Warm country? Wear Hot Boots!

Living in a country with a warm, cozy climate may be great for your complexion – but not so much for your wardrobe. It can be tricky and arguably impractical to don layers of clothes and boots in the tropics. However, a lot of fashion followers still manage to wear boots, even in countries like the Philippines.

Boots give you street cred, whether you get snow in your country or not. They add flavor to almost any item in your wardrobe: pants, skirts, shorts, and yes, even dresses.

Pair your boots with mini-dresses. Wearing boots with dresses makes it easier for no-frills women to wear even the frilliest of dresses. While dresses are fabulously feminine, boots are ruggedly rustic. There is wisdom to wearing pieces that provide a certain contrast, just like it makes sense to add cream to your coffee.

Rustic boots + feminine dress = a balanced contrast

Flowers are pretty; boots are sexy. If you feel that wearing boots in tropical climate is something you can’t work out, think again. Try wearing a summery dress, with flower prints and light fabric. Go for dresses that go above your knee to give your legs a little more length.

A cool bolero covers you up without smothering you – perfect for Christmas in tropical climates.

Complete your fab ensemble with a tropics-friendly sweater. Even in the Philippines, Christmas can get chilly. A cozy bolero can give you warmth without smothering you.
Use accessories with a rustic feel. Finish off your winter-gone-summer look with accessories that echo the relaxed aura of the tropics. Go for wooden cuffs and bangles with spring colors to pull your outfit together.

Boots and dresses merge western and eastern flavors in fashion. If you have a pair of boots, wear them with confidence! Remember that with fashion fusion, balance exists; wearing your boots with dresses will give your yin the yang it needs.
