Step up your style this 2015

MANILA, Philippines - Parisian’s collection of boots will let you stand tall this 2015 with its utilitarian chic mixed with just the right amount of edge.

But admittedly, it’s only lately that boots have become part of our fashion mainstream. And it’s a challenge to wear these effortlessly considering we are used to tropical dressing.

Here are tips on how to step up your style from Parisian.

• The knee-high boot. Build your look from the ground up with this major statement piece. This classic boot length looks best with knee-length skirts, oversized sweaters, or shirt dresses.

• The bootie. This abbreviated style makes your legs the star all year round. And you’ll get maximum impact by pairing them with bare legs and shorter hemlines. When the weather gets cooler, think long and lean with tights worn with flirty skirts and body con sheaths.

• The embellished boot. Rock and roll hardware studs, buckles, straps, give boots a perfect dose of attitude. And you can spring a fashion surprise by giving hardware a soft edge by wearing these not only with a light leather jacket, but also with an unexpected feminine element like a tulle skirt, bold jewelry, or a floral printed top.

• The wedge boot. This is a perfect balance of form and function.

And oh, so comfy to wear, too. The way of the wedge goes best with cable knit sweater dresses, maxi skirts, and chic overcoats.

The Parisian boot collection is available at all SM Stores nationwide.
