Fancy Footwork: Boots with Buckles & Embellishments

kristina bazan bootie nyc street style

You heard it here first—the bootie is the new pump.

Pay close attention to the buckles and embellishments on this season’s boots—we’re into Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino. Modern and fresh, the bootie will give your lady dress an edgy, sexy update without the “precious” feel of a pump.

Here are four ways you can wear this season’s hottest booties:

  1. Pair them with satin opaque tights for an elongating, flattering effect.
  2. Take it one step further and shorten your mid-length dress a notch for the coveted 1960s mod look.
  3. Find a little “Audrey” dress that’s been sitting in your closet, throw on a cardigan, add a bootie, and voila—you have a go-to office look.
  4. Bring your bootie from day into evening by pairing it with a festive LBD and a chic clutch—just in time for Holiday party season!
