When you're stepping out this season, do it in chic and classic style by pulling on a great pair of ladies leather riding boots! And thankfully, there's no need to combine the look with Mr. Ed or even a crop for that matter. The best way to wear this fabulous fashion trend is by pairing them with a few basic pieces that you probably already own.
Skinny Pants and Leggings
Slip on your most comfortable wardrobe basic - black or brown leggings - and a super cute cream colored cable knit turtleneck tunic. Finish the look with black or brown riding boots and a pair of faux fur-lined knit or leather gloves. The same look can be accomplished with your skinny jeans and a button down shirt and loosely knotted scarf.
Skirts
Wearing them with skirts is easy! Just choose a short and sexy pleated or form fitting pencil style skirt and a pullover long-sleeved shirt with a skinny belt. Tights or hose matching the footwear color look terrific but are optional. Longer, prairie skirts don't lend themselves well to this style and tend to give one a "farm girl" or "peasant" appearance rather than a sophisticated, smartly dressed one.
Dresses
Wrap dresses and form fitting, knit dresses look terrific with this fabulous fashion find. Be sure to keep the bottom hem of the dress above the top of the boot by at least a couple of inches. If wearing tights or hose, it's best to match them to the color of the footwear. Add a terrific oversized handbag to complete the look.
When choosing the right pair be sure to pick a well fitting one that hugs the calves. Avoid bulk and bagginess. Look for buttons, buckles, zippers and stitching details as well as various linings ranging from suede (or unlined) to fur, cashmere, silk and other options.
Keep your ladies leather riding boots in great shape by cleaning them regularly and applying material specific conditioners and polishes as directed by the manufacturer. Put them in a dry area and do not allow them to bend or fold when stored.
