Style Theory: Black boots sometimes look too heavy, red boots sometimes too bright, tan too neutral...step forward the burgundy suede boot, the perfect footwear for Autumn/Winter 17. These Jones Bootmakers dark red boots are my new go to boot, they arrived on Wednesday and I have already worn them with three different outfits. I had ordered them to wear with my pink cord trousers as I love the pink/burgundy mix but they look great paired with my navy/grey sweaters and ankle length jeans and add a new autumnal twist to my dresses.
For a slightly Parisian look, wear them with crop cords, a navy cashmere sweater and a sailor cap....
The boots are luxurious and sumptuous looking, made from buttery soft suede leather with a leather inside so you can walk around town in them all day (I did!) and the heel is the perfect height to make me feel a little taller but still be easy to walk in. I love the round toe, it makes them look subtler than a pointed ankle boot, the perfect day to evening boots.
Here are a few other Jones the Bootmaker shoes and boots that I would love to have in my wardrobe..
Jones Ruby Boot £180 |
I have always wanted an over the knee boot but they have always been wayyy too expensive, these boots are more affordable and look great on. Wear with leather leggings and big oversized knits in the winter for a cosy, cool look. Or pair with dresses for a seamless dress/boot look. The soft grey make these boots look expensive and sophisticated.
Jones Tabitha Boot £160 |
These boots are perfect for this season, they have a real 70s vibe. Made of soft burgundy leather with a block heel, they have a slight slouch to them which was seen on all the catwalks for Autumn/Winter 17 and for Spring/Summer 18, practical and on trend..perfect.
Jones Thea Boot £160 |
A fabulous classic boot that would take you from year to year. Soft black leather with a stacked heel..gorgeous
Jones Blanche Shoe £140 |
I am a sucker for a red shoe and this court shoe is beautiful, again made of suede leather with a deep v front that is super elongating and flattering on the legs, this is a classic with a twist.
Jones Cepheus Bag £80 |
The bag I use most is my red tote bag and this would be a beautiful update for me. Soft leather and suede with three inside pockets (I do love a sectioned off bag..I am so disorganised I need it) with both shoulder straps and handles I think I need this bag in my life..
To be honest Jones the Bootmaker had fallen off my radar a little and I had forgotten how good it was to wear such well made boots. Who knew dark red boots would be my most worn so far this Autumn?! No doubt you will see them cropping up again and again in my photos, they just go with every colour in my wardrobe and give my summer dresses an Autumnal relevance.
Until next time Fran xx
