Fall 2008 shoe trends are bold, sparkling and sometimes a little wild as animal prints, primary colors, crystals, and motorcycle inspired boots. By the way, suede and satin are back this fall too!
So here are the hottest styles for shoes Autumn/Winter 2008/2009:
Ankle boots
You’ll find them in all shapes and sizes, from fierce gladiator boots, which are like wintry version of this summer’s hit gladiator sandals to femme-fatal. If you have short legs or thick ankles, any footwear cropped at the ankle won’t make your legs slimmer or longer. So for a more flattering effect try a slimline, low cut, dark colored-style and wear them with the matching tights or skinny jeans. That way you visually extend your legs and make them slimmer.
Fringe shoes
Military boots
Don’t be afraid to look a bit less feminine this fall. Though when pairing military boots with some cute dress you get a totally new and bold look. Try to put on a new face for a while!
Flat boots
Knee high slouch boots
Tall cuffed boots
Puss-in-Boots style makes a comeback these days. Whether you like them flat or with heels these boots look great over tights of a similar tone or skinny jeans.
Exotic skins
Exotic skins, especially snake skin is hugely popular this upcoming season. Snake skin was one of the main highlights of Gucci Fall/Winter 2008/2009 women’s collection – along with matching bags.
Giraffe and leopard prints are great on pumps, stilettos and wedges. There’s only one thing you should keep in mind when turning to animal prints – everything is good in moderation.
