Give the Boot to Boring Footwear

Give the Boot to Boring Footwear

Claudia Schiffer in Minnetonka Tramper Boots

Fall is here and that means one thing in terms of footwear. Get out your boots! With the return of the skinny jean, the tops of boots are getting more play than ever. So boring, run-of-the-mill, leather shoes and boots aren’t the only styles you will find out there this season. Versatile boots are what’s hot this fall. This season, boots have fur, studs, tassels, suede and even buttons. They fold down, zip up and get scrunched, some styles do all three! Boring, be gone!

If you love the native look and like popular UGG® Australia boots, UGG® has some competition with Minnetonka on the rise. Stay tuned next week to learn more about this rising star in the boot world.

Minnetonka isn’t new as a boot brand, but the company’s recent popularity may make it seem new. For more than 60 years, Minnetonka has been creating comfortable and fashionable moccasin-style footwear. Fashion forward companies like Minnetonka and UGG® brought this style to the forefront of the fashion world, stomping runways from London to New York. Celebs from Kate Moss to Rachel Bilson rock the moccasin boot.

Three Ways to Rock Minnetonka:

1) The Prairie Girl: Maxi Dress

The Olsen Twins often step out in this effortless look which features a long dress and Minnetonka boots. Feather extensions complete the look.

2) The Hippie Chick: Mini Skirt

Peace out and pair a flowing shirt with a mini skirt and Minnetonka boots. Top it off with a headband.

3) The Trendy Chick: Skinny Jeans

Go modern up top and native on the feet for a modern look that delivers both comfort and style.

Guys Guide to Fashion: The Right Way to Layer

When there’s a nip in the air, it may be time to rotate out of those short sleeve shirts you love so much and embrace your long-sleeved wardrobe. October can be a weird month, where more than a good slasher flick on Halloween can give you goose bumps. One moment you are fine and the next you are cursing at yourself for not bringing a jacket. Enter the long lost art of layering. Some guys do it right and look great. Others? Well, they look like they just rolled out of the sack. Here are some easy pointers on how to layer button-up shirts, t-shirts, polos and other clothing with your fall styles.

Do

  • Pair a pattern, fitted, tee with a solid or semi-solid button up shirt. Try pairing up a tailored shirt with a cool pattern like the Remetee T-Shirt Staredown.
  • Slip on an open neck long-sleeve shirt under your favorite tee. We love the tough Affliction Motors Event Tee.
  • Pull a t-shirt on under your polo and then top it off with a light jacket.

Don’t

  • Pop your collar over a sweatshirt. Try a long sleeve tee underneath, instead. Like this stylish knit.
  • Go monochrome by layering the same color. Switch it up.
  • Layer anything under a tank top. We don’t have to show you an alternative way to wear it. Just don’t. The closest you should get is an Outerwear Vest with a fitted long sleeve underneath.

Fashion Trends We Are Thankful For

Thanksgiving is the time to give thanks for the good in our lives: family, friends and, at Designer Studio Store, fashion. In our world, fashion is the ultimate form of self-expression. Fall trends bring the perfect mix of warm and comfortable. We celebrate Thanksgiving and have memorable gatherings in fall fashions and, each year, those outfits end up in our family photo albums. When you are thinking about what to wear to this year’s Thanksgiving dinner, think about these gifts straight from the fall runway.

Boots and Skirts

Pull together your favorite long sleeved shirt with tights, boots and your favorite blouse for an attractive, head-turning fall look. Here’s the long and the short of this look:

Prairie skirt: Boho fashion is in. Take one look at this fall’s celebrity gossip magazines and you will see celebs wearing longer skirts with boots. This trend has held solid for a few years. Pair a flowing skirt with leggings for warmth. Complete the look with a pair of UGG® Skylair women’s boots.

Above the knee, flowing short skirt: Flowing skirts beg for sexy tight calf high boots. Pair a flowing skirt with a long sleeved shirt, a fuzzy vest and a comfy pair of boots. Make sure the boots come up to at least the top of your calves to balance out the loose flow of the skirt.

Denim mini: Match a denim mini skirt with a pair of cute ankle high boots for a youthful duo. A cowl neck or turtle neck sweater will keep away the winter chill. As the weather becomes colder, slip on a trench coat for a fun look that will keep you toasty too!

Jeans and Heels

The boot heel trend ushered in a whole new era of it being perfectly ok to wear your dress heels with your favorite pair of jeans. Skinny jeans, casual fit anything but high waist mom jeans is incredibly wearable with heels. One of our favorite pairs of jeans to wear with heels are from Hudson. The Hudson Baby Boot Denim jeans really accentuate your assets while the heels really elevate your style.

Faux Fur

Real fur isn’t very PC these days. In fact, PETA has been quite successful in deterring people from real fur with the “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” campaign they have been running over the past few years. Fortunately, faux fur is still quite in fashion. This fall, faux fur accented coats, boots, capes and even sweaters are everywhere you look. To wear it right, don’t overdo it on the faux fur. Stick with accents and thoughtful touches throughout your wardrobe. One faux fur cap can go a long way.
