A special reader of mine asked for advice on how a curvy woman (with an hourglass shape) can pick the right boot to wear with jeans {Thanks, Heather for the GREAT suggestion!}  I am a proud owner of my curvy body and have had quite a bit of experience in this area. :) I've tried  many boots with jeans to find that a successful combo is the result of the right cut of jean accentuated by height.  Much consideration for these two areas will put you on the right path to your perfect boot. So, here are my tips on how to wear tall boots for your curves!

To Embellish Or Not?  The goal is to keep a balanced figure. Anything with excessive amounts of fur, lacing on the side, buckles, chains or studs may be too distracting and may disrupt the balance of your figure.  Keeping embellishments to a minimum is always better.  

 

Extra Style Tips: Short Fashionistas (5'-5" and below) shouldn't wear boots over the knee area.  Try going below the knee like these fabulous mid-calf boots pictured above.  Also, take advantage of pointy toe boots.  It has this fabulous power to lengthen your legs to make you appear taller.  {I, personally love this feature since I'm only 5'2!} 

Again, thank you, Heather for submitting your question and I hope this helps everyone determine which boot works best for your curves! I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Love,
Your Fashion Coach
