What Do I Wear With My Fur Topped Boots?


Fur topped boots make a fashion statement in a big way. When wearing them, you'll want to choose the rest of your outfit carefully, so as not to overwhelm the statement you are trying to make. You can create an outfit based around your fur boots that looks fabulous!



Pants
Fur boots are usually knee height, and because you want them to be the star of your outfit, you should tuck your pants into your boots. However, this look does not work with just any pants. Choose skinny jeans that have a straight leg so you don't have bulk above the fur boots. Pants should tuck smoothly into the boots without bunching at the top. You could also try wearing fur boots with a short skirt and opaque tights in the winter, which should help keep you warm and really feature the boots as the major piece in the outfit.

Tops
When choosing a top to wear with fur boots, you'll want to focus on two factors. The first is to choose a top with little embellishment, so that the detail on the top doesn't clash with the detail of the fur boots. And second, choose a shirt that has a little bulk, to balance the heft of the boots. You can do this through layering -- a long-sleeved T-shirt with a puffy vest looks simple but balances out your bottom half by matching the bulk. A zipped-up hooded sweater is also a good choice with a pair of fur boots.

Jackets
If you are wearing fur boots, it is probably chilly outside, so you'll want to wear a jacket as well. The most important factor when choosing a jacket to wear with fur boots is the length. Fur boots usually go to the knee, so choose a short jacket to avoid making yourself look shorter by covering your whole leg in boots and a jacket. Choose a jacket that is no longer than hip length. A puffy bomber jacket is a good choice for more causal fur boots, and a short pea-coat style jacket is great with fur boots that you want to dress up a little.

What Boots Are Best For Petite Women?

Fashion reporter Teri Agins

Tall boots are now seasonless fashion basics. Stylish women have many boots with a variety of heel heights and jazzy details, including trendy versions with cut-out "peep toes" and lacing, in materials from leather to stretch nylon and denim fabric.
Always wear your preferred skirt length or your skinniest jeans and leggings when you shop for tall boots, so you can study which silhouettes look the best. Boots should elongate your legs with an unbroken line, and shouldn't be too tight or too loose.
Shorter women will find the most-flattering versions are the sleekest, such as styles in stretch nylon. Avoid boots that bunch up around the ankle and those with a lot of embellishments, such as buckles and straps, which can make legs look thicker and shorter.
As you expand your boot wardrobe beyond black, try brown, burgundy and charcoal shades, as well as tan suede. Super-stiletto platform boots will make you taller, but the trade-off is loss of comfort. When a woman teeters around in too-high heels, she loses as much as she gains in height.
Boots should reach the lower edge of your kneecap. Avoid those that are shorter, such as mid-calf lengths that visually cut off your leg, or bridge the gap of exposed skin with black tights. Before buying thigh-high boots, spend a few minutes walking around the store and getting out of chairs to make sure they stay up without your having to constantly tug at them.
