Style with me these sleek and wearable boots for various occasions such as everyday, workwear and nights out.


These particular boots are comfortable with their 2” chunky heels.


The tops are relatively open, which allows you to tuck in the currently trending, wider cut pants.

1. Blazer as a mini dress

To achieve this look, start with a neutral tank top tucked into a black, mini skirt.

Layer on a black, oversized blazer. Roll up the sleeves to control the form and show some skin. Use a skinny, black belt to cinch at the waistline, turning your blazer into a dress.

3. Another blazer look

For a slightly different take on the black blazer and boots, instead of pairing them with a mini skirt, try some sleek, black pants instead.


Don’t forget to play with the length of the blazer sleeves to show a touch of skin. The skinny belt creates a beautiful silhouette on an otherwise bulky piece.
