To go with the new neo-Edwardian suits,
look for thick crepe soled
brothel creepers, either buckled or laced up in big and bulky styles.
These shoes are detailed with bold fixings like heavy laces, two or three
buckles or chunky zips. For those who want a less aggressive look, the
return of the classic Chelsea ankle boot with a thicker heel will be a new
option.
Dark leathers are favourite for this winter look. Colours such as black and nearly black, very dark purple, green, or inky blue-black are perfect colours for the darker evenings.
A more stylish work boot. Short ankle boots with fleecy lining and decorated with fleece insets and tight laces will keep out the frost. To jazz up an old plain pair of boots, tie leather laces around the ankle and under the bridge of your foot.
Laced up boots are primary favourites but a zip makes it easier to put on a boot. Decorations on boots are simple with thick double or single rows of stitching accenting the contours of the boot. Boots may also be decorated with buckled straps placed just on the ankle, acting like the laces would if tied around the ankle. The soles give good traction in the snow with welting a neccessary feature for winter boots.
To match the winter palette, boots will be available in winter pastels. Look out for mint greens, cream, ivory and stone.
Shoes for the student are simple -- ankle boots with brogue punching, and
the
utilitarian styled monks and gibsons with subtle details of tone of tone
decorations.
The retro trainer still has a place on the campus.
Laces are worn short, just enough to tie a tidy bow. Boots and shoes may have some fine piping or raised leather detail around the vamp or heel.
Brogues come in their traditional browns; other styles that come in more
intense browns like mocha and mahogany have red oxblood highlights and are
highly polished.
