4 Trendy Footwear For Winter

Just as you try out different costume wigs to change your looks sometimes, changing footwear every now and then can also mark a great difference in your overall personality.

Footwear changes with the season but how would you know what is in and what is out? Keep your eyes for the latest trends and then choose those that will suit you best. Winter is the time when you are covered up from head to toe but you do not have to look like a sack. Bring out the trendy woolens and encase your feet in these 4 trendy shoes.

• Riding Boots – Riding boots always leave you with a grungy feeling. Turn these boots into trendy footwear by opting for the black boots. These have minimal heel and you can wear them with jeans and also run errands without the least discomfort. Jean, a comfortable tee shirt and riding boots in black will make you look trendy. Cover your neck with a colorful scarf and top up the look with a suede or leather jacket. You will be the best-dressed woman around.

• Boots Over-the Knee – These are the sexiest boots available. If you already wear this type of boots, then perhaps you may already know how to draw attention to these boots. The way to do it to show off enough skin and the attention will be drawn to these boots. A sweater dress of green turtleneck, a hint of bare skin just above the boots and you will look sexy.

• Fur Wedges – These boots make you feel that it really is winter. Suede fur wedges with a shift dress will ensure that all eyes are on the chic girl in the room. Wherever you go, you will be the center of attention.

• Laced Up Boots – High-heeled boots with cuffed shots, tights and a blazer that sits well are the perfect match for these boots. They keep the military look without making you look like something out of the military academy. Wear this or find something that suits you more. There are a lot of deals that will go well with these boots.

These boots will keep your feet warm without making your look dowdy. Choosing the perfect ensemble is the key to subtly drawing attention to your trendy shoes. Go, flaunt them!

Transform From Soccer Dad to Handsome Lad

Who has seen Crazy, Stupid Love starring Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell? Well if you haven’t, here’s a quick summary on why this movie relates to fashion: Ryan Gosling’s character gives Steve Carell’s character a major makeover in order to score the ladies again and gain confidence when he is about to lose his wife in a divorce. Inspired by this movie and the hunky Ryan Gosling, I pledge to give you the fashion lowdown on how to look 10 years younger for all the males out there stuck in a style rut.

Let’s be honest, most men don’t have a clue about style. Not all, I said most, now stop scowling at me guys! You may think most middle-aged men are not so stylish but I have seen plenty of youngins in their twenties and thirties looking older than a 40 year old thanks to faded at the knee jeans, baggy polo tees and running sneakers. See example below:

Not only do you look nerdy and older, fellas, but you also appear shy, boring, not confident and definitely not interesting. Ouch! Changing your style will not only make you look better, but it will make you FEEL better and more confident and that’s what counts! Fashion is all about how you feel and expressing it! Girls like men who are confident and vice versa, but if you’re feeling shy and insecure, chances are your outfit is screaming it too!

Tops/Shirts/Sweaters

The way to appear stylish with tops is with layers! Winter is the best season to get away with wearing layers without worrying about sweating so much!

Sweaters over collared shirts, cardigans over button downs, topped off with ties, colors and prints, (plaid is trendy). Wear them fitted, not oversized and baggy and roll up the sleeves for a cooler look. See examples below:

Jeans

Ay yi yi, lose the plain, faded Levi’s and add some cool dark denim and distressed/ripped denim to your wardrobe for a more stylish, younger look. White jeans are hot too for the spring!

Dad jeans:

Handsome lad jeans:

Shoes

Running shoes are for running, not style! They don’t look cool with jeans and a tee. High tops are cool if you like urban style, converse are cool if you’re skater or preppy,  and hiker boots are cool if you’re edgy.

Suits

Suits should be fitted with the pants slim. You want to appear long and lean (like Ryan Gosling) not short and frumpy (like Danny Devito). Dark blue or gray suits are super sexy and more stylish than black but of course you can’t ever go wrong with black. Tie optional depending on the look you’re going for. Bow ties are super gentleman status for any age as well.

Accessories

Fedora hats are hot right now and so are geek glasses (I know it’s kind of hypocritical to say geek glasses are not geeky but today they are seen on both male and female celebs, such as David Beckham, Jay-Z, and more.)

I hope this helped all my men out there. I wanted to give you a quick overview of different categories of clothing, straight to the point. These quick and simple changes will change your look and confidence by a landslide.

All of these suggestions do work for all ages. Men in their 40s or 20s can rock hiker boots. Marc Anthony has a whole collection for Kohl’s, including hiker boots and he’s definitely not 20 something. Same goes for layers, suits, and hats and glasses. David Beckham IS in fact a soccer dad, and look how young and trendy he looks in geek glasses! I wouldn’t suggest ripped jeans for middle aged men but there’s nothing wrong with a nice, dark denim. Super handsome at any age!
