Feminine with Rock Boots

5 free chic-shocks tips

Rock boots are hyper trendy … and super comfortable … but also VERY masculine! Here are 5 tips to wear them without looking like being part of the SWAT!

To get a feminine result with these boots that can be quite imposing, you will have to shift them for lightness and softness.

5 trails to explore for a feminine outfit with Rock boots:

1. Some styles are more feminine than others

Low boots with studs will be more feminine by nature than lace-up and platform style rangers, but this you knew …

To make the right decision between those 2, make a status report of your wardrobe:

The strategy:

If in your current wardrobe, you have a lot of strong pieces and very feminine pieces, you can start on a rather masculine model that will create a real contrast: new rock ankle boots, platform rangers etc.
For example, if you have veiled dresses, silk tops, lace or guipure pieces, you can opt for a Dr Martens style model.

Your outfits will remain feminine and rock:

On the other hand, if you have rather basic or masculine pieces like blazer, straight jeans, sweater, white shirt etc. then I recommend you to go for a low-boots style with studs or buckles which will bring some peppy broad keep more feminine touch.

Keep also in mind your body shapes:

Avoid “heavy” and compacted effect from platform, lace-up, high shaft models if you have a thick calf (unless it’s to wear with maxi dresses and skirts)

2. For a feminine outfit with rock boots: wear them with feminine pieces

The easiest way to get a feminine result is obviously to combine your rock boots with feminine pieces:

Dresses and skirts of any kind,
Camisoles/ caraco and bodysuits
Shirts, blouses and tops in guipure, lace,
Shirts, blouses with ruffled collar, or Lavaliere,
Blouses and sweaters with a large neckline,
Sequined pieces, sequins, embroidery : top, jacket, jacket …
If you wear your rock boots with pants, prefer a cropped length that stops above the boots.

Show some skin at the level of your neckline or with short sleeves (it is not too much of season, to keep in mind for spring!).

Follow your primary idea and keep thinking to the message you want to populate and the style you want to achieve.

To achieve a rock outfit, you can think of:

a romantic/rock style (BoHo folk and rock)
a sophisticated/rock style (with beautiful luxury pieces for example)
a glamorous/rock style (with ultra feminine pieces, black short i.e)

Avoid very classic pieces, these won’t achieve the Rock result we’re looking for.

In the EBOOK Crack your style shell – Be stylish being yourself I’ve listed 9 different feminines styles with a personal test to identify yours. Did your run that test and find out and define your dominant and secondary styles?

If so, you can use this as a starting point when putting together your feminine and rock outfits…

This way, you’ll have outfits that stick to yourself and in which you feel like yourself (bye bye you being dressed up like everyone else except YOURSELF).

3. For a feminine outfit with rock boots: choose airy and vaporous fabrics:

Airy or light materials such as veil & silk, will bring a contrast with the heavy rock boots.

Especially if you start with new rock ankle boots, rangers, or Dr Martens.

Always try to combine them with vaporous and light pieces, veil remains the best option.

You can also wear them with denim or leather if you are like twiggy otherwise it really weighs down the overall outlook and end up you looking like a SWAT member in his time off …

If you’re wearing them with a skinny, go for the V neckline top instead of the turtleneck!

Also be careful with the tights also with new rock ankle boots, rangers, Dr Martens:

opt for sheer (20D) or semi-opaque (40D) tights rather than opaque ones. Opaque tights may weigh down the overall silhouette
patterned tights will visually thicken the line of the leg (it generally prevails) so if you think your legs are too skinny you can go for them on purpose, if not alway prefer the sobriety of plain tights

4. Combine your boots with “ladyish” colors

Pink, nude, pastel, purple, mauve…these colors will bring softness to your outfits and will also create an interesting contrast with the rock boots…

Powder pink cashmere sweater, ecru cardigan, pastel camisole/caraco, nude pieces … look in your wardrobe for pieces you are not used to wear in rock outfits and create an asserted and original result!

5. For a feminine outfit with rock boots: accessorize your outfit

As always, accessories can guide your style…

To get a feminine result, we will bet on feminine pieces:

Light metal jewelry, fine and delicate.
Mini handbag, get it colorful, fresh and bright : pink, purple, red etc.
Light and colorful silk scarf

Caution : belts can pack the look, wear it only if it is really necessary.

Again think about the primary message of your outfit: rock and feminine.

So in your choice of accessories, stay on a rock trend with rather graphic jewelry. This is not the time to take out your ethnic necklaces for example… unless you make us a clever mix of bohemian/rock obviously but this must then be hyper high sharp melting pot.
