Trend Report: Military Bootie

Written by Ashley

Ok, ok. So these have been around for a while… but Beyoncè’s lace up Timberland’s are [fingers crossed] a thing of the past. Are you diggin’ these military heel looks from Piperlime.com? Oh so far from the normie black boot for chilly season.

Clockwise from top left.

  1. Crafted with sex-kitten-esque yet manageable 4 3/4 stilettos, these are your cold weather solution to the black pump:  Steven by Steve Madden Caylyn in Olive $229 [buy]
  2. Open toed? Yes please! Wear bare toed with footless tights to show off neon polish for some funk: Charles by Charles David Krave in Green: $139.99 [buy]
  3. The platform on this is nothing to scoff at, giving the perfect mix of military & femme. Wear with sheer tights for a sex-pot look, or add chunky oatmeal colored socks to feel the air of fall for day. Elizabeth and James Moxy in Mocha Suede $395 [buy]
  4. Out of all in this mix, these are your go anywhere, do anything boot. Tough ankle support, non-slip sole and a 4 inch heel to keep it sexy. LIKE. Nine West Donley in Dark Brown $129 [buy]
  5. Ok, so they zip, got me. BUT, since you won’t be paying a fortune on these warm & cozy faux-shearling lined booties, you can reach for these rather than … UGGs… to pop out to get coffee, head to the grocery store, or commute to the office. Zip them up all the way for a sleek look, and feel the warmth. KensieGirl Ramina in Military $79 [buy]
