When you think of slouch boots you may immediately think of Ugg boots and yes we all love Uggs but there are so many other types and styles of slouch boots. Here are some:
- Cowboy
The traditional cowboy boot is actually quite slouchy, and there is a whole new range of cowboy slouch boots to pull on over your jeans and for a really retro look wear with a fringed jacket and check shirt. Dingo’s Cowgirl slouch boot, Charlie One Horse by Lucchese and Jessica Simpson’s Lyra are three to look out for.
- Apache
Lovely soft, slouchy, fringed, Apache boots are a hot look this season and so easy and comfortable to wear. Joie Apache Tassle Flat Boots are gorgeous and Neiman Marcus Aquatalia Jeweled Fringe Short Boot has a fun, young look.
- Motorcycle
Heavy duty, biker style, black leather slouch boots are a popular look, but it takes a good pair of legs to show them off to advantage with a short skirt. Matisse Chopper boots are very reasonably priced and have the look. Rag & Bone Motorcycle Boots are the more expensive designer option.
- Smart but Slouchy
Slouch boots don’t have to look grungy. You can look smart but fashionably slouchy too. Frye’s Cindy Slouch Boots, Michael Kors Lucille Suede Slouch Boots and Marc Jacobs Ruffle Slouch Knee Boots all fit this mandate.
- Sheepskin
Though not strictly speaking a slouch, Bearpaw’s Pasador Ii boot is a stylish snugly warm boot for those cold winter days.
- Colorful
Make a real statement with your outfit by going for an unusual, brightly colored pair of slouch boots. alice + olivia for Payless Sunset Slouch Boot is a brilliant scarlet; Steve Madden’s Tyller boot comes in a beautiful blue and Nordstrom’s Tall Green Suede Slouch Boots are um.. green!
- Straps, Buckles & Zips
Slouch boots are very forgiving about the size of your calves and having them adjustable makes them even more so. Not all styles with straps and buckles are adjustable but many are. The fashion is for as many straps and buckles on your boots as possible – or some with lots of zippers as in Balmain’s Zipper Boots recently seen on Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas.
If you have a Fergie sized budget and you like plenty of buckles then Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Multi Buckle Boots are for you. Tapeet Three Strap Slouch Boots are high heeled slouchy suede boots with toning leather straps and Jeffrey Campbell Woodsuede Slouch Flat Boots look like they just stepped out of a Lord of the Rings movie.
With all the incredibly different styles of slouch boots available you could find it difficult to decide which ones to choose. Think about the look you are trying to achieve. There is no point in buying Motorcycle slouch boots if you want to look elfin. If you really can’t decide, well you can always get out your Uggs!
