It's a Style War





October...what does this mean to you? Halloween? Conkers? Half-term? The Cheltenham Literature Festival even?

It can depend entirely on your point of view, but a universal thought when presented with this month will alway be 'Winter'. It's been days since we've seen the sun and judging from what our customers from far and wide have been telling us, they have the same problem. Scarves are out and about and it's going be quite some time before we set foot outside the house without an umbrella again.

But with the weather worsening and the days drawing shorter, to a point where the the High Streets of the UK won't ever feel properly dry until next July, we've found the need for tough, comfortable, yet stylish all-weather boots to tackle the elements.

Thankfully (and very unusually) the high priests of fashion are leading the way, with designers at Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Belstaff coming out this season with combat boots. Such as these ones from Marc Jacobs (£580 - 2nd picture) and Acne (£410 - bottom picture).

With the military look steaming ahead in the fashion world this season, combat boots are an integral part of the overall look. Something of an indie fashion statement, combat boots are surprsingly versatile to wear everyday. It doesn't require any great condescension to trends.

Flat utility boots are a great alternative to Uggs; with leggings and a jumper dresses for a comfy, casual look or with a mini skirts and floral dresses for an outfit with a chic, eclectic personality.

Keith Scarrott have taken inspiration from Italian designs and have found the best combats for a styled overall look, without looking too trend-led. The beautiful stud boots (£159.95 - top picture) add a glamorous, slightly dangerous, rocky edge to any outfit. Whilst our classic combat style is made with a slender leg, for a feminine style and fit (£169.95 - third picture).
