There’s nothing demure about a glitter boot or these other statement booties.
How many times have you looked in the mirror and just wished you had something a little bolder, a little more stylish… something with a little more oomph?
A good pair of shoes can be that.
The right pair of shoes can make or break an outfit, and winter’s glitter boot trend is a perfect example. They’ve got the personality and sex appeal of a heel, but are much sturdier and more comfortable. What’s more, there’s nothing delicate about this silhouette. It demands your attention.
These bold and sparkly chelsea boots are everywhere on bloggers and models of all shapes, sizes, and identities. If sparkly isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other gorgeous statement bootie options for you to choose from like beautiful brocades, velvets, suedes, and metallic finishes.
Channel your inner Ziggy Stardust or The Purple One with these chunky heeled booties, perfect with a dress, jumpsuit, or a great way of transforming your simple denim look into a sexy rocker vibe simply by switching out your usual subdued shoe for something special. These boots don’t care if you’re out partying or going to the grocery store, and even this post-holiday season is still very much all about the sparkle and extremely bold, rich details.
Why are so many plus-size fashionistas embracing this trend? Simply put: you can have a killer shoe collection even if you do not always have access to other clothes.
Shoes, jewelry, and bags can transform your favorite closet staples in a million different ways, so they’re often a great way to play with an otherwise “safe” outfit choice. Booties are great because they can be femme without being super traditionally feminine, and they can also play up the look to give it a hard femme rocker edge.
