Men are in on the trend now too thanks mainly to Hollywood. Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis are just a couple of the manly men sporting this current trend. UGG have created a range for 2011 in a masculine palette of muted browns and practical black so guys can share in this footwear revolution.
Soft colours and a feminine touch creep in to men's winterfootwear through suede. The classic Chelsea boot is appearing on the high street in pale shades of soft suede and the UGG comes in beige hues too. It isn't the most practical material or colour, but for those special occasion boots suede is the must have look this winter. It adds a soft edge to harsh lines and strong silhouettes. Added to a perfectly tailored dark suit, soft suede adds a quirky yet soft touch.
If you are looking for a more practical shoe style, there are boots in complete contrast to sexy over the knee styles and feminine detailed ankle booties. There are chunky block heeled boots with motorcycle style touches, combat inspired boots and rugged made to look weathered styles. Many styles also have a real wild west or country feel. Try brands like Frye and Juicy couture.From pumps to fashion boots, Ugg boots and even sneakers; platforms and wedges are the must have heel style.
