It’s anti-trend! Top 5 Winter Shoe Mistakes We’ve All Made

Finding beautiful sandals is not difficult – every top shoe brand has a nice model. There are not so many requirements for it: it must be comfortable, trendy and bright – after all, summer! But in winter, we ask ourselves a lot of questions about shoes: is it warm? Comfortable? True to size, allows you to wear a thick sock? Suitable for down jacket / coat / jacket / fur coat? To match with jeans/chinos/skirt/dress? Will he survive next season?

To put it mildly, “face control” (or even shoe control) turns out to be serious. As always, we begin to deal with the problem of the opposite: first, figure out how not to wear winter shoes, and then select stylish models for the cold. We have already prepared a guide to the most beautiful shoes for you!

So the first mistake we all make sometimes in winter is to trust the mid-season. The puncture is very clearly felt when the temperature outside the window drops below -10 degrees: then low insulated shoes, Chelsea boots and high boots will not save us. Yes, they look great, but their time ends in November at best, in some areas even earlier. In the cold, you need real winter boots, high fur boots, dutiks and warm hikers for sunny days.

All this, of course, is very beautiful – up to the first puddle of ice, which has turned into a skating rink and takes you straight to the emergency room. This photo, by the way, was taken during Fashion Week 2015: then it was almost impossible not to wear stilettos – everyone did. Now, fortunately, fashionistas have seen the charm of a stable column heel, and the traumatic stiletto heel is left for truly appropriate images.

The great scourge of winter outfits is the wrong pants. Here we have separately collected 5 of the most unfortunate models of 2022 – they are, in principle, difficult to style, and in “gratitude” they can also crop your figure. Pants that end at the ankle and, moreover, have an extension at the hips, threaten to reduce your height by a few centimeters.

We have nothing against accent boots – on the contrary, it’s one of our favorite things. You can transform your favorite monochromatic look by simply adding shoes in an unusual color or style. But it would be a big mistake to buy only such non-trivial models – and who will take care of the base? Winter shoes should not only be beautiful and warm, but also versatile: you will wear them with different outerwear, and each time the combination should be harmonious.

Therefore, do not forget that in winter, boots and “dutiks” of black / beige / brown / gray colors will definitely come in handy – depending on what shades you wear, a fur coat, a jacket and a down jacket.

We return to the question that the wrong combination of pants and shoes can shorten the legs. But this is only one of the problems: cargo tucked into winter cossacks, skinny jeans with thin thigh high boots or a midi skirt with medium-high boots can look inharmonious.
