The pants-less look is all the rage right now (oversized shirts belted as dresses, sweaters so big they cover shorts completely, hot pants so tiny they don’t even count), and I haven’t been a fan, but these fall-tastic boots might just change my mind! Brian Atwood has created a pair of suede boots that drift so lusciously high up the leg, you don’t really need much else in the way of legwear when you have them on.
Think of the “Bronski” boots as reverse pants – starting at your toe, rather than your waist! – and treat them as such. With delicate seams accentuating the altitude and decadent clusters of jewel-like studs covering the heels, you really wouldn’t want much else to pose as a possible distraction. Keep all else sartorially simple – and that bum covered – and let these slinky suede indulgences put all other boots to shame. On Net-a-Porter for $2,070.
Pair with: Strut your tough stuff with a cropped leather jacket. By Malene Birger’s “Pauli” biker jacket has a detachable knit collar to cool down your sizzle. On Net-a-Porter for $1,050.
