As usual some trends from the previous season stay with us for another couple of months and you can wear them with dignity. And there are a few new ones that will complement our spring wardrobe.

Platform sandals
If you are a real fashionista this trend just needs to be in your wardrobe as almost every designer paid attention to it and created truly nice pieces for us to wear. They are perfect for many reasons. First, they are beautiful. They come in bright hues and original designs, from cage look to the one providing lots of coverage. Second, they are more comfortable to wear than ordinary heels. And third, they are super-glamorous and some celebrities have already been spotted wearing those.

Mary Janes
These shoes are ideal for office and the girls who simply love elegant footwear. The shoes come in various colors and can be very strict or exremely fresh and colorful. What you choose depends on you! Peep-toe Mary Janes have returned too!

Sky-high Heels
Despite all the arguments this type of shoes will always exist as there are plenty of women who are ready to suffer bunions and feet deformations to look stylish like Posh. Many brands presented high stilettos in their ranges, from classic Burberry to rock-chic DSquared2.

Kitten Heels
Although we admire the look of glamorous sky-high shoes we do think about our health. In this sense kitten heel can be attractive. And lots of women have already embraced this trend and walk freely in streets and even offices. Kitten heels are small and therefore comfortable. They are the great choice for ladies who hate flats but care about their feet.

Artsy Heels
In eveyday life we all want something simple and comfy but there are occasions when you want to stand out, to be the best, the brightest, to be the focus of attention. And in these cases artsy shoes are perfect. Alexander McQueen, Nina Richi, Gianfranco Ferre – all are known for making such footwear. And this type of shoes is always in fashion. Exclusive things are always trendy.

Wedges
Wedges are a good alternative to high heels. They can be high but stylish and comfortable. You can walk in them easily and feel fantastic. New wedges are super-modern and come in chic fabrics.

Middle-sized platforms
This type of footwear may not be very glamorous but it is exceptionally comfortable. When you are in them you feel like you are wearing flats but you don’t feel all that roughness and lumps of the ground.

Flats
Yes, flats are trendy, too. Don those as often as you like! Flat thong sandals are very hot this season as well.

High boots
These might seem to be a great contrast to flats. But actually you feel nice wearing them. The can be made of silk or lace, or be military-inspired like Jean Paul Gaultier offers.

Ankle Boots
Ankle boots have been with us for a few seasons and will definitely stay one more.Often called as “summer boots” ankle boots remain fierce and funky but fabrics have a softer edge. This season we see ankle-sandals, lace-ups, bandage-style straps, wedges, and peep-toes.

Tribal Chic
A touch of tribal is necessary in any collection to add some national coloring. Wild animal print sandals with their dramatic stitching and striking shapes do look sumptuous and can be matched to bold floral dresses or any stylish pants.

Sheer detailing
This season some designers suggest us wearing shoes that come with plastic or chiffon detailing, in fact any material that can provide the shoe with transparency. It looks interesting and sexy but I wonder whether it is comfortable.

Oxford Brogues
Boyish brogues are brought to women’s fashion. It seems that men become more feminine while women tend to be more masculine. I don’t understand this tendency. However, not everything we have given to men yet, as even brogues come with frills and ruffles.

Socks + Shoes
The most horrible trend ever, for me. But we saw lots of shoes and sandals together with socks on the runway, and it’s a definitely a trend. So, if you have no prejudice against this trend which I do have, show a rebellious streak and wear socks with your favorite sandals.

But those choices we have on the market aren’t much attractive and we still tend to wear more common footwear being aware of the fact it won’t last long.

So, it’s great news that Vivienne Westwood has created fabulous booties in collaboration with Australian footwear line, Melissa.

These lilac-colored galoshes come from the partners’ Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

It is made of 100% PVC and features an almond toe and slight heel, and hits just above the ankle. To add some glamour and femininity to the boots Westwood attached a black PVC bow on front.

These boots are definitely for confident and quirky ladies who aren’t afraid to turn heads while they rush through rain puddles.

Looks nice and unusual!

The boots cost approximately $125.

Here are 5 tips for you to use when choosing your winter outfits:

Tip 1: Opt for warm clothes for the upper part of your body

To keep warm you need to choose good items to dress your upper part. The main thing is to choose the right fabric and length to avoid fatter look.

Find a top with long sleeves that narrow to wrists. This can be a silky blouse or the one of another flimsy material. Don’t wear tops with wide wrist area even if those are top trendy. Cold wind can go inside and you might catch a severe chest cold.

Don a sweater or a clinging shirt over the blouse. What is important here is that the bottom part of the sweater/shirt shouldn’t be wide either, because you will look fatter. Those women who like wearing cashmere and wool know that properties of the material are what matter not the thickness of it.

Tip 2: Wear sexy but warm lingerie

If your lingerie is all the way covered with the clothes it doesn’t mean you can wear something horrible down there. Don’t sacrifice your femininity to the cold. It’s possible to find sexy but warm underwear.

Tip 3: Keep your feet warm

If you wear trousers don thin tights underneath. The best fabric for winter trousers is wool. And trousers should be tight-fitting.

If you prefer skirts, opt for warmer tights. And of course the longer the skirt the warmer you feel. Forget about skirts which widen to the bottom. Straight design is the best.

No matter what you choose, trousers or a skirt, you should wear a good pair of high boots which can protect your feet and ankles from the cold. Opt for high boots of the same color as your skirt or trousers.

Tip 4: Select the right coat

A coat or an anorak should be of high quality and warm. The length of it determines your entire look. Choose a coat that fits you well and flatters your figure. Opt for a design that lengthens your silhouette rather than shortens it.

To create a casual look, choose short coats or anoraks. But be careful as a too short anorak can create a ‘ball’ effect at the belly and you will look fatter. Hip-long coat or an anorak looks good on everyone and it is comfortable as well.

For a smart look opt for a coat that goes down your knees or a bit higher. Trapeze-shaped, short and loose coats look more casual than smart. The color of your anorak or a coat depends on the color of your clothes. Everything should go in harmony.

Tip 5. Keep your head warm

Headband, hat, kerchief, beret – there are so many types of headwear nowadays and you can easily find something that flatters you the most. Just don’t allow your head to get cold. Experiment with details (add a brooch, flower, etc.)

To stay elegant don’t forget about the makeup. Accentuate your lips. And take care of your hair, it should look good.

All these tips will make your winter look more stylish. And don’t forget about smile when you choose your clothes. Then you’ll make a better choice. Good luck!
