Gray is the New Black: Essential Guide to Gray Boots

by Joyce Amerson

Gray boots are an alternative to black boots for the fall and winter months. Both ankle, mid calf, and over the knee gray boots are hot and incredibly fashion savvy. Stars like Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, and Lindsay Lohan have been seen wearing gray boots in many styles. You, too, can wear gray boots in an effort to give your black boots a rest.

To simply state that you want gray boots is an understatement. Exactly what kind of gray boots do you want? There is dark gray, steel gray, light gray, and charcoal gray. Do you know what color gray boots are most appropriate for you? Gray boots in any hue are perfect for brunettes and blue eyed women. So as not to appear washed out and translucent, women with pale skin or red hair, should opt for darker gray boots with accents such as studs, buckles, and zippers.

Don't ruin your gray boots by wearing all black or black accessories. Liven up a little! Consider dark denim jeans, purple opaque tights, tunics, and splashes of color. A spring dress worn in months past can be prepped for your gray winter boots by adding a warm wrap, pashmina scarf, elegant cardigan, and essential winter accessories. Why not consider a fabulously chic gray pencil skirt, a chocolate brown sweater, and a tan purse to complement your gray boots? A crisp white shirt is appropriate, but warm up your look with colors like Kelly green and turquoise.

A few accessories were mentioned in the aforementioned paragraphs, and a few more will be listed here. Consider chunky necklaces, oversized sunglasses, patent leather belts, hobo purses, embellished clutch bags, cocktail rings, multiple strands of necklaces, multicolored scarves, patterned tights, and leggings. Colors to consider for your accessories include brown, purple, green, darker reds, fuschia, navy, and turquoise.

Gray boots are a fashion essential for fall and winter. These neutral color boots are perfect for dressing up and dressing down. Don't be afraid to give your black boots a rest as you step out in style in your gray boots.
