Just-For-Fun Friday: Boots In Tropical Countries
I love boots. They're androgynous, chunky, sleek, and they look amazing with layers. While they've traditionally been perceived as winter garb, the occurence of boots being pushed as a fashion forward item has led to girls in tropical countries wearing them.
While I can say they look awesome in Hollywood style shots, a lot of people still can't wrap their heads around wearing a pair in a tropical region that never sees a day of winter. This Friday, let's debate on whether we can carry off wearing a pair of boots!
Generally, if we were to see a girl walking around in any sort of boot with a T-shirt and shorts, we'd regard it as either a try hard, or something falling in the lines of being skanky.
Why is that? Celebs don't always wear their boots with winter garb. Thermal wear like leggings, beanies and vests have all been adopted and normalized as daily wear here. Why not boots? It dumbfounds me, and yet, still I can't even purchase a pair of ankle boots. Just for fun, what say you? Do you own a pair of boots? How would you rock them in our region?
