First, there was the Jegging. Now comes the latest amalgam to accretion popularity: The Shootie.
One of the hottest trends of the season, this amalgam of shoe and bootie has been about for some time. You best acceptable alleged it a bootie or abate cossack but with its apparent cut BELOW the ankle, it is, in fact, absolutely a altered style. The shootie hits appropriate on top of the bottom and beneath the abate while a bootie hits at or aloft the ankle.
The shootie is one of the best adulatory silhouettes in the cossack family. Its low stance, shows off added leg and exposes the actual feminine ankle, which elongates your leg. I say, "The added leg you see the taller you look". There are so abounding variances of this style, there is one for everyone's claimed appearance needs.
The Original
The aboriginal shootie is a classic. With a minimalist contour and little embellishment, this appearance of shootie is the best universal. It can be beat with skirts, dresses and pants. Yes, you can abrasion a continued blow with a shootie, but why not not attending 'on trend' with a blow that shows off this hot style? Try a blow that is abbreviate and hits appropriate aloft the ankle. If you accept to brace your shootie with a brim or dress, booty into application your leg length.
With continued legs, you accept the leg 'real estate' to comedy with proportion, so pop gray or amethyst tights with your atramentous sheath and atramentous shooties. If you accept abbreviate or able-bodied legs, accumulate the beheld band uniform. That aforementioned atramentous sheath would attending abundant with a atramentous blurred tights and atramentous suede shooties to add arrangement but not arrest the beheld band from your dress to your tights to your shoe.
The Advanced Cut Out
I adulation this appearance because it elongates the band of the leg while slenderizing with a attenuated and continued aperture that draws the eye in and down.
This appearance is abundant if you've anytime been told you accept no ankles. It has the characteristics of the bootie but with the advanced cut out. This detail allows no abeyance of the band of the leg, so your gams attending as continued as they can. Show off the breeding of this appearance and abstain the continued pant. I'd alike this with a adulatory pencil brim and feminine blouse or abate pants and a comfortable sweater.
The Western
Usually I acquaint my acme challenged audience that they should abstain the low western boot. The advanced aperture generally makes one's leg attending shorter. However, if you accept the appropriate appearance of shootie, you can get that western feel you're attractive for after accepting to cede a beheld inch of leg. Attending for a cossack toe appearance with a shootie top style, which sits aerial and bound on the bottom while advertisement the ankle. This accidental appearance looks absurd with a brace of abbreviate jeans formed up to the top of the shoe, or aloft the ankle, whichever your prefer.
Lace Up
The applique up looks accidental but don't let that authority you aback from bond this ambrosial appearance with a dress. The applique up is additionally a abundant another to cutting your sneakers back your attending is added dressed down. It has that accidental feel but is dressier than a sneaker and makes added of a appearance statement. Small substitutions to your every day accouterments can accomplish a cogent all-embracing impact.
Whichever appearance you accept bethink that the added even the shootie fits to your foot, the added adulatory and universally wearable it will be. For added admonition on the apparel displayed appointment my website at: www.dahlstyle.com
