Inspired By: Cameron Diaz’ Classic Black Leather Boots

Aug06

Cameron Diaz classic black bootsHave you heard of Comic Con? Comic con is the largest comic and popular arts convention in the world. This year it ran from July 23rd to July 26th and more celebrities than ever showed up to promote movies, projects, movie franchises and more.

I liked a lot of the celebrity fashion I saw covered at Comic Con because it was a bit more casual than the normal red carpet attire. One of my absolute favorite looks was put together by Cameron Diaz.

Sporting skinny jeans, a long white tank top and a cure fitted vest over the top, she finished the outfit with a pair of comfortable looking and a little edgy motorcycle style boots. Flat heels, a shiny patina and reaching up to her knee, they just look super comfortable but hot at the same time.

So sure, its summer and we’re not wearing a lot of black boots right now, but Cameron suddenly has me inspired to try it out. After all, where we are in the Northeast it’s been a super cool summer so maybe this is a look I could go for right now! So, what are my options here at Planet Shoes to emulate Cameron’s look?

Let’s see!

Tom's Wrap BootTom’s Wrap Boot

These are so cool! I also think they might be perfect for summer into fall transition. This boot is called the Tom’s Wrap boot for a reason. The basic construction of the boot is actually an ankle boot and then you literally wrap the rest of the boot up your leg. This ensures a snug and leg enhancing silhouette and you don’t have to deal with the aggravation of pulling them on and pulling them off all the time.

If you have trouble finding boot shafts that fit well, these may be a great option for you and they look totally fabulous with little dresses and skirts – so if you’re going to experiment with a tall boot in the warmer months – this is a great one.

Also, don’t forget the reason’s that Tom’s Shoes are great for the world!

Chinese Laundry bootChinese Laundry Tahoe

As usual, Chinese Laundry comes up with an elegant and sophisticated option! The Chinese Laundry Tahoe boot it sleek, sexy and comfortable set in a nubuck black suede and topped with a three silver clip buttons.This is a boot designed to accent any look you put together rather than being the showpiece, and that’s why we like them!

This boot will slouch a little bit during wear, and is designed to, and actually has a 1” hidden wedge heel so you’ll be getting a little extra height even though it doesn’t look like it!

Perfect for wear with dresses and skirts, these boots will also look great over your skinny jeans. The suede and slouch lends a more casual feel to the boot while the line keeps them elegant and versatile.

Geox black bootsGeox Kink Lace Boot

Geox has a knack for creating urban and edgy options and the Kink lace up boot is certainly a great example. The black leather used in the boot has been distressed giving them an awesome vintage feel. They are set off by a motorcycle inspired ankle buckle and the kink is turned up by decorative lacing up the back of the boot.

Don’t worry, you get in an out of these babies with a standard inner zipper – you don’t have to lace up every time! Geox also incorporates awesome technology into their boots, sandals and shoes that keep them super comfortable and breathable no matter the conditions – and that’s a great thing in a leather boot!

So if you’re looking for a vintage and urban look, Geox may be a great place to start.

Nicole black bootsNicole Right Now

Right now is right! This boot is so classic and versatile that it had to be included. The smooth leather sheen, the classic shape, the simple low heel and the elegant rolled over cuff looks fabulous for every day wear. The great news? You can roll that cuff up and make them simple tall boots, or keep it rolled over, or roll it over more!

This is a supple and flexible leather upper and Nicole shoes, as usual, delivers the comfort, durability and fashion flexibility we’ve come to expect. If you need the ultimate go-to boot to transition between seasons and to look fabulous as temperatures drop, this is the boot for you!
