Boots: Not Just For Chill Of It
Boots will be bigger than ever this season.
W magazine fashion director Bridget Foley describes for CBS News This Morning the best bootwear for the fall.
"Boots are always about function," says Foley.
"But more than ever before, they are about fashion."
Books are one of the 10 must-have items for fall. Whether you're dressing for the day or evening, boots can accessorize any outfit. The season's styles range in materials - from leather, velvet, felt, pony and stretch fabrics - and in design - from mid-calf to knee-high lengths, and from flat-heeled to stiletto heeled.
While the fall boot offerings include the basics and the very fanciful, this year is different in its sense of excitement. Boots are screaming, "Notice me,'" says Foley.
There's a new raciness, away from ethereal, bohemian, gentle styles toward a 1970s jet-set feel, she says. Such styles are sexy, yet approachable, notes Foley.
 | Coach and Daryl K Rubber boots are great when it's in the 60s and summertime as well as when a blizzard hits. | |
 | Ralph Lauren What makes these red boots work is that the lines are simple. | |
 | Manolo Blanik Calfskin is very in, not only for boots and other accessories but for clothes as well. The stiletto heel is very big. | |
 | Prada The chunky heel has a fanciful look. Not only do boots come in different lengths this season but so do skirts. | |
 | Naked Feet The fringe boot creates a bohemian look. Wedgy moccasins offer the benefit of comfort. | |
 | Tom Ford These sexy tight crushed-velvet stiletto boots are not for everyone. | |
