Walk Among the Blossoms In Floral Boots

Wouldn’t it be nice if everywhere we walked, flowers grew around our feet? Unfortunately, the average city street is more hard concrete than dewy blooms, and most city-dwellers are lucky if they get to see a naturally occurring wildflower once a year. Wearing a pair of flower-patterned boots, though, might just give you the dose of floral freshness you crave.

Make every step feel like you’re walking through a meadow of sweet-smelling flowers in floral boots.

Madcap Botany

Sometimes, when it comes to florals, it’s better to go big than go home. If you’re feeling bold, try wearing all-floral everything, from your rose-printed combat boots to a posey-covered minidress and orchid-print kimono. Meshing your florals is a tricky practice, but as long as you keep at least one color in common for all of your pieces and ground the look with solids like black socks and a solid taupe bag, you’ll look eccentric, not cuckoo.

Dark Romance

Indulge in the romantic Victorian looks of your favorite literary heroines by taking inspiration from their windswept heroines. A full, below-the-knee black skirt in silk or taffeta meets its match in a frilly white blouse with a tousled updo and pink cheeks, but a look that traditional needs a twist to survive our modern times. Enter the floral-speckled heeled ankle boot, which recalls an Austenian English garden, to give your ensemble a lift.

Desert Flower

Injecting a little floral always ups the sweetness of your outfit, but doing so in the form of a boot is an unexpected way to bring a taste of the garden into your look. Give a basic urban-cowgirl ensemble of dark-wash jeans and a T-shirt a twist with a pair of Western-style boots embroidered with desert roses.

April Showers

Transitional seasons bring welcome precipitation, giving rise to green leaves and colorful blooms from dark, fertile soil. Go splashing through the puddles in a pair of rain boots emblazoned with flowers of every kind. Foretelling the burst of new life, these cheery boots pair beautifully with a bright raincoat and knee socks peeking over their tops.

Even if the flowers aren’t blooming where you are, you can still bring the romance and beauty of a garden into your wardrobe. Let your garden grow around your ankles in the form of a cheery boot and you’ll always be walking through flowers.

How does your garden grow? On your boots!
