Boots ‘n’ all

Ankle boots may be winter must-haves, but their versatility makes them a year-round essential.

These little ankle biters provide the complete coverage of a boot, but their chic streamlined shape means they can mix well with just about everything in your closet, from a jeans and tee combo to boxy sweatshirts and coats – and even that little black dress. High-heeled boots can elevate denim, and combat boots can add edge to a little paisley dress.

From flats to heels, there is no shortage of styles and colours this season. A sartorial safari of animal prints have been stalking the runway recently and the Vola Boots by Mollini (pictured), from Victoria Street’s style staple, Robin Pierre, are the ultimate way to dip your toes into this trend. Better yet, the neutral tone of this animal print pairs perfectly with, well… everything!

For traditionalists who want to play it safe with a classic black boot, the Vola Pony Boot offers the same statement heel with the soft feel of pony hair. They’ll turn the most simple outfit into a statement look. Because, even though Nancy Sinatra famously sang that ‘These Boots Are Made for Walking’, they’re also made for everything else – from dancing to daydreaming.

So why not keep your outfit simple and let the footwear do the talking?
