When we think of summer we usually imagine wearing strappy sandals or cute wedges with our favourite warm-weather outfits but the weather in the UK can be a little unpredictable, especially in the summer! You may find that temperatures do not soar as high as you would hope or maybe you end up with 3 months of pouring rain. Whatever the reason, it is not always possible to wear sandals and you are going to need something a little sturdier to wear on your feet. So here are some tips for wearing boots in the summer.
Go colourful
Not only are black boots a little intense for summer but the dark colour will absorb the heat and can be uncomfortable in even the slightest bit of sunshine. This is the perfect opportunity to try out some different colours whether you prefer the keep it understated with some elegant tan or gorgeous cream boots, or if you want to try something bold like mustard yellow or bright red. There are also some beautiful patterned or embroidered boots on offer that will make the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe.
Dresses with chunky boots
Summer is the perfect time to break out those floaty, floral dresses but the weather is not always appropriate so by adding a t-shirt underneath and switching your sandals for some boots you can create a look that keeps you cool in the sun whilst also protecting you against the chilly summer breeze. Chunky boots can be a great way to counteract the casualness of a summer dress or add a bit of edge to your look if you prefer something a little more chic.
Keep your look light
While boots add a bit of edginess to your outfit, you might end up feeling a little less summery and somewhat out of place in a beer garden or at a barbeque. To help prevent your boots from overpowering your look you should try and keep your clothes bright and feminine. This means you can wear that frilly dress or floaty top that you felt was a little too bright or too cute – because a nice pair of boots will help to balance it out and create an outfit suitable for any occasion.
Summer workwear
Dressing for work in warmer weather can be challenging because the summer dress and sandals you usually pick out to keep you cool are not typically accepted as officewear, no matter how hot it is. However, you can easily make your favourite floaty dress more work appropriate by adding a blazer or tailored jacket and opting for a pair of stylish tan boots.
Boots and Denim
Denim has withstood the test of time because it can be worn in any season as a dress, shorts, jeans or even a cute jumpsuit. And what could go better with this timeless trend than another timeless trend? A denim jacket, dress and some neutral-toned boots are a classic summer outfit that works for any event, age and time of day!.
