots and Skinny Jeans

Thigh high boots seem to be making a comeback and for good reason!

Over the knee boots (with or without heels) and super skinny jeans make for an effortless style hack to long, endless legs. Because there is no visual break between boots and jeans, you can extend your silhouette and look fierce at the same time.

This stylish but sexy look is great to wear during cooler weather, especially when paired with an oversized sweater.

You can go with black jeans and black boots or mix things up with brown boots and dark denim.

Even white jeans and black boots would work for this style!

The key is to choose slim-fitting boots and skinny jeans.

No, skinny jeans and boot-cut jeans are not the same!

Over-the-knee boots are perfect for dressing up for a date night or a night out with the girls.

They typically have a heel but it’s entirely possible to find thigh-high boots without a heel, like these that you can purchase at Macy’s.

They also make thigh-high boots with straps at the top to help them stay up as you move around.

The hardest part will likely be finding a pair of over-the-knee boots that fits your leg all the way through because it can be hard to accommodate both the calf and the thigh of the majority of people.

How to Wear Biker Boots and Destroyed Denim

Now if you’re looking for edgy, this is the look for you!

You can find women’s motorcycle boots or “biker boots” all over, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a pair in any color other than black or brown.

Amazon offers a variety of stylish motorcycle boots that are great for this style.

A motorcycle boot is essentially a boot with a tighter-fitting ankle that reaches about halfway up the calf.

They often feature a buckle and a heel about an inch tall. Styles and features vary depending on who makes them, but that style is pretty standard.

Because women’s biker boots tend to follow more of a “rough” and “edgy” form, it makes the most sense to pair them with destroyed denim.

Fortunately, you can find a quality pair of destroyed jeans just about anywhere that sells denim!

Asos, Pacsun, Macy’s, and 7 For All Mankind are all great brands with destroyed options available.

If you really want to complete the look, you’ll want to find a great leather jacket, pull your hair back, and go with subtle but sexy makeup that includes a smoky eye.

How To Wear Combat Boots and Colored Jeans

This style may be reserved for the bold, but if you can pull it off, you’ll be one stylish chick!

Whether you wear black or brown combat boots, the key to pulling off this style is in the color of your denim.

Throwing on a pair of colored jeans is a great way to mix up your personal style without going too over-the-top.

Plus, when worn with a great pair of combat boots, it’s an easy way to be both stylish and comfortable, all year ‘round!

Combat boots for women are similar to biker boots, except they tend to lace up.

They also cover the ankle and have a slim look if fully laced up.

However, some people like to wear their combat boots tied loosely, with the upper portion of the folded over for even more of a laid-back look.

Combat boots don’t have a heel larger than an inch which makes them easy to wear all day.

The Folded Up Over Boots Technique

Folding up or cuffing your jeans over your boots is a great technique to create a distinct line from pant to boot so that you can highlight both fashion item without any overlapping between the two. The best looks with this technique goads well with the pairing of Chelsea boots or high-heeled booties with boyfriend jeans or straight-leg jeans. Remember, that this technique also works with skinny jeans. The correct folding procedure is discussed below.

The vogue folding technique of 2017 is to fold along the hem of your jeans – about one to two inches – and then fold a second time by another one to two inches (or till desired length). This is the double-folding technique. Make sure to “firmly establish a crease” by folding your pants before putting them on (you can re-adjust it after putting it on) and then ironing the fold. The perfect lines give the impression of a posh, put-together look. This folding technique makes for a thick or wide cuff. You can also fold a third time for a three-fold technique.

Other than the double-fold technique, there are other folding techniques as well, namely:

1. The simple, imperfect cuff (or, the messy cuff) technique: if you don’t have the time or the patience to perfect the prim and proper cuff, then opt for an imperfect one. Simply fold according to your needs, without worrying about matching fold lengths on each side, and step out with confidence. It’s fun to appear unkempt and carefree sometimes! The best look with this technique involves distressed leather boots and skinny jeans. A tip for this technique is to leave a little bit of skin exposed between the boot and the jeans to “visually elongate your leg.”
2. The single large cuff technique: instead of the current trend of the double folding technique, you can do a singular large cuff (about 4 inches). However, there is one disadvantage to this technique: it would make your legs look shorter, so only use this technique if you have long, lean legs.
3. The rolled cuff/ roll-it-up technique: to employ this folding technique, simply fold the jeans one inch, next, roll the jean again for a double-inch cuff (like the double-folding technique). There is no need to form a crease however and the loose cuff will give a “barrel roll-like,” casual look. The “cylindrical” fold makes it different than the wider, straight lined cuff. The best way to pull off this technique is with boyfriend or straight cut jeans and high heeled booties.
4. The half cuff technique works best with baggier/slouchier jeans like boyfriend jeans. Firstly, a single four-inch fold is made along the hem of the jeans and then the top of the fold is bundled together with the bottom half of the fold by pulling it downwards for some extra “accordion-like” “dimension and texture.” Lastly, fold the top of the hem by one inch again for some added flair.
5. The skinny/super skinny cuff / flip the tips technique: this differs from the double fold or thick cuff method since this method requires one-fold about one or half inches and the second fold is skipped. This works with well-fitted (super skinny) jeans for a slim-fitted, lean silhouette or you can even do this technique on “modern mom jeans” for a retro look.

The Folded Inward/Under Cuff and Above Boots Technique

This folding technique differs from the outward folding technique because the fold on the hem of jeans is done inwards to make it invisible. This is a dream pairing for skinny cut jeans and some Chelsea boots or ankle booties with or without heels. The perfectly aligned lines give the impression of a tailored, haute styling.

The Ripped Hem Technique

Yet another option is to rip the hem at the bottom of your jeans to just above your ankles (or above your ankle boots). This will enable you to show off those ankle boots of yours without any folds. When ripping the hem, remember to use fabric scissors, a tape measure and pencil (for the markings) to “cut along the outline and leave it unhemmed for a distressed finish.” Rip the hems of boyfriend, straight-cut or skinny jeans and then pair with ankle boots or any style.

The Zipper Cuff/Hem Jeans Over Boots Technique

If you would rather opt out of the folding techniques, then you can choose to don some straight-cut jeans with zipper cuffs in the bottom with any sort of ankle boots. Michonne from The Walking Dead rocks this technique mastering the ultimate bad-ass, butt-kicking chick look like nobody’s business, pairing the zipper cuffed jeans with some embellished cowboy ankle boots.

The No Tuck-In Do’s and Dont’s

If you really want to disregard all the rigid fashion techniques for the right fold technique, then go ahead! Ditch the fold and don’t tuck in your jeans. It is not recommended to go with a no-tuck look with skinny jeans but you can go ahead and go down that route as well. A very bohemian look would be to don leopard jeans with some gray heeled, suede boots (preferably of ankle length).

That’s the lowdown on the types of techniques to adapt with your jeans and boots combos and next, here are some general looks (achieved with jeans and boots) to adopt with any of the above techniques, followed by some fashion-faux pas looks to avoid as well:

Do’s:

• The Equestrian/Classic Riding Look: pair some tan knee-length boots (with or without heels) otherwise known as riding boots, a tailored blazer and slim cut jeans for the classic “riding” or “equestrian look.”
• The Chic Bohemian Look: for a unique look, ideal for the fall, pair a cape or cloak (also known as a poncho) with some dark, denims for a heightened chic bohemian look.
• The Winter Wonderland Look: this is a classic wintry look that will keep you warm and comfy in frigid temperatures. Pair some dark jeans (because darker colors are better suited for winter) with some knee-high boots, a knit sweater or a coat and a woolen beanie to complete this look.
• The Professional/Androgynous Look: ideal for casual Fridays at work, pair some black pieces of denim (folded inward or neatly tailored or cuffed above the knee) with a black blazer, a plain top and simple ankle boots (with or without heels).
• The Monochrome Jeans and Boots Look: you can decide to match your boots and jeans by wearing both of the same colors. The classic fall styling of caramel or tan colored pants and matching lace-up boots is an envious look. Other options are black jeans and black boots or brown pants and brown boots (preferably in the rich shade of brown).

Dont’s:

• The Whimsical Look: don’t pick those cartoony print rain boots with your jeans because they are only appropriate if you are less than ten years old!
• The Double Up/ Unnecessarily Matchy-Matchy Look: another faux-pas includes an overly unnecessary matchy-matchy combination of jeans and boots. For example, don’t do plaid shirts with plaid boots or fur-trimmed jackets with fur-trimmed boots. It is okay to match the color of your pants and boots though (as mentioned earlier).

Rock Your Personal Style But Branch Out!

That was the definitive guide to navigating the jeans and boots combination.

When thinking about fashion, it’s most important to keep your own personal style in mind.

You don’t have to feel pressured to try to be someone you’re not.

Boots with Jeans is a timeless combination that just about anyone can pull off.

It’s up to you to find how to wear boots with jeans and which variation best fits your personal style.

Don’t be afraid to go out and experiment with the various combinations of denim and boots. If you find the look to be exhaustive and constrictive then don’t worry, make your own rules as you go along.

That being said, don’t be afraid to step a little outside your comfort zone and try something new. Nothing compares to fearless fashion confidence at the end of the day.

If you’re a little unsure, take both a pair of jeans and a pair of boots into a dressing room with you and try them on.

Pay attention to how you feel both emotionally and physically.

You should feel comfortable and confident! Good luck!

How to Make a Man Miss You

I used to be the girl who called and texted my boyfriend constantly. It was like I was always texting him first- like I was bothering him. I started to feel unwanted. Why was he never the one texting me unless he was asking for naked pictures? Was he not interested? Was he using me? If you’ve ever felt unwanted by your man, you need to experience the lessons I learned from this revolutionary new system that will make your man more attentive and appreciative of you.

If you’ve ever felt like that, take a lesson from my new secret – His Secret Obsession. It taught me how to make myself more appealing to my boyfriend and make him call me instead of me reaching out to him constantly and waiting until he was home from hanging out with his friends.

Eli and I had been dating for three years when I started noticing that things weren’t quite like they were in the beginning. I met Eli while I was in college through a mutual friend, and he was into from the first time we hung out. In the beginning, he would go out of his way to pick me up for dates and take me out. I noticed that he stopped be romantic completely. Date nights consisted of laying on the couch with frozen pizza. If one of his friends called, he would leave me alone without even thinking about it. It hurt my feelings, but he didn’t seem to understand. I wanted him to want to hang out with me, but he just didn’t show me that same passion anymore. It caused a lot of fights and a lot of tears. The fights didn’t help at all. It only made us grow further apart. This was the love of my life, and I didn’t want to lose him. I started feeling hopeless, and I thought that we would never be able to get out of our slump. Luckily, it wasn’t too late to change our dynamic.

Thanks to the help from His Secret Obsession, I learned how to make my man finally show me the attention that I wanted. The first thing that I did was try to bring our relationship back to the beginning. Instead of assuming that we were going to hang out every single night, I made specific plans with Eli. Sure, we still did dinner and a movie at home, but I gave him a few days alone to miss me. I would keep up the feeling of our initial dating by stepping up my hygiene and makeup routine. He even mentioned that I smelled really good when I did some over. Instead of texting him immediately after we hung out, I gave some time. This isn’t what attracted him, though. There was one specific thing that I did that attracted to him more than he ever was the first three years of our relationship.

To understand how to make a man miss you, you have to understand how men think. Men are extremely prideful and competitive. It’s in their primal instincts to want to win- especially when it comes to women. I wanted to bring this primal desire out of him. In order to spark this competitiveness in him, I started by just playing video games with him. He wasn’t that great at it, but I let him win. You could see the joy on his face when he won. He was proud of himself. And he felt like a man. I bet who would cook dinner, so he felt like even more of a man when I made him dinner. This isn’t how I brought out his primal instinct. It was simply how I encouraged the thoughts in his mind. Throughout the night, I encouraged this feeling. I also told him the twelve secret words that bring out the desire in every man. After that, he was excited to please me and be there for me. These words were strong enough to stroke his ego and make him want to continue pleasing me and fighting for me. Before I knew it, he was looking at me in a different light.

Before I knew it, he was texting me more and more. Eli went from being inattentive and careless to being the man that I always wanted him to be. There were more date nights, and the romance was reignited. There was a difference in the way he talked about me around his friends, too. Soon, he wouldn’t go out and leave me alone like he once did. Now he wanted to hang out with me. When his friends called, he would ask if I wanted to go out with him. The best part was that he completely thought that it was his own idea.

Men are simple creatures with big egos. They want to feel like they are the only one who can fill a certain place in a woman’s life. They also want to feel like the hero that they fantasize about being. Your job is to make him feel like the hero.

This does not mean that you should be a complete damsel in distress. Many women mistake the advice. Don’t unload absolutely every problem that you have on your man. Guys don’t want a woman who doesn’t have her stuff together. However, you want to expose a little bit of vulnerability to make him feel like a hero in your life. You need to make him feel wanted so that he feels like taking care of your emotional and sexual needs is a part of his everyday life.

Never think that it’s too late to change the dynamic in your relationship. I was able to do it with the wonderful secrets of His Secret Obsession that helped me change Eli from insensitive to the most caring and loving man that I’ve ever been with. In fact, we are currently picking out venues for our wedding next winter, and the ring is beautiful.

2018 Jeans Trends: Boyfriend, White, Black Jeans and More

As far as I know, all girls in this world love jeans. Jeans are our best friend in every ‘I don’t have anything to wear’ situation. You can wear it casual, but you can also style it to look super elegant.

This fashion season, trendy jeans that we could see around were boyfriend jeans, white and black jeans. They came in high waist form, and they mostly have frayed hem.

If you were wondering how to wear your jeans and look trendy, I am here to show you what kind of jeans you need. With a bit of my help, you will nail down every outfit combination this fall/winter.

Scroll down to enter the great world of jeans trends.

How to Style White Jeans

White jeans are maybe the hardest one to style. I was always wondering how to wear it without looking like a snowball. That is why I have dug deep and managed to find the best combinations that you can wear with your white jeans.

Style your skinny white jeans with the olive green military shirt and gorgeous gold ankle boots with block heel. Your outfit will look so effortless, yet you will feel so chic. 

This combination is excellent for fall and cold winter days. Warm yourself up with the cozy brown turtleneck, put on your skinny white jeans and round everything off with the suede thigh high boots. So simple, yet this outfit looks very chic.

Check out how the white jeans are paired with this checked black and white coat! This outfit looks amazing and so stylish!

How to Style Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend jeans are trendy as long as I can remember it. If you have one pair, be free to buy more! Because I guarantee you, there are no better and more comfortable jeans than the boyfriend ones.

We all feel a little bit nostalgic when we see the high waist boyfriend jeans. It takes us back to the ‘80s and ‘90s. So if you want to look like that, team up the oversized jacket and red shirt for a cool and edgy look.

This look is a great one that you can ‘copy.’ Follow the trendy Russian girl style and wear your boyfriend jeans with the printed shirt and trench coat.

So how about combining the faux fur coat with the dark boyfriend jeans? Are you still thinking whether you should do it? Okay, I will tell you. The combination looks amazing! Finish it off with the black ankle boots.

Bonus: Not So Into Jeans?

Let me show you how to wear leggings or athleisure wear this fall and winter. Trust me; you can wear it far away from your gym.

Make sure to buy the stirrup jeggings because they are a huge trend this season! They have many features, one of them being a comfort. Pair them with high heels or white sneakers, if you are heading to the gym.

If you think that athleisure garments are only for the gym, you were wrong my dear. If you can wear sneakers with dresses, then why not wear a hoodie as the top? Pair the black leggings with the grey hoodie and leather jacket.

I hope you have enjoyed this short but sweet style guide!

Best Black Leggings – Top 5 Reviewed

Couple years ago youtube supper star Jenna Marbles published a video on the addiction to leggings. As is her style, the video showcased her hilarious take on how women worldwide want to wear leggings with everything and how many leggings they own that look exactly the same, proudly showing off her collection of the best black leggings. Obviously an exaggeration of reality. Or is it?

Even before the start of 2017, the sales of leggings have been reported to have increased by 40% from the previous year. As opposed to the 4% increase in the sales of jeans. This is of course further facilitated by the boom in the athleisure trend. As we inch closer to 2018, one look at women around and you’ll know Jenna’s “funny” video isn’t funny anymore. The deed is done. Women have fallen prey to the addiction of leggings and are not apologetic about it.

And with good reason too. Leggings are just as stylish as jeans yet they are so much more comfortable. Black leggings, in particular, are as basic a wardrobe staple as blue denim. And frankly, you have to be an ascetic if you’ve seen Gigi Hadid rock her several pairs of black leggings and yet don’t want them for yourself! Therefore, I come bearing the gift of a list of the best black leggings that covers all major styles. Take heed:

Best black leggings – at a glance

• Wide Waistband Side Mesh Leggings: Perfect balance of affordable, comfortable, functional and fashionable
• SPANX Women’s Faux Leather Leggings: Great for shaping the lower body from waist to ankles
• Alo Yoga Women’s Moto Legging: Design aesthetics right on point with current trends
• Splendid Women’s French Terry Legging Pant: The softest and most comfortable leggings best for all-day use
• Koral Women’s Lustrous Legging: Glossy, glamorous style of leggings that will take you from work to party in just a few minutes

Best black leggings – review in depth

Wide Waistband Side Mesh Leggings

Fitness freaks, rejoice! Say Namaste to this pair of leggings from athleisu.re that comes with a stirrup addition for that extra snug fit so your pants don’t ride up when you stretch. Leggings these days come in all avatars: some are meant purely for fashion purposes, others are for the hardcore fitness purposes. These leggings definitely belong to the latter category. They are stretchable enough to move and expand with you. So they are a convenient choice for both your gym sessions as well as your yoga classes. The stirrups, in particular, are a very retro reminder of the exercise heydays of the 80s. And they are back (minus the big, frizz-ball hair, thankfully!) with a bang these days, just as much as the leotard has made a comeback in the guise of the bodysuit.

But there’s more to love about these pants. The wide waistband, for example. Anyone who wears a lot of leggings (represent!) knows that they can cause a funny little underbelly effect. And unless you’re wearing maternity leggings, that’s not a very pretty sight. Wide waistbands such as on these ones smoothen out the midriff flatteringly. Then there’s the mesh panel detail running along the entire length of the pants that effectively rescues it from getting boring and adds a sensual twist to it.

Yay

Super stretchy fabric; facilitates movement just like leggings are supposed to
Snug and comfortable fit, perfect for gym or yoga
Stirrup detail makes for a pleasing “yoga pants” aesthetic
Wide waistband tucks in the tummy
Mesh panels on the side adds a chic element

Nay

If you’re not a fan of stirrups, keep scrolling.

SPANX Women’s Faux Leather Leggings

One word. Spanx. My review of this item of the best black leggings list might as well have ended here. The word Spanx is so iconic in the body shaping area that just the very word conjures images of taut and lithe bodies. These faux leather leggings that are made of nylon and spandex are crafted to do for your entire lower body what other body-shapers do for other targeted parts of your body (obviously).

Black leather leggings are a classic must-have in your wardrobe. They can come to your rescue – with a crisp white shirt –when you have absolutely no idea what to wear. But a lot of us don’t prefer wearing leather for conscientious reasons. These faux leather leggings are a great vegan alternative for them.

But let’s talk more about what Spanx does best. Tones up the wiggly jiggly body parts! And these leggings are no exception. The super high waist that ends at the small of the waist, lifts everything up and tucks them into one tight and compact package of waist, tummy, butt, and legs. Winner!

Yay

Spanx is reputed for its body shaping abilities and these leggings live up to that name
Tones the legs and the derrière so these are great for those not so much in shape at the moment
Faux leather option that looks quite close to leather for those who don’t like wearing leather
Doesn’t run short; even long-legged beauties can fit themselves into these

Nay

Might be a little too tight to be comfortable for some women

Alo Yoga Women’s Moto Legging

If you live for trends and interesting design elements are just as important for you as performance, I present to you these Moto Leggings from Alo. Alo has a wide range of leggings available as they are a well-established name in the fitness wear industry and is therefore featured on my list of the best black leggings. These leggings are clearly an effort to make fitness freaks look as good as they feel comfortable in their gear. And there’s no denying that they have succeeded on this front.

The leggings are low waist and end just below the belly button but the moderately wide waistband offers a flattening effect on the waist. That is also a great way to show off the abs for those who have them, paired with a crop top. But what makes them super stylish is the combination of matte and glossy fabrics. While the leggings are made out of matte nylon and spandex fabric, they feature glossy panels along the front. These panels are further flanked by mesh panels. And the raised stitch details bring them all together.

Yay

Yet another design choice from the stable of Alo fitness wear that is high on style and performance
Very fashionable, on-trend pair of leggings with matte and glossy, fabric and mesh panel details
Low waist design for those who aren’t fond of high waists

Nay

Price is a bit on the higher side for something you need to wear AND wear out a lot

Splendid Women’s French Terry Leggings

In hindsight though, what if you’re someone who is all about the clean and classic? And don’t care much for fleeting trends? Well, I got some for you on my list of best black leggings too! There is no over-exaggerating of things here. These leggings are just what they look like. Plain, simple and basic black leggings. But simplicity is often underrated, right?

The best thing about basic clothing is that the options of styling them are diverse and endless. These leggings do not have extra stylized details which means that they don’t fall under any particular “look” or “feel” so they can be styled with almost anything. You can wear them with neutral shirts with clean cuts or with dressy tops with frills and prints. Due to the minimal aesthetic, they are also do not appear as fitness wear, so even if the athleisure trend dies down, these leggings will still give you many wears.

However, the biggest USP of these leggings is that they are made from cotton, which makes them super duper comfortable to be wearing all day. So don’t worry about wearing tight leggings on a working day with lots of errands to run on.

Yay

Simple and minimalistic design aesthetic for those who want to stock up on basic clothing
Versatile styling options
Soft cotton and spandex blend for comfort and stretchability

Nay

There aren’t really any, except that these are not very stylish-looking, but you would be making your buying decision based on your requirements.

YES, SHOW ME THE BEST PRICE RIGHT NOW!

Koral Women’s Lustrous Legging

Did you think the shine is for sequins only? Well, I’m proving you wrong with these leggings from Koral, that will put any sequin-studded party dress to shame. To that end, you could also wear these leggings on an evening out. In fact, these are just the perfect option to wear on a Friday morning when you know your day is about to blend into the night without any time in between to change. Just switch your daytime sneakers with high heeled boots and add some dangling earrings and red lipstick (or berry, whatever you prefer), and voila! Just like that, your daytime athleisure look transforms into a nighttime glam look.

But of course, they are also great to wear in the day with a tee and sneakers. They are as comfortable as they are figure-forming and are made to wear during yoga and exercises too. But the high glamour quotient will ensure that you choose to wear it mostly on days that you need to look an extra bit of stylish. And for that reason alone, they find a place of pride in this list of the best black leggings.

Yay

Very glamorous-looking leggings; looks exactly like in the pictures
Perfect for daytime to nighttime transformational looks
Body-shaping yet comfortable and breathable

Nay

Might run small and tight depending on your size

YES, SHOW ME THE BEST PRICE RIGHT NOW!

So I know I’m not giving up on wearing leggings anytime soon (especially after compiling this list of best black leggings!) What about you? How cray are you about them? Let me know in the comments below and who knows, maybe we’ll end up making a Jenna Marbles-inspired video!

Best travel shoes Top 5 travel shoes reviews

If you’re on social media… strike that, you’re definitely on social media… chances are you come across a substantial number of posts every day that are homage to wanderlust. Heck, every other picture on Instagram is about travel (the others are about food). And for a good reason too. Like someone wise once anonymously said, travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. If you’re bitten by the travel bug too, you know how important it is to keep track of the best travel shoes available. Besides your backpack, your shoes are probably the most important thing while on the go. The best traveling shoes are durable, comfortable and reliable enough to (literally) take you places without falling apart.

However, the best travel shoes are not the “sole” (you should be pretty used to this pun thing by now) domain of backpackers. Even in everyday life, we need travel shoes all the time. If you have a long commute to work, or if your job entails walking around running errands a lot, this list is relevant to you as well. In my opinion, the best travel shoes are a successful marriage between work shoes and sports shoes. Work shoes for the durability and ruggedness, sports shoes for the comfort. I’ve used this criterion to pick the best travel shoes women should consider owning.

Best travel shoes at a glance

• KEEN Women’s Presidio Shoe: Leather-made sporty oxford shoes that are sturdy yet comfortable.
• Ahnu Women’s Taraval Walking Shoe: Light lace-up sporty travel shoes that look good too.
• ALEADER Women’s Quick Drying Aqua Water Shoes: As the name goes, quick-drying lightweight lace-up shoes ideal for use in wet conditions.
• TOMS Women’s Classics Birch Multi Rainbows Loafer: Cute-looking classic loafers that fit comfortably and add color to your outfit.
• Xero Shoes Barefoot-inspired Sports Sandals – Women’s Z-Trail: Zero-drop open toe sandals that are versatile in use.

Best travel shoes – detailed review

KEEN Women’s Presidio Shoe

Picking up on the durability criterion discussed above, Keen makes a good impression simply by way of reputation. It is a brand best known for its utility shoes so it is small wonder that their travel shoes are made for the long haul. The Women’s Presidio Shoe follows the sporty oxford design scheme with a laced-up leather and mesh upper and rubber sole.

It is waterproof, which is an often overlooked feature in travel shoes although it seems like the most obvious thing to have. Because if you’re going to be traveling in them, they’re likely to see a lot of varied conditions. This feature makes the shoes easier to clean and maintain.

They also have what they call the “Cleansport NXT” feature that controls odor, which is helpful because travel shoes tend to get sweaty a lot. The “cushioned footbed” however, isn’t as supportive as you might think, and additional supportive insoles may be required if you have problematic feet.

Liked THIS:

Keen is a trusted name in the area of utility shoe-making; the Women’s Presidio does command that authority.
The waterproof feature is always a welcome bonus when it comes to travel shoes.
Lace up design makes the fit snug.
Rubber sole provides good grip for trekking and traveling in wet conditions.
It has an odor control feature which is helpful in case of travel shoes.

Didn’t like that:

Very little arch support available; customization required in terms of insoles.
These shoes tend to run too wide for some women so checking for measurements before buying is advised.

YES, SHOW ME THE BEST PRICE RIGHT NOW!

Ahnu Women’s Taraval Walking Shoe

Walking shoes should be well researched enough to carry a design that is both sturdy as well as lightweight. These Ahnu shoes successfully achieve that balance. Even with the leather, fabric and suede design, these shoes aren’t too heavy to lug around. Yet the upper is tough enough to take to your hiking expeditions to the mountains or on a simple walk around the town.

The leather is waterproof and holds off rain and snow to a decent capacity. However, most shoes in this price range won’t be waterproof enough to dunk your feet in ankle deep water for prolonged periods, so that waterproof testing method will definitely fail (in case you were planning on swimming in these shoes or crossing oceans!).

The slip-resistant feature on the outsole is quite good (as should be in case of walking shoes) and won’t disappoint on that front. However, the arch support provided, again, is only alright for women with normal feet and will be a disappointment for those with flat feet. They come in 6 basic color options so these shoes are an overall good buy for basic yet high performing travel shoes.

Yay

Lightweight walking shoes good for long hiking distances.
Lace up shoe design for better fit and grip.
Slip resistant rubber outsole offers decent traction on water and snow.
Has a mesh lining that is helpful with sweat-induced odor control.
The leather and textile design with padded collar fits well without being too wide or too narrow on most foot shapes.

Nay

The arch support, while okay for normal feet, isn’t great enough to provide comfort to flat feet or feet with other problems.

YES, SHOW ME THE BEST PRICE RIGHT NOW!

 

ALEADER Women’s Quick Drying Aqua Water Shoes

Remember when I talked about swimming in your travel shoes? Well, lucky you, it doesn’t seem like a far flung idea anymore, and these shoes are made to do that job. These ALEADER shoes take the next spot in our list of best travel shoes women should own because of several reasons.

First off, these are wicker light shoes that won’t add tons of weight to your feet that some hiking shoes are guilty of, thereby making them extremely comfortable to wear. Next and probably the most important reason in this context: they are made specifically for the purpose of getting drenched! Be informed though, these are not water proof or water resistant shoes. Rather, they feature a quick drying technology. The shoes are made of a mesh fabric upper and rubber outsole with holes. These two features combined make it easier for water to drain out of them as well as let air circulate well so the shoes can dry off much faster than other leather-made shoes.

They are also really good looking in terms of design and there’s a wide range of colors to choose from. However the downside is that these super light shoes compromise a bit on the durability and longevity. Prolonged usage on rugged terrains or during intense activities like long runs will lower their shelf life.

Yay

Extremely lightweight shoes made for the purpose of athletic adventures.
Created out of mesh specifically for use in wet conditions; dries superfast.
When wet, they don’t pull at the soles or make squishing sounds.
Fit is comfortable enough to wear for prolonged periods.

Great design and variety of color options.
An affordable option of footwear for the travel purposes.

Nay

Not super durable; won’t hold up with jogging or running.

YES, SHOW ME THE BEST PRICE RIGHT NOW!

TOMS Women’s Classics Birch Multi Rainbows Loafer

Sometimes us girls just can’t make up our minds as to whether we want to protect our feet or dress up our feet. Guess what? We don’t have to choose (yep, sometimes life is sweet like that)! And frankly, we don’t always need to look like sport junkies in our hardcore sporty travel shoes. The best shoes for traveling can also play the role of adding a fun element to your outfit when the design is this cute.

Made of canvas and textile lining into a classic loafer design, these shoes are comfortable and easy to wear and take off, thanks to the elastic V panel. There is also decent arch support provided from the latex and suede cushioned footbed.

However, one of the best reasons to buy your first (or next) pair of Toms is the philanthropic opportunity that comes with it. Toms pledges to give away a new pair of shoes to a needy child with every purchase to make. Shopping can’t get any better than this!

Yay

Cute design! The fashionista in you will be happy.
Classic loafers that go with most everything.
Very light and comfortable on the feet.
Elastic V-panel makes wearing and taking off of shoes easier than lace up designs.

Nay

As with loafers, choosing the right size is of paramount importance as they could run small or large with the slightest size difference.

YES, SHOW ME THE BEST PRICE RIGHT NOW!

 

Xero Shoes Barefoot-inspired Sport Sandals – Women’s Z-Trail

Any discussion on the best shoes for travel won’t be over without talking about at least one pair of open toe sandals. Because as much as dexterous closed shoes are, they can’t beat the comfort open toe sandals provide. Xero shoes have built the reputation of being the leaders on that front. These Z-Trails are so minimalistically designed that you’d almost feel like you’re barefoot, which is why the name.

The USP of these sandals is the zero-drop design that means there is no drop from the heel to the ball of your foot, subscribing to the belief that your feet are naturally zero-drop, and hence this design naturally facilitates good posture. These shoes are also extremely light and comfortable to wear, so you can take them on a variety of activities like kayaking to hiking to just a holiday at the beach. It is a clean design that looks good with your casual clothes.

However, these shoes, while water resistant, pose the problem of sliding off of your feet when they are wet. This could be partially caused due to the heel cup design, so there’s a slight hitch there. But overall, these sandals provide a great value for the money spent and are not just easy to wear but are easy to pack as well, making them travel-friendly in more ways than one.

Yay

Open toe sandals for maximum breathability of feet.
Zero drop sole design that helps with posture.
Very lightweight.
Multifunctional; apt for usage for a variety of different activities.
Easy to wash and maintain.

Nay

Feet slide forward when sandals are wet.
The heel cup might cause slight discomfort.

Skirt Trends for Fall 2017

This fashion season, skirts are trending everywhere: in all sizes, materials, and colors, of course!  All around street style and runway shows, girls went crazy about them. The designers like Dior, Victoria Beckham, and others showed us a lot of models, that very soon became our new favorites skirt trends.

The most presentable and the most favorite ones were pleated midi skirts, plaid (in combo with blazers and pants) and long skirts. They appeared a lot on the It-girls from the fashion world and it was amazing to see all the combinations that they were wearing.

That is how I have found my inspiration for this post.

Check out the best models of the skirts that you can buy and wear on fall and winter days.

Pleated Skirts

Oh, the pleads. A trend that our moms used to adore before it has completely disappeared. But thankfully, they are back in town! And guess what, they look pretty amazing. Are you wondering how the It-girls are wearing them? Let’s check it out, fashionista!

Italians do it best, is that right? Well, after this wonderful outfit combination that we have seen, personally, I can’t agree more! Vogue editor Giovanna Battaglia really knows how to wear pleads and rainbow colors together, and make it so that it still doesn’t look over-the-line!

On the other hand, if you are a fan of dressing only in one color, then you should definitely try this! Another Italian It-girl was walking in this cool monochrome outfit combo, and all the eyes were on her!

 

Mixing different materials was always a good thing to do. If that is not amusing to you, then what is it?! Try wearing the skirt that had pleads in two materials (cotton and tulle), just like in the photo above.

Did you like the plaids?

Shop similar look here: 

Simple Retro Women’s Midi Skirt Pleated Skirt A-Line High Waist Skirts for Fall Winter

Midi and Long Skirts

A very common material for the fall season 2017 is definitely leather. If the combination of red and pink colors doesn’t seem to be your cup of tea, don’t worry. It is completely allowed to mix these two colors this fashion season, so why don’t you give it a try? If your answer is still no, it’s okay, because I’ve prepared a great black substitution for you.

Shop similar long leather skirt here:

Plaid absolutely dominated the fashion scene. The trend made a really big comeback and it looks so cool on the skirts. It would be a shame not to try wearing it at least once! Wear it in classy, earth tones, like the one and only Olivia Palermo.

Shop similar long skirt here:

MFrannie Women Houndstooth Swing Woolen Maxi Long Skirt With Pockets

I’ve prepared something sweet for the end. Polka dots! A great polka dot silk skirt, that has maxi length, and guess what? You can wear it with sneakers. It really looks great when paired with the white sweater. If you are following the latest trends, you know that the belt bag is totally in this season!

I hope that you have found this style guide interesting!
What are you waiting for? Go and find your perfect skirt for fall and winter!
