On Trend! Boot fashion alert!


I know, I know.  Sometimes Boot Babes don't give a rip what other people say is cool because we blaze our own path and while we have our own sense of Fashionista somewhere between Iris Apfel and Miranda Lambert.  So what does this mean for us Boot Babes and why does it matter? Well you see, what the high highfalutin big wigs in fashion say is "in" or "on trend" determines what the boot companies offer the little people like us Boot Babes. 

Iris Apfel in all of her fashionista glory.

So here is my take on what we can expect to see this year from our favorite boot makers like Old Gringo and Lane! Shorties, round toes, high heels, fringe, and heavy metal are what I do declare to be the hottest looks around for your boots this season.  Also expect to see color and LOTS of it.  Who's got time for boring boots anyway?

Shooties, booties, shorties!

All things short and sassy!  The boot makers are even further blurring the lines between boots and sandals and y'all it is HOT!!! It is all the bad girl of a boot with sandal comfort and ohhhh and the versatility!  If it ain't your thing, that is cool too Babes, but if you love this look more options than ever before are coming your way!

Round and round and round!

I know so many Boot Babes love a good round toe and welp, the round toe is now hotter than ever before!  Both Lane and Old Gringo are introducing fresh looks where the round toe is the star!  It is big on comfort as always but now it is easier to find in lots of cool styles!

The higher the heel...

Umm humm! Get sexy y'all!  The high heel is so in! It is appearing on a boat load of new boots from a chunky block heel on round toe classic boots to some this ain't your Momma's kinda cowgirl boots. Be ready to rock these higher heels because they are in it to win it y'all!

On the fringe!

Fringe is not going anywhere! It is fun, funky, and oh so fashionable.  What we can expect to see is a little tad of fringe on lots of boots Boot Babes. The makers are using it a little bit of fringe on lots and lots of boots! It is still fringe fun but with some new an unexpected twists. Babes, the new boots are gonna be singing "I've got fringe in allll places!".

Hard core metal!

Ohh y'all! Metal in studs grommets, and big ole conchos is so in right now! This is probably music to most Boot Babe's ears. Metal accents can really add that special southwestern or rocker chick vibe that is more edgy.  Boot Babes, look for traditional styles that you have seen before but with even more metal! Word on the streets is that the Old Gringo Iron Eagle is taking a heavy metal turn into the METAL EAGLE and boy is it ever HOT!

 Love y’all and until next time, let your boots rock your socks!
