HIGH FASHION TREND: GLITTER BOOTS
These extravagant boots made their debut in YSL’s Fall 2017 runway show:
A little over a year ago, Rihanna and Kendall Jenner were both photographed in the $10,000+ YSL boots within a few weeks of each other, and the trend went viral on Instagram:
Flash forward to this season, when Jeremy Scott did a version of glitter boots in his runway show. His boots were translucent and ornamented with confetti-like jewels, adding a splash of color to the look:
These boots were paired on the runway with a spliced white tee-shirt dress adorned with zippers and a matching corset belt cinched at the waist.
Even Michelle Obama got in on the trend recently, when she wore a glitter version of Balenciaga’s popular Knife boots.
How to Buy Glitter Boots on a Budget
If you want to get in on this trend yourself, you can do it without dropping thousands of dollars. Below, we’ll show you how to get the high-fashion trend for less:
Affordable Glitter Boots, Option #1:
These thigh high boots from Dolls Kill are the perfect boots for catching eyes! They can be worn with a variety of colors to really make a statement, or paired with a black outfit to better showcase the bold shoes.
With glam all-over sequin detailing and a sturdy heel, at $68, they come at a bargain price.
Affordable Glitter Boots, Option #2:
You can get these beauties in Gold or Silver from Fashion Nova, at a budget-friendly price of $49.99. Although the holidays are over, the glitter and fun doesn’t have to end.
Thanks to their light tones, these gold boots can spice up a neutral outfit or nicely accentuate bold colors.
These are incredibly versatile, as well. Pair them with dark skinny jeans tucked in, a dark sweater, and a scarf during the week. On the weekend, pair them with your best party dress!
Affordable Glitter Boots, Option #3:
I personally love these brocade boots. While statement-making, they are, in a way, more subtle than the other boots. Thanks tho their classic black and soft gold pairing, these will look great with most things already in your closet. Think a little black dress, skinny jeans, or a mini skirt.
At $79, they are priced slightly higher than the other pairs, but Venus is a great company with solid quality. These are sure to last.
Affordable Glitter Boots, Option #4:
Be your own knight in shining armor in these YSL-inspired boots! These are a shorter option from Dolls Kill for those who prefer to skip out on the thigh-highs.
These glamorous boots still have the shine of the YSL boots, but with a lower cut. Like most boots, these are great with skinny jeans. These boots will also look great under some flared pants if you want just a peek of the shine. Additionally, as it’s still chilly out, you can pair these with tights under a mini skirt and sweater.
At $45, these are a less expensive option to let you try this trend.
