Fashion Do's of Plus Size Boot Styles
DO look for wide width boots if you have a wider foot. Many plus size brands are now carrying shoes and boots, so be sure to check with your favorite stores to see if they have winter boots in wide widths this season. We recommend One Stop Plus for this item.
DO opt for the leather boots with built in spandex or strech fabric. Sure, it may sound silly to think about having spandex in your boots, but spandex built in liners can give you extra room in the calf area of the boot and make your boots very comfortable. We recommend One Stop Plus for this item.
DO get an adorable pair of rain boots for your town’s rainy season. Rain boots are cuter than ever and are often oversized in the calf area so most often regular boots work well for plus size women. They can be worn by any body shape and are adorable paired with jeans and a rain slicker. We recommend Shoes.com for this item.
DO choose a pointed toe boot for an upscale look. Pointed toe boots automatically make your outfit look a little fancier, so if you’re using boots with a dress, a skirt or for a dinner date be sure to pick the pointed toe style. Rounder toes are great, but they tend to make the foot look wider and are best paired with jeans. We recommend Zappos.com for this item.
DO rock your knee high boots for an extra dramatic look. Today many designers are creating wide calf or extended calf boots that allow plus size women wear taller boots. With knee high boots being hotter than ever in the fashion world, be sure to take advantage and find a great pair. We recommend Roamans for this item.
Fashion Don'ts of Wide Calf Boot Fashions
DON'T choose boots that are bulky. Even when choosing snow boots, be sure you don’t choose boots that are too puffy or bulky. Winter boots are most flattering when they have laces in the front, making your calf and foot look slimmer. The laces draw attention toward the middle of the boot and give an instant slimming effect.
DON’T fear wearing boots with leggings. While most plus size women stay far away from leggings, if you wear knee high boots and a long sweater, leggings work great for any shape. Just be sure your long sweater hits you below the waist about 2-4 inches, for the best look.
DON'T be afraid to try high heeled boots, even if you’re fairly tall. High heeled boots can be great for adding length to your legs, creating an overall slimming appearance for all body types. Flat boots can actually make your legs look stumpier. It’s best to pair high heeled boots with fitted jeans or dresses and skirts.
DON’T fall victim to the upcoming trend of ankle boots. While ankle boots can be flattering if you have slim legs, if you carry more weight on your lower half of your body, stay away from ankle boots. They can make your legs look larger than they are and even make them appear shorter.
