Style Theory: The criteria for the perfect black ankle boot..comfortable, flattering, buckles (very AW15) pointed toe, short ankle height and soft leather. I have found them from non-other than Clarks

The boots are from the Clarks V&A collection, Clarks collaborated with the Victoria and Albert museum to create a cool and slightly more edgier range of shoes. They looked to different periods in history for inspiration, these boots hail from the 80s, the Goth era to be specific. Clarks have smartened the goth look to create a pair of boots that are sharp, chic and completely on trend. The buckles toughen up the look without looking too heavy.

Made in soft leather these boots are the perfect height to be worn with dresses and skirts, or with skinny jeans/ leather leggings. I have chopped my black jeans up to just above my ankle so the boots sit below..fine for mild weather and the boots keep my feet warm. As I find with most of Clarks shoes, they are undeniably comfortable with a very small heel, the perfect schoolrun to evening out boots. The leather looks mottled online in real life it is far less so (actually the photo online put me off a little I am glad I ordered them anyway!) They are exactly what I was looking for and the fact that they are super comfy, complete with ' cushion plus' technology makes me even happier!
Here are a few ideas of how I will be styling them...

They will be so useful throughout the autumn/winter and spring, they look fab with bare legs so if I try not to eat too many selection boxes over Christmas I may try the bare leg look in the Spring.....
Have you found your perfect winter boots, how are you wearing yours this year? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time Frances xxx
*I was gifted the boots but under no obligation to blog about them - these exceeded my expectations.

DeleteFab new boots Frances! I often overlook Clarks but I'm off to check these out.....they look ace the way you've styled them! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Michelle, I was on the look out for boots I could wear with dresses, these are great! Xxx
DeleteThey're lovely Frances. A bit Toga-Pulla-erish (a made up ending). I rarely go on the Clarks website but often pop into our local shop and I haven't seen these in there. Maybe I should peruse the website more often! x
ReplyDeleteLove that they are Toga-Pulla-ish 😉 Love them as they are actually super comfortable xx
DeleteWhat an amazing find!!! Chloe Susanna .... eat your little heart out! Fabulous Fran,x
ReplyDeleteThanks Annmarie, yes the dream is the Susanna's but in the meantime these are the perfect substitute xxx
DeleteUnique ideas of having a dress with new styles and get an adorable personality can take from watching fashion shows and different morning shows as well. Brands like KHAADI, SANA SAFINA’S, MARIA B, AL KARAM, GULL AHMAD, LIME LIGHT, ORIGINS, and KAYSERIA are doing and presenting their best in the fashion industry.
