One of the major trends for this season is the street warrior or urban women gladiator look. This look should transmit an image of a fighter woman without blemish and without fear in an urban arena. This style is characterized by sheath studded dresses, studded mini-dresses, chains, bolts and of course studded boots.
Designers presented studs in all fashion items and in multiple shapes, sizes and colors: rounded or pointed, micro or macro, gold or silver. Designers took the risk and presented several dark Gothic punk rock models at fashion runways. Actually, the first glimpses of this trend appeared last year in the winter Prada collection with several femme fatale models dressed up with black glass and jewelry applications and leather fringes. This warrior, strong, mysterious, underscored spirit is even more amplified with the usage of mixture of vibrant and darker colors, like reds and blacks mixed with burgundy and brown.
This style is becoming an established trend perfect for day outfits that combine jacket, vest or a shoes with studded details. Be careful, because this look at night and when exaggerated can create a very high-impact. The important thing is to play with the studded surfaces and finding a balance, for example, mixing hard studded elements with the sweetness and softness of wool. Think of a pair of leather studded boots and an oversize wool pullover. A statement of style and determination and glamor.
This season, anything with studs goes. You are going to see lots of studs for the coming 2009/2010 Fall and Winter.
Studded boots aren't just for the rough and tough biker women. Nowadays any woman with a little bit of funk in her can style embellished boots. Notice how Sienna Miller, English model Sarah Harding, and Megan Fox wore studded boots in very different ways. Sienna looked like a bohemian girl in a slouchy, suede pair by Vivienne Westwood; Sarah took the rocker route.
The shoes' edgy embellishments give plain woman outfits some oomph. Invest in a high-heeled pair, bacause flat ones just don't have the same femme fatale appeal.
A pair of studded boots revamps your looks and style. They are designed with sides studded with metallic rivets to give a rockstar look. These boots can feature different linings to keep your feet cool in summer and hot in winter. These boots may come with a full shaft zipper for easy and comfortable fit. Metal brand logos may give the boot a more stylish and trendy appeal. Pair these boots with jeans or a bohemian skirt that will give you a ravishing appearance and will make you the center of attraction.
