Walk down the High Street, open up Vogue, watch TV or visit celebrity gossip blogs and you'll have undoubtedly noticed one type of footwear style prevails all season, every season. And it's a classic style in it's own inimitable way; a classic of the 21st century's making.The biker boot.
Once the preserve of leather-clad men, the biker boot has had something of a renaissance with the majority of women having fallen in love with the style.
To the older generation, the thought of wearing 'heavy' stylised boots all through the year was absurd; but the modern fashionista has embraced the easy-going nature of the design and proceeded to team them, not just with ripped jeans and rock t-shirts, but with flirty, floral dresses and floaty, feminine fabrics.

The big question, though, is: How to look elegant and girly in a utility style? The big designers have taken up the challenge and turned the ubiquitous stud-detailing into a classy embellishment, similar to sequins on clothes, without being too OTT.
Jimmy Choo got into the act with their popular 'York' motorcycle boots, £695 (above, second image from top) and Thomas Wylde has recently launched his skull-studded boots, full of attitude, for £1,859.57 (above, second image from bottom).
However, if something a little more pretty and wearable appeals to you, the Keith Scarrott do their own stud-embellished version for an affordable £249.95 in black and brown (above, bottom image).
