AskHim: These Boots Were Made For Walkin…

Hello my loves,

Brian Campbell alive and present to help you with your fashion needs...this week's question is from Manhattan Blaire:

Dearest Brian: I want to pick up a pair a boots for fall/winter outfits, but do not want to buy the wrong ones (i.e. Hooker boots).  Which style do most guys think are sexy but also classy?

Hi Gorgeous Blaire - Always a big topic this one, boots!! There is a very fine line between what is sexy/classy, and what makes you look like you make a living on the street corner..Unfortunately, a lot of women make the mistake of thinking the boots they are wearing are sexy when in fact, they've made that slight error in judgement. This could be with length and with style..It's not always about the length when you see a lot of really strange choices of boot that is worn and then of course the choice of clothing can just push one over the edge into an estranged style.

The type of boot that is worn always goes hand in hand with the choice of clothing. Differentiating between what is classy/sexy and what is not, is key when choosing the outfit it goes with. When wearing 'knee high' boots, or, just below the knee as they actually fall, it is always key to not come of as 'slutty'.

To be sure of this, if wearing a skirt, it is essential to not go with something that is incredibly short that only barely covers your ass, or as a lot of men I know refer to it, 'the belt'. A girl is asking for trouble if this is the choice they make. A skirt just above the knee is key when wearing 'knee highs'. It leaves more to the imagination, and wearing stockings is definitely a plus too (Christine's tip - Try the christine dress with black leggings and knee high brown boots to match the recycled polyester buttons on our fav dress). Wearing these boots with jeans is definitely something that falls into the right category also. Thigh high boots definitely fall into the 'hooker' category. A respectable man would make this assumption as soon as they come across it, so it would be wise to stay away from them.

Then we come to those 'UGG' boots. Sometimes worn with jeans, sometimes with a skirt, and then there are those that choose to wear them with a colorful dress. As far as 'sexy yet classy is concerned', Jeans is a definite yes with the UGG boots pulled up over them. You can almost get away with the knee length skirt, but the dress, just doesn't cut it.

I hope this was insightful enough to make the right decision, and of course, I'm available on email for follow ups to this, and most definitely any other questions readers may have, at AskHim@cmarchuska.com. I leave you with the classic Nancy Sinatra hit.....happy shopping ladies.
