Street Style: Breaking the Rules

Here at the UnregisteredStyle, we suggest our models to illustrate their creativity through their individual styles and looks. If this means our models have to extend themselves beyond the formalities of individual style and break the traditional rules of fashion, then so be it. As long they are comfortable and look good, we have no problem with them pushing the style envelope.

In today’s post, Acira shows us how to wear knee high leather boots during a cooler summer morning in New York.

Now, I know you are wondering, “Boots in the summer! This girl must be mad…” but apparently, this look has flooded the streets and subways of New York for a couple of years now.

Let’s take a look at the history of knee high boots.

Knee high boots are recognized exactly from the title of their name; boots that are traditional manufactured to rise right above or below the knee. They were originally created to protect a person’s feet from Mother Nature’s creations including mud, cow and horse manure, and water. Individuals that were wore knee high boots worked in the dairy and agriculture industries. Furthermore, each boot was customized to fit each person to wear at work.

Today, knee high boots have transcended beyond blue collar workers to the fashion industry. Since the 1950s, knee high boots were known to be sophisticated and edgy within the fashion world. This iconic footwear still holds the same amount of fame in today’s fashioin industry. So, let’s take a look at how Acira wears knee high boots.

How do I know what to wear with knee high boots? When selecting the appropriate articles of clothing to wear, please remember that knee high boots are supposed to show a slim and long elusion for the body. So, chose clothes that compliment both the boots and your body.

Acira is able to dress up a pair of denim shorts from Old Navy and a navy blazer from H&M with her knee high boots, which compliments her body. If you take a further look, the blazer is not too big, the shorts are not too short, and the boots are not too high. Everything is just right.

For any woman that wants to pull off this daring look, for starters, you should start with a nice figure and a high level of fashion confidence. For more looks from Acira, follow her on Instagram @mzsoulodolo17 .
