Late ’60s esthetic

We cannot think of the ’70s without high boots. Mini skirts and white knee-high boots were a must back then. Get inspired by the looks of the style icon Marianne Faithfull in the late ’60s. And by the stylish Nordic girls at Copenhagen Fashion Week. White and cream long boots come with high heels and kitten heels this winter, very Swinging London. But you can also wear the knee-high boots in rubber, with block heels. by the way, the functional rain boots are a hot footwear trend in A/W 2020, from the classic Wellingtons to chunkier models with thick soles.

It’s time to let your disco diva out. This season we’re seeing tall boots with high heels, worn with dresses or over the trousers.

Long combat boots

Still in the’70s realm, the long combat boots bring a touch of punk resistance to classic outfits. Prada presented them for fall, and all fashion enthusiasts soon adopted them.

Saint Laurent and Etro are some of the fashion houses that have brought back this aesthetic from the ’80s, that is relaxed and chic at the same time. Slouchy boots look great with skirts but also with trousers. For extra fashion points, tuck wide-leg pants in long boots, creating a Gaucho-inspired silhouette.
