When summer comes around, most girls put away their favorite pair of boots and start shopping for colorful gladiators and open-toed flats. This summer, however, is different: Boots aren’t going away. To switch things up a bit cheap louis vuitton bags, bloggers, designers, and regular fashionistas are turning to boots worn with bare legs, a look that’s a little unexpected in the summer season. When you tire of your go-to flip flops, boots offer a stylish alternative. Boots and bare legs add edge to summer basics and are the perfect trend for this week’s Fashion Challenge.
Tips and Tricks for Rocking Boots in Summer- Go low. While knee-high (and even over-the-knee) styles were popular this past winter, higher boots are a bit too stuffy for spring and summer. Opt for ankle boots or mid-calf styles(like Picture 2, above) for a lighter look.
- Lighten up. If you still feel like boots look too “heavy” for summer, look for lighter-colored styles. In Picture 1, Andrea wears a caramel-colored boot. Grey, and even white (like Jessica Stroup’s, below), would also look great and would play up your brightly-colored summer wardrobe.

- Experiment with styles. Many ankle and mid-calf boots have a western vibe. Even if you don’t normally look to Dolly Parton for fashion inspiration, a western boot can add something extra to your look. In Picture 3 above, Elora’s western ankle booties lend edge to her seriously girly romper. You can also try western boots as an alternative to grunge-y Doc Marten’s with a floral mini dress.

I wanted to prove that boots could work with two completely different styles. For Outfit #1, I went with a tougher look, inspired by a certain stylish starlet that “can’t be tamed”. For Outfit #2, I chose a sweet southern-inspired look. A western-style boot adds grit to a pretty floral dress. Boots can be worn in the summertime to add oomph to your already tough look, or toughen up a girly look; it’s your choice.
So, will you take the Fashion Challenge?How do you feel about boots for summer? Do you prefer a western or a rock-and-roll style boot? Or, would you forgo boots all together and remain loyal to your Havaianas?
