That’s right, with each new season comes more than just a change in the weather – there’s also the opportunity to find new fashion trends for our wardrobes! And for the fashionistas, the best part about the arrival of winter –  is the chance to update our cold weather accessories!

Well, for this brisk, chilly and downright cold season, the emphasis is on the 2-L’s.

What are the 2-L’s?

Layering and Leather!
Layer your clothing with great basic pieces and Leather up with some stunning ladies leather boots!

The great thing about ladies leather boots is that they never go out of style and this year, they’re literally taking the fashion world by storm! From thigh highs to ankle length, ladies leather boots have the ability to keep a girl warm and make her look HOT at the same time!

Be sure to check out the many styles available, as well as the various options in linings. You can even wear them over your favorite pair of cashmere socks! There’s so much to choose from that surely there’s a perfect pair (or pairs) for everyone!  This season you’ll find them combined with sexy little black dresses just as often as you’ll find them as the finishing touch to a comfy pair of leggings and a turtleneck tunic!
A ladies leather boot fashion tip that you should consider when shopping – and wearing – is to keep your boots and legs in the same tone of color meaning, don’t break up the leg by wearing a short skirt and tights and boots in three different colors. For example, wear your black boots with black tights or a deep gray shade.
The idea is to try to keep one long visual line on the leg to add height and length.

Slip on your leather boots and invite those cold snaps in – then embrace them with both warmth and fabulous fashion!

And while there is still a place for the western leather boot – like on prairies, in rodeos and in country music bars while performing the Electric Slide, the leather boots of today are all about chic fashion. Oh yeah, and staying warm too! So who’s wearing ladies leather boots these days and what are they wearing them with?

Well, to answer those very important questions we need only take a look around and find that every smart-dressed woman is wearing them and they’re wearing them with just about everything! Recently, the always adorable Hillary Duff was seen wearing a pair of black leather thigh high boots, with gray leggings and a great black tunic. The fabulous , Hillary Swank, Hayden Panettiere and Kate Moss pulled off the thigh-high ladies leather boots as well.

Proving that they’re for everybody, the Mrs. Sarah Palin wore her black patent leather boots with a well tailored business suit while trekking along the campaign trail. She was also recently seen in a pair of leopard print boots!

Ladies leather boots come in every style from the short ankle boot way on up, up, up to the top of the thigh! Wearing them doesn’t take any special fashion sense other than the sense to look fantastically chic and sophisticated. If your clothes are well fitting and the boots are in good shape, then so are you! Put them on with jeans, long skirts, short skirts, skirts in between. Wear them with slacks, business suits, even shorts can go with boots!

When shopping for your ladies leather boots, search the internet for not only great deals but for great ideas too. Check out celebrities and regular everyday Janes to see what they’re matching their boots up with. Pick your favorites looks and leave the rest. Fashion is about personal style and part of one’s style is comfort. If you’re not feeling good in your ladies leather boots, then you’re not looking good in them either.

Choose from high heeled boots to flat soled ones. Fur-lined ladies leather boots come in several lengths as do silk lined and unlined designs. And if you think there’s a lot of styles to choose from, wait until you see all of the colors and patterns available for the picking!

Every woman needs at least one pair of ladies leather boots, and many women need many more pairs! Depending on her comfort zone as well as her climate zone, a woman can get away with wearing leather boots a few times a week in the cold weather months, but not always the same pair! Mix it up! Yellow leather boots to start the work week; red fur-lined on a Wednesday and smack ‘em down with a stunning, sexy pair of thigh high black leather boots with your favorite jeans on casual Friday!

Ladies leather boots are a must have accessory and can take a basic, so-so outfit and turn it completely around just by zipping, buckling, lacing or buttoning them on.

Why?

Because, and this may sound harsh,  many times short girls in thigh high boots look like little girls playing in mommy’s closet.

So what boot can the petite woman pull off and look terrific while doing it?

Well, let’s first start at the beginning.

Before boots can enhance any woman’s look, they must first fit the woman.
Things like saggy ankles and loose calves can make a short slim leg seem somewhat shorter as well as bulky and baggy. This could actually lead to visual weight gain – meaning, they can make her look fat!  Therefore, if a petite woman has thin ankles and calves, she should purchase boots that have a molded form and some stretch to them so that they’re form fitting on the leg.

If the opposite is true and a short woman has a thicker bottom leg area, then she should opt for a stretchy but non-molded boot. There may still be a need to wear them for a little while before heading outdoors so that they can be stretched in the areas that are feeling a bit too snug.

Short girls also shouldn’t wear their boots on the outside of their jeans. Many do and while it doesn’t look horrible, the unfortunate outcome is a short girl who looks even shorter, in a great pair of boots.

Now that short girls know what they shouldn’t do, here are a few tips on what they should do:

Wear your boots anywhere from the ankle to just under the knee and if you have beautiful knees and tan legs, then leave off the hose and pair them with a skirt that lands just about an inch to a few inches above the knee.
If the short girl wants to wear a mini with her boots, she should! Just be sure to wear it with a pair of hose or leggings; preferably in a shade that blends in with the boot – this will visually lengthen the leg a bit.

Leather boots are available in options such as zip, pull-up and combination buckle-up or zipper stretch styles. They also come in so many colors BUT – be careful with colorful boots. If you’re one of those supermodel types that can pull anything off, then by all means, go for it.
If you’re not, then look for the basics in color and if you want to be a bit daring, why not go for red or burgundy or deep blue or gray? They’re fun colors without being too funky.
Let’s face it, short girls don’t need the entire focus to be on their feet. Bring the eye up by choosing bold accessories on top rather than pink and black striped leather boots.

For more ideas and for the opportunity to find great specials and discounts on ladies leather boots and boots for petite or short women, search the internet or check your local retailers.

Thigh highs look terrific on a tall, slim body in either skinny jean, leggings or mini-skirts and shorts. Wear them with any top because if you’re sporting the figure that can pull off the thigh high boot, then you can pretty much look stunning in anything! Of course, while you’re busy looking fabulous, you can be sure you’ll be keeping other people busy as they look at you and envy just how fabulous you look!

If you’re wondering where to find a great pair (or a few great pairs) of ladies thigh highs boots, start your shopping online and don’t be afraid of sizing issues because online retailers have sizing charts that make it easy.

Thigh high and fold over thigh high boots are not only a fashionista’s must have accessory, they’re also the wardrobe staple of every diva hottie from the tropics to the arctic!

If you’ve got the basics but aren’t sure how to properly put them all together, and if you’re wondering how to get the riding boots look without looking like you’ve just finished riding , then follow these easy tips:
The Skinny Pants:

Skinny jeans and pants in a dark color/dark denim, are terrific tucked into ladies leather riding boots. Pair them with a button-down, long-sleeved, cotton shirt, tailored blazer and a loosely knotted scarf; or try a fabulous tunic, a great pair of leather gloves and oversized leather bag for a put-together, classic appearance.

The Skirt:

A sexy short tweed pencil or pleated skirt with tights (optional) that match the leather riding boots are a perfect trio.
Matching the tights to the boots will keep the legs from being visually cut in three different areas - resulting in a longer leaner looking leg. Add a soft cashmere cardigan set or oxford button down with a loose hanging knit scarf.

The Dress:

Don’t wear your ladies leather riding boots with a long dress that covers the top of the boot. Keep the hemline above the boot. Also, if wearing them, be sure to match your tights to your boots.
Wrap around, form hugging, dresses look amazing with riding boots – especially when paired with an oversized leather handbag. Knit dresses are also great with riding boots but keep in mind that it’s best to wear this look when you’re in shape because any bumps and bulges will be enhanced in a form hugging dress.

No matter what type of ladies leather boots you’re wearing, you’ve got to make sure they’re in great shape. There’s nothing sexy or even remotely attractive about dull, scuffed boots with worn down heels. For that matter, there’s also nothing comfortable about wearing boots with rundown soles.

For ladies leather boots that are made of suede, leather, exotic leather or Nubuck, the following four-step program will provide tips and techniques that will help improve and prolong their life, performance and looks.

IMPORTANT: When using cleaning and care products, be sure to test them on a small area of your boot first! If you’re unsure about the material your boots are made from, check the label or check with a shoe care professional.

Cleaning Your Boots

First step in caring for your favorite boots is cleaning. If you are careful to clean them properly and often, they’ll maintain that new boot look and you’ll remain the every stylish fashion diva that you are!

Leather: Purchase a quality leather cleaner and using a damp sponge, cloth or soft bristled brush, lather up your boots both inside and out. Refrain from dunking your boots in water! Just use the dampened cloth and cleaning solution so that you can clean the perspiration from the inside of your leather boots as well as the dirt from the outside. Once your ladies leather boots are clean, allow them to air dry. Refrain from putting them near a heat source because that can actually dry out the leather and cause cracking and other damage.

Exotic Leather: Leather boots made from snakes, alligators, etc., are considered exotics. Use a mild cleaning solution that is made specifically for exotic leathers. If your leather boots contain scales, begin the cleaning process by gently brushing off dirt with a soft brush or cloth. The scaled exotic leathers should not be soaked with solutions because they are made with special membranes that hold the scales together. Be careful not to destroy that membrane. Use as little force and as little product as possible on scales but do your best to keep them clean and not allow dirt to build up between the scales as this will also damage the membrane.

Suede & Nubuck Boots: Suede and nubuck have their own cleaning products so be sure to purchase the appropriate type. For dry stains, try very gently rubbing a pencil eraser over the stain. Use a plastic or rubber tipped brush to gently brush the surface and bring the material back to it’s original state. Nubuck must be brushed with extreme care so as not to damage it. If the stains are particularly tough, consider a salt remover product or a professional shoe cleaning shop.

 Conditioning Your Ladies Leather Boots

Step two in the four step program is to condition your boots. Conditioning helps to soften and lubricate the material which allows your boots to be more pliable. The creased area just below the toes need special attention as this is the most prone to cracking. Read product labels and be sure to get the appropriate conditioner for the appropriate type of leather.

Leather: After cleaning your leather boots, while still damp, apply one light coat of conditioner. Allow it to absorb for 24 hours and then repeat the process.

Ladies Exotic Leather Boots: Choose a lanolin based conditioner and try to condition your exotic leather boots more often than your other leather boots because it aids in keeping the membranes supple.

Ladies Suede & Nubuck Boots: Oiled Nubuck should be conditioned with a specific Nubuck conditioner. This will help to replace the oils that are removed when worn. Suede boots need a water-based conditioner to keep them from drying out.

Steps 3 & 4 are Polishing and Protecting.

IMPORTANT: Only polish finished leather boots!

Leather: As stated above, finished leather can be polished as opposed to unfinished leather boots which should not be polished. So what exactly is finished leather? It’s raw leather that’s been processed with chemicals that leave it with a smooth and shinier finish. To polish finished leather, choose a cream based product that is tinted in the color of the leather. This will help to cover blemishes, scuffs and scratches and add a glossy finish. Avoid wax based polishers for finished leather as it can cause build up and eventually cracking.

LadiesExotic Leather Boots: As opposed to actual polishing, the best protection you can offer your exotic leathers is to apply a water repellant to keep out the dirt and dust.

Ladies Suede & Nubuck Boots: Waterproof! Waterproof! Waterproof! The best way to keep your suede or nubuck boots looking new is to keep them protected with a water and stain repellant. Be sure to choose a product made for suede or nubuck.

From celebrities to runway models to Mary-Jo Housewife, ankle length leather boots are a wardrobe basic that all of us can look great in! You’ll see them on the red carpets and on the walkways and even at the grocery store, and you’ll love them.
Many times we, the average girls, will see fashion trends and avoid them because we’re just not sure how to pull off “that look.”

Well, fear no more!

If you want to wear your ladies leather ankle boots with a short dress:

Flatter your body type. You want your legs to appear long, not short and stubby.
Choose a short dress that skims rather than hugs the body. The more leg showing, the longer the leg will look but, the tighter the dress, the more off balance the body will look.

Wearing your ankle boots with tights, jeans or pants:

Wear your ladies leather ankle boots with tights in a similar color to the boot to lengthen the leg and give visual height. Skinny jeans or leggings should also be in the same or near same color as the ankle boot. This will avoid a break in the look of the leg and will allow it to seem like a more continuous line. Wear the jean in the boot if possible but not if it will bunch up because that is not attractive. Wear it outside of the boot if necessary.
Try to keep your outfit monotone, monochromatic. Add a pop of color with some bright leather gloves or a patterned scarf.
When getting dressed and slipping on your ankle length leather boots remember this: Keep it simple and keep it balanced.

You don’t want to be bottom heavy or top heavy. You want a little touch of edgy and a little touch of style; not a big bulls eye on your feet. Blend them in to enhance your outfit not shock it!

While most of us envision Julia Roberts in her “Pretty Woman” role when we think of over the knee leather boots,  there’s no need to look like a lady of the night when wearing a pair of our own.

So how do we pull off the glamorous, put-together, runway model look when we’re not 6 feet tall and 90 pounds? Here are a few fashion stylist tips that will help you choose the right boot with the right outfit so that you look right on!

First of all, not every woman can wear a thigh-high leather boot. Some of us are just too wide in the thigh area and some of us are just plain too short to find a boot that doesn’t want to come right up to our butts!
Trying to stuff one’s butt into a ladies leather thigh high boot is just not common fashion sense.

Do not dismay! If the over the knee or thigh high boot look isn’t for you, there are hundreds of styles that are for you! Remember that boots are designed in ankle, mid-calf and below the knee too and that’s not just a coincidence, it’s because there are so many types of women and so many ways of wearing boots that we demand the variety!

Tip #1
Short Girls

Since over the knee ladies leather boots  can make a short girl look shorter by visually cutting her in half, it’s important that the short girl use her head when pulling off this look. That is always true when picking ladies shoes. Start with thinking tall! Next, minimize the visual break-ups in your look. Think tall and monotone! Choose to wear a black thigh high boot with a black pant in either a skinny jean or a pair of tights or leggings. If you’re wishing to wear them with a skirt then choose a pencil style skirt in the same color and slip on the tights and then the boots. This will give the eye a bottom and a top, without breaking it up in the middle and will add visual height and even appear to remove pounds! 

Tip #2
Tall Girls

Over the knee ladies leather boots can make a tall girl appear to be really tall. Unless you like the hooker look, choose to never wear your over the knee boots with a short skirt. It isn’t your fault of course, but let’s face it, legs up to there, in a skirt up to there with boots up to there is pretty much going to bring the focus – up to there.
So choose a low heel. Even a flat sole.
Try pairing your boots with skinny jeans or leggings and a tunic style shirt or even a winter white cable-knitted long cardigan. You’ll look hip and stunning!
Tip #3
Curvy Thighs

There’s nothing wrong with a healthy thigh on a healthy girl however, thighs that hang over your boots are as unattractive and a belly that hangs over your jeans.
So don’t do it. Don’t buy boots that are too small. Choose a boot that has room at the top to fit your size.
If you can’t find such a boot, then go lower. Below the knee styles are just as chic as above the knee.
If you manage to find the right pair of over the knee ladies leather boots, then pair them with tights or leggings so that there isn’t any skin showing above the boot and the skin that is exposed is held in by the tight material. This will give you a longer leaner look. Wear your over the knee boots with a black or gray sweater dress or wool skirt that comes down to almost the top of the boot.  A tailored trench coat or long cardigan will help to balance the look. Remember to check that you are not appearing to be a marshmallow on long stilts. Balance the top and the bottom and you’ll look terrific!

Tip #4
I can wear anything and look great!

We hate you – and we envy you! So go ahead hunny, wear those over the knee boots with your micro-mini or your short shorts and even if you do look like a hooker, we’re sure you look like a stunning hooker and that’s okay with us because only you can pull off high-fashion-hooker.
