Russian style is very appropriate in a fierce winter!
– As in any choice of shoes, the color and model is chosen based on the general style of your wardrobe, the color of the clothes and the type of figure. Valenki are not an element of the basic wardrobe of a person, but rather an addition to the image. And they will create either a stylish or non-stylish impression about your outfit. Of course, choosing felt boots should be very careful and not make them everyday shoes.
Choose the color of boots of noble shades – exquisite gray (for example, pearl color), milky, brown, khaki, etc. Let the color support the color of outerwear, creating a single color composition with it. I do not recommend stopping your choice on black, as in this case the felt boots look very heavy and are unlikely to be combined with clothes in general. In addition, all the flaws are visible on black felt boots. If the felting quality is poor, it will be very noticeable in black.
– When choosing the shape of boots, first of all, you need to focus on their length. Choose a length that does not end at the widest part of your shin. If you choose short boots, then it is better to choose them in the color of the tights, so as not to shorten the length of the legs and growth.
– It is better to choose felt boots that are calm and laconic in design, with an emphasis on colors. However, the decor can be, if it does not dominate the set as a whole. Boots covered with rhinestones will look out of place and cheap.
The sole of the boots: heel, rubber or just felt?
– Choose a sole based on how often you plan to wear boots and in what weather conditions. Rubber is needed to keep boots and legs safe and sound, especially if it’s wet snow outside. The heel is suitable for those who, for some reason, cannot wear shoes without heels or who want to add an unusual touch to their image. A felt sole can be used if you are sure that you will not walk a lot in this shoe, and will not get into slushy weather.
We look stylish in felt boots
– Boots are an attribute of the Russian style. If you want them to harmoniously fit into the image, it is necessary that nothing else from the Russian style is present. It is then that we can say that this is a style “a la russ”. But besides this, it is necessary to competently build the entire kit as a whole. Ugg boots are also an example of the footwear of farmers and villagers in Australia, but look how popular they are!
