Brown boots...

it'd be nice if there was mainstream appreciation of black & brown together
well, actually, maybe not . . . i like my little secret. ;]
i've always loved black & brown together! :heart:
like you said soft . . .
black & grey can often look overtly monochrome & sterile
adding brown gives some depth & edge
*my favourite shade of brown being chocolate brown. yum! ;]
 
mhmm brown and black and one other neutral is my favorite combo. I have this awesome pair of black platform ankle boots that I wear with a bleached out ramones shirt (looks caramel) and a lightweight chocolate brown motorcycle jacket quite often with dark jeans. I love mixing neutrals. I like cocoa and medium grey together a lot as well, it can be classic, but it can also be very sexy and hard. I like.

Jil Sander boots from fall 2005 are nearing perfection.:heart: :heart: :heart:
GORGEOUS!!!!! :crush: :heart:

Missoni, I would say boots that come up just below the knee look best but it's really up to you and what suits you best. :flower:

i LOVE those frye boots...

:woot:
 
Brown&black can go together IMO and I love brown boots, they have a "vintage" vibe. My cowboy boots (yes I wore, I wear and I'll wear them to death!) are brown and even if I wasn't the happiest person when I bought them in that color I have to say they match with everything and are even classier than the black ones.
 
I cannot wait for Winter so I can don my new brown boots - they're from the 70s and look not unlike the Jil Sander pair, except with a slightly lower heel. If anyone is looking for riding boots, you can get them pretty cheap from Ebay - there are loads.
 
I noticed some nice riding boots when I was in a sports shop here in France/Monaco called Decathlon, and not at all expensive (around €30)

I don't know if anyone cares but I was walking around a shopping district here the other day and I went into a couple shoe stores... full of brown boots. In Old Navy's window, they had these brown boots and a huge shelf of them. Lots of stores with these cheap looking ones. Not really looking forward to seeing these ones everywhere haha :blush:
 
I found these lovely beige boots, which I would never have thought I liked. But I'm prob not buying them...I have a feeling they'd look stupid?
 
Because they are beige. I get a kind of Sienna Miller-ish feeling when I think of the word "beige boots".
 
^and is it bad? :flower: I have a pair of beige suede boots buyed ages ago and I don't wear them 'cuz they got heels and I'm already tall :doh: but I like them!
 
Maybe brown is the newest new black. And for the record, I absolutely disliked the trend of tucking pants into boots. take it from me here in Houston. I think it's an absoultely... well, it shouldn't be a trend. The last time it snowed here in Houston was about 2004 on Christmas Eve (it was so freaking cool!). Why shouldn't it be a trend? It's because there's no style of point to them if you don't live in an area where it snows often. I guess I look at things from a purpose standpoint. I thought the trend of a skirt with huge arctic boots was pretty interesting. At least I'd take that over most shrugs and the aforementioned pants into boots trend.

I still favor black boots since I tihink they still go with most everything girls wear. I think you take a chance with any article of footwear not colored black or even white. You'll have to find something to support the look of a color of boots not colored black or white. Beachwear trends have usually shown combinations of brown with blue accents, and the more popular brown with pink accents. More sophisticated and career types would likely pair a pastel pink blouse with brown solid or plaid pants and brown boots. That's a winner for the dress up types. The dress down types may likely go with some brown-colored top and jeans. I'd probably suggest (and I can't believe I'm suggesting this) a brown shrug with your choice of a T-shirt with dark denim jeans and brown boots. That's also a winner. An old buddy of mine at my community college once worn a brown shirt or blouse, a white skirt with floral accents, and brown boots. I think you need something brown to sort of compliment the brown boots. My favorite feminine fashion from last year were culottes/gaucho pants. On the right legs and done right, they can actually be quite alluring, especially in the fall and winter. But they have also been converted to an all-year fashion. I usually see some gauchos paired with flip-flops, more dressy sandals, and even some flats and mary janes. I think gauchos are more of a dress-up kind of fashion. I don't really think sneakers would fit the image too well. I think you should really give brown boots a try if you have some nice gauchos to work with. I probably wouldn't match brown gauchos with brown boots. I'd go with white, khaki, tan, or something that's sort of light in color. Experiment wisely.
 
looks like the stylists at shopbop.com have caught on...

All my boots have been in various shades of brown.... I don't know why.
I just got my first pair of black (ankle) boots, so we'll see.
I love to combine black and brown together, I don't see what is wrong with that, in fact i think unexpected colour combinations always brings a little surprise (and hopefully delight) to an outfit.
