When it comes to the Christmas season, parties and nights out abound. Even here in the usually subdued and genteel Regency streets of Cheltenham, the restaurants and wine bars are buzzing. And it's not just office parties creating the festive atmosphere; now is the time to reconnect and enjoy life with friends and family.
They may be closer to you than your average work colleague, but this doesn't halt the need to impress - if anything it makes it stronger! I think we'd all be guilty of a bit of fibbing if we said that we'd never dressed for these get-togethers with the intention to 'wow' with a particular outfit.
Of course, an LBD with a fashionable winter coat is always a winner in the style stakes. Alternatively, fitted indigo-wash jeans and layered knits look contemporary and casual enough for day-into-night.
The finishing touch to these ensembles would traditionally be sky-high heels. But with the treacherous winter weather working against us, the stilettos, platforms and straps might be something of an overkill.
Enter: the statement boot. With the ability to dress up any outfit, whether for day or night-time outings - this boot can be teamed with just jeans and a simple t-shirt and you'll still look A-List ready for either dinner with the other half, or a girls' night out.
Fashion mavens Diane Kruger (third picture, above in Chanel) and Roisin Murphy (of the band Moloko-top picture above in Diesel) have embraced the statement boot trend - being led by designers such as Givenchy (for £930+). The thigh-boot/over-the-knee style is the hot pick of the moment; thick, stack heels and stud or zip-detailing underline the statement you want to make. The more obvious, the better in terms of fashionista-baiting boots!
Here at Keith Scarrott, we found a pair in Italy we loved so much (2nd picture and last picture above, £299.95) that we got them in every colour! And in each, there is enough va-va-voom to fuel even the most hesitant party-goer.
The longer-length extends the leg whilst the inner and outer zips add a designer, high-fashion twist. For those icy evenings, the stack heels are not only fashionable but a practical way of dressing it up, while you party it up!
