The humble biker boot is an underestimated
shoe. It has become staple
festival fare - an alternative to wellies, or getting your heels stuck in the
mud - and is often worn with a bare leg and something denim at the top of
it. However, at this time of year – when you can’t rely on the weather forecast
and chancing your Opening Ceremony sandals seems like crazy talk (no one wants
to be that person in fluorescent sandals in cold autumn rain) - the biker is the perfect boot.
You can wear it with anything from
skinnies, to minis, tights, stockings, boucle, brocade and mad prints and it
can be dressed up or down for many occasions, even fashion week (see Poppy
Delevingne at the A/W 12 shows wearing hers with sequins). Plus, it doesn’t feel like a proper
winter boot so you can pretend Christmas isn’t only 104 days away and get your
pins out. Biker boots tend to be
leather, so they’re hardwearing and warm, and you don’t have to sell your puppy
to get some either, even if you go designer.
