Not a single wardrobe item provokes as many conflicting opinions as lace boots. Some consider them to be a sign of bad taste, while others are admirably worn in mild summer weather. The main thing to remember: acid-colored lace boots from the nearest market are not the only option for high shoes for the summer.
Why do not like lace boots?
Most often, people with taste claims do not arise to the lace itself, but to the shape of the boots as a whole. Style is first and foremost the art of the right lines: your clothes and shoes are designed to make the figure more elegant, sophisticated, and most importantly - proportional. But most often, speaking of lace boots, they mean consumer goods, which are massively sold in the markets. Often these are rather shapeless shoes of unsuccessful color, which, nevertheless, found a response in the hearts of customers as something unusual. Still - before the appearance of lacy boots on the trading shelves in 2009-2010, there was nothing similar on our market.
Another popular model is boots with perforation and an open toe. The reasons for their dislike are the same:
- impracticality;
- violation of the visual silhouette of the foot - an open toe roughly cuts off the leg and thereby shortens it;
- complex compatibility with other wardrobe items.
A separate item in the list of reasons for the dislike of lace boots can be noted mass occurrence. When they first appeared, all our compatriots thoughtlessly began to buy them. In the capital there was a real boom of lace boots. For some reason, women did not think that the same models of boots make them look like people from the incubator. In addition, most often the combination of boots with clothes was rather inept - no one thought about the integrity of the image. And until now, the openwork boots seen on someone make you wonder, is this girl all right with a sense of style?
How to choose a good model?
If you have decided for yourself that you like lace boots, then try to approach the choice of shoes wisely. Good fishnet boots should be made of natural materials. Most often, models available to the mass market are made of cheap synthetics and leatherette, which makes your feet sweat and you feel uncomfortable.
Pay attention to the sole. With good shoes, it should not look like it will not survive the next rain. A completely flat sole is also not an option. You will be much more comfortable if there is a small wedge heel or heel.
It is good if the silhouette of the boots will ideally lie on the leg. One of the main claims to lace boots - rough, as if cut with an ax, contours. For the same reason, elegant ladies do not like ugg boots - because in form they are not much different from boots.
Wedding boots
A separate category of lace boots are all kinds of wedding shoes. The bride's outfit is almost the only image where white lace boots will look appropriate. And then you should correctly approach the selection of such models, taking into account all the subtleties.
Firstly, boots for the bride certainly should not be found in the nearest market. Let it be high-quality shoes of a classic feminine shape, ideally sitting on the foot. Secondly, the more colorful, elegant and eye-catching the lace pattern (even if it is plain), the more modest the dress itself should be - otherwise you risk becoming a wedding cake. In any image, the correct arrangement of accents is important - lace boots are one of such visual “anchors” that attracts the views of others. This “anchor” is already quite strong, and if there are several more (neckline, lace frills, etc.), then you simply get lost in your outfit.
How to care for lace boots?
Openwork lace or fabric boots are always less functional than leather ones. If the latter can simply be wiped with a damp cloth from dirt and dust, then you will have to carry dry boots from laces to dry cleaning. Do not try to wash them by hand or in a washing machine. Boots simply lose their presentation. Particularly impractical are models of light shades - white, beige, gray boots. If you shoe them every day to move around the city, then you will have to run dry cleaning almost every week. Save light fishnet boots for special occasions, and for everyday wear, get something more versatile.
What other summer boots can be?
Lace boots are not the only solution. Stylish girls are not afraid to put completely closed boots on in cool summer weather. High boots made of natural materials (leather or fabric) will be appropriate for a country walk, concert, in a bar. In boots on a platform of thin leather, even in summer it is convenient to withstand weather conditions - you will not be afraid of either puddles or a dusty road.
Designers and fashion consultants clearly speak out in favor of a cowboy style in the summer. This gives the green light not only to jeans and plaid shirts, but also to spectacular cowboy boots or boots. Leather or suede, with a long fringe, they look great in a casual casual look. And if you still want lace - do not hesitate to try on a light lace dress with boots of this type.
