Breaking The Rules: Summer Boots

No time to touch up that pedicure? Don't even sweat it. Summer boots may sound like a style oxymoron, but street style (not to mention festival style) have given them a stamp of approval. From short booties with wedge heels to grungy lace-ups to flat knee-highs, there's a world of sandal alternatives to select in an array of colours. You won't miss the conventional summer shoe at all, trust.

If you're worried about breathability, cut out boots and ones with open toes are your best option. If humidity isn't in the forecast, a tall boot paired with a swingy skirt has a definite effect on the male gaze. The classic combat boot gets a nostalgic twist when paired with a feminine dress (chanel Depp-era Winona Ryder) with sturdy arch support as an added bonus.
