How to Choose Warm Footwear for the Office

Winter is fast approaching. It’s time to put away those summer shoes and don some shoes suitable for the season. For most women, winter shoes are the most difficult as they need to consider comfort (above everything else) and still maintain style and poise.



If your office is a little bit more casual than corporate, here’s a guide for every stylish woman on how to choose great warm shoes:



1. Ankle Boots. These are for women who wear pencil skirts and structured shift dresses or long jeans at the office. They keep the feet protected from the cold while keeping fashion conscious. For 2011, a red pair makes a great statement.



2. Thigh-High Boots. Of course, these all-purpose boots will never be out-dated. For women with long legs, a pair of these fashionable boots will look great. Either without heels or with high heels, they are easy to wear with skinny jeans and above the knee-length skirts or dresses and tights. It’s advisable to avoid heavy detailing on the boots and staying with the basic, simple, sleek and elegant pair. A camel colour is the most versatile and stylish colour for this year.



3. Brogues. The perfect alternative to leaky ballet flats, brogues are the perfect footwear option for the office. They’ll keep your feet warm and dry even when it’s cold and wet outside, and they look great paired with opaque stockings and a shift dress, or pants and skinny jeans cuffed slightly at the ankle.



4. Riding Boots. Yes, they are also perfect for an office environment. Although more of an outdoor style, these boots provide enough elegance and compliments leggings, skinny jeans, miniskirts and military-style coats. Keep the rest of your clothes tailored for a professional look.



This season, winter boots are back with a vengeance. Designers have made sure that they come up with the latest trends that will keep those women warm and always in fashion. Boots are the perfect warm, stylish option when your office permits more casual shoes to be worn.
