Summarize the following:
Black and brown are the most popular neutral colors. You can also try nude/tan, white, and gray as well. Silver and gold are also both considered to be neutral, and are ideal for evening looks. Plan ahead. Avoid mixing contrasting colors, such as white booties and a black dress. This will "cut" your legs in half, and make them appear too short. The more slender your heel is, the more chic and sophisticated your outfit will look. A sleek, slender heel is also ideal if you want a more dressy look. Shiny materials make things look bigger. Matte materials, such as leather, suede, or canvas, make things appear smaller. Ideally, the cuff of the boot should extend just past the ankle as well. You might also want to skip excessive details, such as heavy embellishment or lots of straps. These will only add bulk to your boots, and thus to the ankle area. These styles tend to be more comfortable than ones with high heels and pointed toes, especially after hours of walking. They are ideal for casual, day-time looks. The pointed toes and higher heels automatically make these styles look fancier than their casual counterparts. They are feminine, and great for elongating the leg. They are ideal for date nights where you won't be doing a lot of walking. Depending on what body shape you have, different boot styles will help balance your body out. Listed below are some ideas based on the four main body types: If you have a pear-shaped body, your hips are wider than your shoulders. Opt for a simple pair of ankle boots with a heel. If you have an inverted triangle shape, your shoulders are wider than your hips. Try a pair of brightly colored boots. Heavily-embellished styles will also work. This will give the illusion of curvier legs. If you have a rectangle body shape, your hips, wait, and shoulders are the same size. Try a pair of detailed boots, as this will give the illusion of curves. If you have an apple body shape, your widest point will be your waist or torso. Opt for a pair of brightly colored or heavily-embellished boots. This will draw the attention away from your waist, and give the illusion of curves. Much like body type, different boot styles will help balance things out like height, curves, or lack of curves. Listed below are some ideas based on different height and size combinations: If you are short and slim, go for heeled boots that cover the ankle. This will make your legs appear longer. Avoid boots that end at or below the ankle. This will extend your legs, and give you a longer, sleeker look. If you are tall and curve, skip the cuff details. Too much detailing along the cuff will draw too much attention to your calves, and make them appear thicker than they actually are. Instead, opt for plain cuffs. If you are tall and slender, you can go with any style of boot.
Pick boots in neutral colors so that you can wear them with more outfits. Go for boots with a heel if you'd like to make your legs appear longer. Wear boots made from a matte material if you have large feet. Go for boots with a wider cuff if you want your legs to appear slimmer. Consider boots with rounded toes and a shorter heel if you will be on your feet a lot. Consider boots with pointed toes and a higher heel for special occasions. Choose boots that flatter your body shape. Choose boots that flatter your body type and make your legs appear longer. If you are petite and curvy, choose boots with a pointed toe.
