L-R: Alberta Ferretti FW 18/19 | Tibi FW 18/19 | Givenchy FW 18/19
A myriad of major designers sent slouchy boots down the runways during last February’s fashion shows, cementing them as a style staple for AW18. Plum palettes were spotted at Alberta Ferretti, while Tibi caused a clash of colour with a shocking pink pair worn with tonal hues of blush. Meanwhile, over at Givenchy, slouchy, ankle-length designs in burnt orange gave the comeback trend a cool, contemporary aesthetic.
The simplest way to keep slouchy boots in focus? Wear them with a mini. Crafted from plush black velvet, and embroidered with small, delicate flowers, this A-line design makes the subtlest of statements, and makes sure this season’s ‘it’ boot doesn’t blend into the background. Finish the look with a button-up blouse in soft white.
Nodding to the nostalgia from decades past, slouchy boots are a must for this season’s free-flowing midis. Printed with vintage florals in a dark, autumnal colour palette, this hanky-hem design pairs perfectly with burgundy boots for that straight-out-of-the-seventies feel. Complement the berry tones with a plum-hued hobo bag.
Want to keep it fuss-free? Put your trust in your favourite black skinny jeans, tucking them into a pair of slouch boots for classic cool. Stick to the twilight tones with a button-up shirt in black, printed with shooting stars that create a quietly ethereal mood.
Like slouchy boots, corduroy has also reinstated its style status for AW18. Invite both trends into your new-season wardrobe with a button-up pinafore in plush black fabric, layered over a pussy-bow blouse and teamed with soft suede boots. A smart boxy bag brings ties the whole look together.
