White boots: in or mega out? | BRIGITTE.de

White boots are making a comeback - and they're so cool!

White boots have been around for decades. They've been frowned upon for just as long. But now the white shoe is celebrating its comeback.

Just hearing the two words “white boots” sends cliché images to our heads, and the shoe is quickly pigeonholed as “cheeky”.

But the boot in white can do more than we thought. Designer brands such as Balenciaga, Isabel Marant and Céline have long recognized its potential and reinterpreted it. If you scroll through Instagram or look at the latest street style pictures, it's hard to miss. The white boot is just re-taking the fashion world and we're finally starting to like it.

How do I not look cheap with white boots?

Sure, white boots are not easy to style. It takes a little flair to put the shoe in the limelight. What does it look best for without looking trashy?

Here are four rules we should follow with white boots, ankle boots and boots. This means that the shoe can also move into your home shoe rack - that's a promise!

Rule number 1: The right tone

One basic rule always applies: it's better to choose a warmer eggshell tone than snow white. So dirt is not immediately noticeable.

Rule number 2: keep your outfit simple

A white boot is an eye-catcher. The rest of the outfit doesn't have to compete with him. The colors should also remain muted. The contrasting color black goes just as well as cream tones or a complete outfit in white.

Rule number 3: Legs may be shown, but not the décolleté

White ankle boots with shorts or a denim skirt look great. If the boot has a little heel, it even stretches the leg and flatters the silhouette. But at the top it should be a little more covered and not cut too low. You know, clichés and stuff.

Rule number 4: No make-up!

Red lipstick and bright pink fingernails? Better not with this outfit! A beautiful, even complexion, a bit of mascara and undone style hair make the look classy and show understatement.
